Hygienic Sanitary Bin Service
Disposing of sanitary waste can be a sensitive and nerve-wracking experience because poorly maintained hygiene sanitary bins are a potential breeding ground for bacteria.
Initial's feminine hygiene unit service gives you the confidence that your visitors have a safe, hygienic and simple way to dispose of their sanitary waste.
Through customer feedback, we have created a supremely hygienic method of disposing of sanitary waste. Each Signature sanitary bin houses an integral anti-microbial coating that prevents the spread of germs and contains a BioFresh insert that combats any unpleasant odours.
