Question
Hello Rabbi, if a person enters a building's garbage room, are they required to wash their hands before praying?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
There is no source that mandates washing hands upon entering a garbage room.
It is important to remember that if the hands become dirty from garbage, they should be washed before praying, reciting a blessing, or studying Torah.
