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.
Sanitary bin cost FAQs
How much does a sanitary bin cost in the UK?
It depends on the model. A contracted (serviced) sanitary bin typically costs £8–£15 per bin per scheduled visit, billed every 4 weeks regardless of fill level — usually £120–£200 per bin per year. A disposable Hygiene+ bin is a flat £5.80 per bin used, with no per-visit fees, no contract, and no auto-renewal.
What's included in a sanitary bin contract price?
Most contracts cover the bin hire, scheduled engineer visits (typically every 4 weeks), waste transfer, and a duty-of-care certificate. What's not included: extra visits, ad-hoc collections, fuel surcharges, annual price rises and the cost of being billed for empty visits.
Why is a disposable sanitary bin cheaper than a serviced one?
Because you pay per bin used rather than per visit booked. A serviced contract assumes a fixed visit schedule and charges you whether the bin is full or empty. Most office, café, salon and clinic washrooms fill bins much more slowly than a 4-weekly visit cycle, so contracted users effectively pay for collections they don't need.
Are there hidden costs with Hygiene+?
No. The price is £5.80 per bin (£58 per pack of 10) plus £6.99 flat shipping per order. No agreement, no auto-renewal, no per-visit fee, no annual rise. VAT is shown separately on every invoice.
What's the typical annual sanitary bin cost for a small office?
A 10–20 person office washroom typically uses around 12 bins per year. On a contracted service that's usually £120–£200/year per bin point. On Hygiene+ it's around 12 × £5.80 = £69.60 per year, plus shipping. Use the calculator below for your figure.
Do you offer bulk pricing for multi-site facilities teams?
Yes. Multi-site organisations buying in larger volumes can get bulk pricing — please contact us for a quote tailored to your number of sites and expected annual volume.
Is sanitary waste cost a tax-deductible business expense?
Yes. Providing sanitary waste disposal in workplace washrooms is a legitimate business expense for UK VAT-registered businesses. Every Hygiene+ order includes a VAT invoice.
Why have my sanitary bin contract prices kept rising?
Most UK sanitary bin service contracts include an annual price-rise clause linked to RPI/CPI inflation or a contract index. They also commonly add fuel surcharges. Disposable bins have no annual rise — the price is fixed per bin.
