Sanitary and nappy bin waste is a controlled waste and must be disposed of under strict legislation as laid down in The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. At CLD, we offer a liner exchange service for your sanitary and nappy bins, rather than a bin exchange. Using a liner exchange service for sanitary or nappy bins has some benefits when compared to bin exchange.
The use of sanitary bin liners helps to keep the waste contained within the bins. This is cleaner and more hygienic than putting waste straight in the bin without a liner however the liners must be exchanged, and the bins cleaned and disinfected regularly. Here at CLD we offer an onsite sanitary and nappy bin service. This means that our professional cleaners will remove the full liners and discreetly take them away from the premises to be disposed of safely. The bins will then be hygienically cleaned and disinfected in situ.
The liners themselves are antimicrobial and are usually scented but a silicate powder can be used instead. This is a far more hygienic and discreet way of servicing the sanitary or nappy bins as the bins themselves don’t have to be taken through any public areas. This would not only create bad odours but could potentially cause a health hazard by contamination. This also ensures you keep the bins which were installed in the first place.
Lastly, because this is a quicker more convenient method of servicing sanitary or nappy bins, it works out cheaper for you. Less bins need to be used if they are not themselves being exchanged, therefore less plastic needs to be manufactured. The liner exchange service also saves on fuel, as with a bin exchange service, the bins are collected and taken back to be cleaned and then a new shipment of clean bins has to be delivered to your premises. Most liners used now are made from a percentage of recycled materials meaning overall, less plastic is used with the liner exchange service.
Overall, a liner exchange service for your sanitary or nappy bins, provides a convenient, hygienic and more environmentally friendly solution for cleaning and maintaining your sanitary or nappy bins.
