Safety & Sanitation -
Denio's, with the help of the
vendors, works diligently to maintain a clean,
sanitary and safe environment for your customers.
Vendors are responsible for continuous cleanup and
sweeping, out to and including the middle of the aisle, both in
the front and back of spaces. It is imperative that
walkways and pathways be clear of fruit and
vegetable debris as well as boxes at all times.

Trash - On a daily basis, all vendors
are expected to remove all of their trash, debris,
cardboard and spoils from the premises. Denio's
does not collect nor provide disposal services for
the vendors.
Denio's provides sinks throughout the
produce area for the purposes of sanitary
hand-washing only by both vendors and their
employees. These sinks are NOT for washing
produce. No further produce processing may take place on our
premises. Trash removal is a costly venture.
Enforcing trash removal policies may result in
fines, billing accounts, or exclusion from
selling at Denio's. Trash cans are
strictly for the use of customers, not vendors.

must remove all produce, empty boxes, pallets, bins
and tubs from their produce spaces. Grocery

perishable and are sealed, no bagged product.

perishable products throughout the week on the
premises.
Denio's regularly cleans the yard
mid-week and will not be responsible for any
product left. Any exceptions will be by
Denio's
Management, exclusively.
