Bobrick Sanitary Napkin Disposals

Bobrick sanitary napkin disposals come surface-mounted, recessed, or partition-mounted, and the range includes TrimLineSeries, ClassicSeries, ConturaSeries, and Fino Collection models. Satin is the main finish, matte black versions carry a .MBLK suffix, and a grey ABS plastic surface-mounted unit is listed as well. Capacity tops out at 1.3 gal., and the smallest units hold 0.5 gal. Details differ by model: the B-254 has a tumbler lock, and the B-270 closes with a piano-hinged cover. Restroom designers schedule them for women's and all-gender rooms, where a disposal belongs in every accessible compartment.

Wall construction usually settles the mounting. Surface-mounted disposals install on any wall or partition, which makes them the retrofit choice. Recessed units sit flush but need a framed opening, and the B-35303 is a recessed 1.3 gal. model with a matte black twin. Where the unit must mount on the partition itself, choose one of the partition-mounted models. Bobrick also lists a surface-mounted sanitary disposal bag dispenser, the B-3541. When the disposal has to be accessible, ADA Section 309.3 places its operable parts within one or more of the Section 308 reach ranges. For an unobstructed reach, forward or to the side, the high limit is 48 in. above the floor.
