Your washrooms are legally required to have sanitary disposal facilities. But compliance is just the start. With Hygiene Solutions, you get recycle-level waste processing, proof of every visit, and a dedicated team that actually turns up. Every time.
The Environmental Protection Act 1990 classifies sanitary waste as offensive waste. Without a licensed waste carrier and proper duty of care documentation, you face enforcement action, fines, and personal liability for the responsible person.
Overflowing or poorly maintained sanitary bins are the number one washroom complaint in UK workplaces. Staff raise grievances, morale drops, and in schools, students avoid using facilities entirely, creating safeguarding concerns.
Most national providers incinerate your waste and call it "zero-to-landfill." That is recovery level, not recycling. If your ESG reports claim eco-friendly washroom services, you need a provider operating at the genuine recycle level.
Sanitary bin services provide the compliant collection, removal, and disposal of feminine hygiene waste from workplace washrooms. A licensed waste carrier supplies pedal-operated or sensor-activated bins, services them on a fixed schedule, and processes the waste through an approved facility with full duty of care documentation.
Hygiene Solutions has provided sanitary bin services across Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Nottingham, and the wider Midlands since 1999. Every collection follows the same proven process:
Unlike national providers who charge separately for every add-on, our sanitary waste collection service includes everything as standard:
Under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every employer must provide sanitary disposal facilities in all female and mixed-use washrooms. This applies to offices, schools, hospitals, care homes, leisure centres, hotels, factories, and any premises with staff or public access.
Schools have additional obligations under the Education (School Premises) Regulations 1999. As an ESPO framework-approved supplier, Hygiene Solutions enables schools and councils to procure directly without lengthy tender processes.
After sanitary waste collection, most national providers send your waste for incineration (energy recovery). This is classified as "recovery level" on the waste hierarchy. Hygiene Solutions operates differently: your sanitary waste is transported locally to Go For Green (Hinckley to Derby), where it is processed at the recycle level — materials are separated and recycled into new products. Nothing is incinerated. Nothing goes to landfill. This is a genuine, verifiable difference for your ESG and sustainability reporting.
If your current provider locks you into rigid contracts, sends different drivers every visit, and incinerates your waste while claiming to be "green," you are overpaying for an inferior service. Hygiene Solutions offers a 3-month satisfaction guarantee: if you are not completely satisfied, terminate your contract and we will uplift all equipment at no cost. Most clients switch within 14 days with zero disruption.
Duty of care waste transfer notes on every collection. Licensed waste carrier status. Registered waste transfer station. Your compliance files are always audit-ready.
Automatic proof-of-service emails sent to your contract manager after every collection. No more chasing, no more wondering whether bins were actually serviced.
Your waste is recycled into new products by Go For Green, not incinerated. A verifiable ESG credential for your sustainability reports that withstands scrutiny.
Enhanced DBS-checked uniformed drivers on consistent routes. They know your site, your team, and your washroom layout. No strangers, no surprises.
We handle the entire transition. New bins installed, service schedule confirmed, proof-of-service set up. Most clients are fully live within 14 days with zero disruption.
Not satisfied in the first 3 months? Terminate your contract and we uplift all equipment at no cost. No lock-in, no exit fees, no small print. We absorb the risk, not you.
We switched from our previous provider after 8 years and the difference is night and day. We actually know our driver's name now. Proof-of-service emails mean I never have to chase or wonder whether bins were collected. Wish we'd done it sooner.
