Require sanitary bins be provided in men and women's toilets

Petition Details

To make it a requirement of any toilet in public or any business, restaurant etc, for men or women, must have a sanitary bin available. There is a particular issue with the lack of availability of sanitary bins in men's toilets, for people who need to dispose of incontinence pads.

Additional Information

Many men suffer from incontinence, including as a result of medical treatment, and need somewhere to dispose of their pads. Currently sanitary bins are often only provided in women's toilets, and even that is not specifically required in law. This really needs to be changed. There are so many men who need this facility.
