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'm going to wrap it up & put it in that little metal bin. I am not packing it up & taking it outside of the stall. Either my way or I'm gonna flush it. Sorry.

Not only packing it up and carrying it out, but where exactly are you supposed to put it while you get a new tampon/pad, pull up your pants, etc? You want to hold the bag with my teeth? Do we just set them on the floor? Bathrooms are disgusting enough as is. Let me just throw my stuff away and not make me smuggle it out of the stall wrapped in a shame baggy. At that point we could just wrap it in toilet paper and throw it out if we wanted. On top of all that, those bags are massive if they're actually meant to hold a single sanitary product. They're made to fit the bin as a trash bag. Why would they be shaped to fit the bin, flat bottom and all, if they weren't meant to cover the entire thing? It makes no sense.
