How have you "prepared" the garbage can for it to be reef/food safe?

rubbermaid trash bins. i like their round shape. the rectangle bins bow out and aren't as strong.

as for preparation I just rinse them thoroughly with hot tap water. I'm afraid of adding any bleach or such to clean them.

rubbermaid "Brute" 44 Gallon Garbage can. I think that is as durable a garbage can can get.

Rubbermaid makes a 120 liter trash can with wheels; makes it easy to move around. Can find them at Can. Tire or Wal-Mart

When first got new, washed with a scrub brush and a little bleach. Since then just rinse with tap water.
