Legislation

Compliance

Are you complying with the law? The 'Duty of Care' Act demands that sanitary waste is managed to a point of disposal. Waste must be carried by a licensed carrier, and a full audit trail of documentation must be available at all times. Failure to comply can lead to a hefty fine. This applies to all commercial premises, even if only one female is employed.

There is no such thing as a soluble sanitary towel or tampon. Flushing sanitary items down the toilet, pollutes rivers and coastlines and may result in blocked drains. From a survey of 452 river and canal sites the Environment Agency found 34% of sites had sewerage derived litter, such as sanitary towels.

Nearly five million sanitary products are flushed down the toilet every day. The Bag it & Bin it campaign aims to prevent sewage related debris from littering riverbanks and coastlines by informing people of the problems that will occur if they flush disposable products down the toilet.
