I’m a small business, I only employ one person, do I have to have a feminine hygiene bin?

This is a very complex question so let’s break it down

Do I have to put a bin in my toilet?

Yes.. health and safety at work says you must have adequate supplies of paper, hand washing facilities, a coat hook and provision for safe disposal of feminine hygiene waste, there are a host of other regulations related to what you can't flush down the toilet that ensure that it is an absolute must.

So can’t I just put a bin in there?

Yes ! you can, but what do you do with the waste?

Can I put it in my wheelie waste bins?

No!!!, you have now got a rather smelly bucket of ‘clinical waste’, you have a 'duty of care' to see that its disposal route in correct.

So now what do I do?

You do a risk assessment

How?

Well, if the population using the toilet is healthy and the waste is not a health hazard then the waste can be classed as ‘difficult domestic’ and can go into your normal waste container. If not, it is clinical waste and you need a clinical waste disposal company to take it away and dispose of it legally

But its only me and Maggie work here,

Fine, but can you be sure that you or her (or that nice lady rep who popped in last month) are not HIV positive, or be carrying hepetitus, or MRSA, or any of hundreds of other blood born diseases.

No, not really, not every single time

Then you have to assume it is clinical waste, isn’t it just safer to pay the few pence a week it costs to get it done by the professionals

Yes, so where do I go?
