Unfortunately, the majority of women are far more likely to try and flush their tampons and pads rather than leave them on bathroom floors if there is no sanitary disposal bin available. While this may alleviate any hygiene and cleanliness issues, flushing sanitary products comes with a whole host of other negative implications for your business.
While there has been an increase in awareness surrounding these issues in recent years, this is still a significant problem for many businesses and public facilities.
While it may be understandable that women would prefer to flush their products rather than carry them around to find a suitable disposal unit, this can result in major plumbing problems for your facilities. Most drains are not designed to carry much more than toilet paper, and flushing sanitary products on a regular basis can mean costly blockages and possible flooding of your washrooms.
By installing sanitary bins in your public toilets, you can avoid the risk of incurring expensive call-outs to deal with heavy blockages, and ensure that your facilities are in the best working order for your staff and your customers.
Being the case, any women that visit your premises whether that be employees or customers, must be provided with sanitary bins in safe, accessible and hygienic areas of your washroom.
As well as providing these sanitary bins, your organisation cannot be responsible for disposing of the sanitary waste. Therefore, only a licenced carrier of sanitary waste can be responsible for this. At First Class Cleaning Services Nairobi Kisumu Eldoret Kakamega Kenya we are fully licenced to service your sanitary products and dispose of your sanitary waste in a discreet and hygienic way.
