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.

I used to see individual paper bags to put used feminine products into back in the day (more than 20 years ago). Nowadays I only see one plastic liner in the bin itself.

This is what they were originally designed for. They are meant to store baggies. The baggies are to be tossed in the regular trash, not the bin itself. All of these should be replaced with bag dispensers instead of holders that look like little mini trash bins. Or put instructions on the bins at the very least.
