[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you need to disinfect an outdoor garbage can? 
Just rinse it out and be done with it. What am I missing here?[/quote]

Stink, bags ripping, old food debris, rodents.   I've seen crows flip the lid.  There are rodent diseases like the hantavirus so you do want to make the can clean:

The above is one of the best rodent clean up docs I've read.  Note the no sweeping dry debris as well as the recommended use of disinfectants mixed with water to ettle possible air borne particles.   Anyone else care to debate the use of bleach?   [/quote]

Love it! Thank you for posting this info for all of the nasties out there who think that using water is cleaning.[/quote]
