Grand jury: Restaurant garbage an issue in San Mateo County Civil grand jury looks into ‘less than sanitary’ conditions.
Garbage disposal areas outside San Mateo County restaurants are often “less than sanitary” and inconsistently monitored for cleanliness, posing health risks to workers, waste haulers and the public, a county civil grand jury found.
In a report published Tuesday, the jury said it found “deficient,” “unsanitary,” “unsightly” and “odorous” conditions around garbage disposal areas and under parklets outside restaurants in San Mateo County.
