sanitary bin

Restroom waste receptacle

A sanitary bin is a small covered container in a restroom for disposing of menstrual products like tampons and pads.

Found primarily in women's facilities, these bins are typically wall-mounted or freestanding near toilet stalls: The restroom was clean but the sanitary bin needed emptying.

Also called a sanitary disposal unit.

Chiefly British; Americans more often say feminine hygiene receptacle or simply disposal bin.
