Why Choose Waste & Washroom for Sanitary Waste?
Sanitary waste services are often overlooked until something goes wrong. Missed collections, poor hygiene standards or unclear documentation can quickly become a compliance issue for businesses and a concern for staff and visitors.
Waste & Washroom works as your waste partner, not just another provider. As a broker, we compare pricing across a wide network of trusted sanitary waste service providers to secure rates individual businesses can’t usually access on their own. In many cases, this results in immediate savings without changing your existing setup. Where possible, we can even keep your current supplier in place and move your service onto our national pricing.
Compliance is fully managed. We ensure your sanitary waste is collected and disposed of in line with UK regulations, with the correct documentation in place. Your dedicated account manager monitors service performance and steps in quickly if anything needs attention.
The result is a discreet, reliable sanitary waste service that protects your business and removes unnecessary admin.
How It Works
Switching your sanitary waste service is simple and fully managed by our team.
1. Send us your current invoice
Share a recent invoice from your existing provider so we can review your service, pricing and collection frequency. We’ll assess whether changes could improve reliability, hygiene or reduce costs.
2. We compare the market for you
We check pricing and service quality across our network of national and local sanitary waste providers. Because we aren’t tied to any single supplier, we remain independent and recommend options that balance cost, discretion and reliability.
Most businesses see an immediate saving without changing service frequency or unit setup. In some cases, we can retain your existing supplier and move your service onto our negotiated pricing.
3. We manage the switch and ongoing service
If you proceed, we handle everything — including managing the transition, coordinating with your existing supplier and arranging contract exits where required. Services continue without disruption and without added admin for your team.
One point of contact, a smoother service and complete peace of mind.
What Is Sanitary Waste?
Sanitary waste includes hygiene products such as sanitary pads, tampons and incontinence products. UK businesses that provide toilet facilities for staff or the public may be legally required to provide sanitary waste disposal facilities, depending on the nature of the workplace.
Sanitary waste must be collected by licensed providers and disposed of correctly to meet duty of care obligations and hygiene standards. This applies across a wide range of sectors, including offices, retail, hospitality, education, healthcare and leisure facilities.
We make sure your sanitary waste service is compliant, discreet and managed correctly from day one.
What Can Go in Sanitary Waste Units?
Sanitary waste units are designed specifically for hygiene products, including:
- Sanitary pads
- Tampons and applicators
- Panty liners
- Incontinence products
Items that should not go into sanitary waste units include general waste, wipes, nappies, paper towels or food waste. Incorrect use can lead to hygiene issues and service problems.
We help ensure the correct waste streams are in place and clearly communicated to avoid issues.
