What you escape when you ditch the contract
No 24–36 month lock-in
Most sanitary bin agreements run multi-year with auto-renewal. Disposable bins have no agreement at all.
No per-visit invoices
Stop being billed for engineer visits to empty bins that weren't full. You pay per bin used — nothing else.
No annual price rises
Contracted prices typically rise each year. Hygiene+ is a flat £5.80 per bin — what you see is what you pay.

How it's calculated
We multiply the number of bins you use each month by £5.80 (our single-bin price when bought in a pack of 10) to give a monthly cost, then ×12 for the yearly figure. Add your current invoice amount and we'll compare the two side-by-side.
Send us a recent invoice and we'll send back a like-for-like quote — usually within one working day.
Figures are estimates only and depend on your current service cost, usage and disposal arrangements. In many scheduled servicing models, bins may be collected whether they are full or not, which is why low-volume sites may benefit from a buy-as-you-need alternative.

Alternative to a sanitary bin contract: FAQs
What is an alternative to a sanitary bin contract?
A pay-as-you-go disposable sanitary bin. Instead of signing a 24–36 month service agreement with scheduled visits and minimum charges, you buy Hygiene+ disposable bins outright at £5.80 per bin and dispose of each sealed bin in your existing general (offensive) waste — no contract, no notice period, no auto-renewal.
Why are UK businesses moving away from sanitary bin contracts?
Contracted services lock you into long terms with annual price rises, charge per scheduled visit regardless of bin fill level, and often auto-renew unless you cancel inside a tight window. Disposable bins remove the agreement entirely — you pay only for what you actually use.
Is it compliant to dispose of sanitary waste without a contract?
Yes. UK law (Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and the Environmental Protection Act 1990) requires hygienic disposal of menstrual waste — it does not mandate a specific contractor. Sealed Hygiene+ bins are classified as offensive waste (EWC 18 01 04) and may go into your standard commercial general waste stream.
How does the total cost compare to a sanitary bin contract?
Most UK contracts charge £8–£15 per bin per scheduled visit, billed whether the bin is full or empty, plus admin and fuel surcharges. Hygiene+ is a flat £5.80 per bin used. A single-cubicle washroom on a 4-weekly contract typically pays £120–£160/year; the disposable equivalent is normally £70–£90/year. Use the calculator below for your figure.
I'm already in a sanitary bin contract — when can I switch?
Check the agreement for the initial term, notice period and auto-renewal clause. Most providers require 60–90 days' written notice before renewal. Once you've given notice, order one pack of 10 Hygiene+ bins to bridge the changeover — delivered in 2–4 working days.
Will I need any extra waste-collection arrangement?
No. Sealed disposable sanitary bins go into the same offensive/general waste stream your business already uses. There is no specialist hazardous-waste collection required for menstrual waste in the UK.
Is a no-contract solution suitable for larger sites?
Yes. Multi-site facilities teams use Hygiene+ to standardise across small offices, clinics and retail units without per-site agreements. Order centrally and ship to each location, or buy in bulk and distribute internally. Get in touch for bulk and multi-site pricing.
What happens if my usage changes month to month?
That's the point of going contract-free. Order more when usage rises and less when it falls — there's no minimum order, no fixed visit fee, and no penalty for under-use. Hygiene+ bins have a long shelf life when stored dry.
