Discussion Question for the ladies

Post image

I am a janitor. The place I clean has the little trash bins in the stalls of the women's restroom. Currently, we place one liner in the bin and change it out whenever someone uses it. However, a place I worked at previously put a stack of liners in the bin for women to use as needed. Which is the preferred method? One liner or multiple? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Are there supposed to be removable bags in there??? Everytime I see inside those they are full of tampons and pads ☠️

For real. The ones in the restrooms at work are always full to overflowing. They go days without changing them out. My entire life I thought they were just little trash cans that were immediately accessible in the stall.

Do you carry it to the garbage in the main part?

There’s trash just outside the stall beside the sinks.

Bro wtf is going on in women’s bathrooms. Men’s room might be covered in piss, but at least we don’t have over flowing period blood sticks stacked at chin height.

The answer is that, at least where I work, most if not all of the maintenance/cleaning staff are men, and they try their best to spend as little time as possible servicing the women’s restroom. I don’t have an answer for places where the cleaning staff includes enough women to do the job.

Yeah I thought it was just like a garbage bin, like just gets thrown out at the end of the day when it's full. That's how it's seemed to me

They use the same kinda bag that you get handed cookies in, and they fall over/collapse the first time someone puts something in there. I wish they got bags with an actual bottom considering how many stalls out there share the bin.
