All Organisations and businesses, regardless of the number of employees, are required by law to provide suitable sanitary waste disposal facilities. It is imperative that Sanitary Waste Products are correctly managed to the point of disposal and sanitary waste legislations help to ensure feminine sanitary waste disposal units are always available. All toilet cubicles likely to be used by females, including disabled and unisex, should provide a sanitary disposal facility.
