Sanitary waste management
Sanitary waste is considered offensive/hygiene waste, and includes things like nappies, feminine hygiene products, incontinence pads, and more. This type of waste should not be flushed down toilets, and must be stored separately from other waste, in specialised bins.
Since a legislation update in 2023, easily accessible and well-maintained sanitary bins must be provided in female and gender-neutral bathrooms in all public facilities, including:
- Pubs and Restaurants
- Hotels
- Hospitals and doctors surgeries
- Offices and commercial buildings
This ensures that users of these facilities are comfortable, and that sanitary waste is stored and disposed of safely and hygienically, with minimal risk of infection transmission. Facility managers must also adhere to strict schedules for emptying and disinfecting these bins.
