Hello
How do Sqns deal with the issue of hygiene waste? Is this managed ‘in house’ ie some unlucky individual empties the bins in the toilets, or do they use professional companies. This is beconing an issue for our Sqn so it would be good to know what other do.
Many thanks
We use Binny sanitary bins. Google them, much better than paying a professional company.
We also use Binny - cost effective as no monthly fee’s, cheaper if you buy more but fold flat for easy storage.
Thank you for this recommendation. We’ve been frustrated trying to work out how to provide the correct support too.
Tied in a bin bag and disposed of in the household waste?
Not been on a Sqn for several years but camps are particularly problematic where a building do not have a sanitary contract.
Related but not specific to bins
A challenge we have found last 2 years or so is the hygiene around it and they aren’t being taught / aren’t taking it in if they are being taught
On camps they aren’t disposing of them properly which other than the obvious hygiene it also create smells etc - and I’m talking in bags and not just missing the bin.
To combat this specific to my Sqn we talk a lot more open about it if it comes up, the lady who does the lesson on reasonable makeup etc now includes it as part of it.
We’ve always supplied products in the toilets, but now we also provide essentially nappy bags that it can be put in. These go away on camps and things as well when I go and put into the loo’s for the duration.
But when checking Accomodation loo bins in the actual toilets is now on our check list and if not one then we get it sorted - most of the time I’ve found the staff themselves helpful and they’ve sorted it, I think twice we’ve use a cardboard box with a bag in it.
Provide sanitary items in the toilets.
Provide sanitary bins in the toilets.
All waste emptied after each parade from across the Sqn. Double sack the bag.
Only ever 1 sack of waste, even with 80 cadets.
If an ‘event’ civ com tasked with waste disposal.
Else i as OC cleared the one bag home each night.
Sack disposed of at work.
Job done.
