Feminine Hygiene & Sanitary Bin Services

At WGS Waste Management, we work across the South East of England, delivering a discreet, practical and environmentally responsible feminine hygiene service for workplace washrooms.

Providing suitable sanitary disposal facilities is an important part of maintaining a clean, hygienic and inclusive workplace. HSE guidance states that employers must provide adequate toilet and washing facilities and, for female employees, a means of disposing of sanitary dressings.

Our washroom services include the supply of feminine hygiene products alongside the supply and collection of sanitary waste bins. From schools to dentists, clinics to offices, we work with a wide range of commercial sectors.

Our service is flexible and cost-effective, with solutions tailored around the requirements of your premises and your customers.

Safe & Hygienic Sanitary Bin Service

At WGS, we use high-quality feminine hygiene products and provide the same professional standard of service whether you operate a small family-owned business or a multi-national organisation.

Part of our service includes the supply, collection and responsible disposal of sanitary waste bins and sanitary waste. We tailor the service around your requirements, offering weekly, fortnightly or four-weekly collections depending on the individual needs of your premises.

During each service visit, our trained team will:

• Collect and replace the sanitary waste
• Clean and sanitise the sanitary bins
• Line them with anti-microbial scented sanitary bin liners to manage any potential odours.
• Transport the waste for appropriate treatment and disposal
• Provide the appropriate waste transfer documentation to support your duty of care responsibilities

This provides your employees, visitors and customers with a discreet and hygienic way to dispose of sanitary products, helping maintain a professional washroom environment.

Our sanitary waste disposal service complies with applicable requirements including the Workplace Health, Safety & Welfare Regulations, the Water Industries Act and the Environmental Protection Act. Using an approved sanitary waste service helps businesses manage their responsibilities safely and professionally.

Why Feminine Hygiene Provision Matters

Periods are a normal part of life, yet without suitable disposal facilities, sanitary products can be flushed down toilets, placed in inappropriate bins or carried away by users.

A dedicated sanitary bin provides a simple solution while helping protect privacy, dignity and hygiene.

For businesses, providing appropriate sanitary disposal is more than a washroom convenience. It demonstrates that the needs of employees and visitors have been considered and helps create a cleaner, more inclusive workplace.

The right washroom facilities make a difference. The right waste-management service makes them easy to maintain.

Environmentally Conscious Washroom Services

At WGS, we're committed to protecting the environment by ensuring none of the waste we collect ends up in landfill.

Feminine hygiene waste is classified as offensive waste, and we handle its disposal safely and in accordance with current waste-management requirements.

Our sustainable approach means sanitary products and disposal bins are managed through appropriate recovery and treatment routes, which can include recycling, reuse, energy-from-waste or composting, where suitable.

From the supply and installation of your sanitary bins through to collection, cleaning, treatment and disposal, WGS provides an end-to-end feminine hygiene waste-management service.

Better Hygiene. Better Compliance. Better for the Environment.

Whether you need a sanitary bin service for an office, school, healthcare facility, hospitality venue or commercial premises, WGS can provide a reliable solution tailored to your requirements.

Toilet Twinning is an extremely important charity that sponsors new toilets being built in poverty stricken areas. Our service fully supports this charity and we encourage all clients to become a 'toilet twin' for just £60. Within this £60 you will receive a certificate that shows a photograph of your overseas toilet twin with the GPS coordinates included so that you can view your twin's location on Google Maps!
