Surface-mounted or recessed?

Surface-mounted disposals install on any wall or partition and are the retrofit choice. Recessed units are flush and vandal-resistant but need a framed opening. Both take liners.

Do these take liners?

Yes. Each unit has a removable receptacle that accepts standard waxed or poly sanitary disposal liners, listed on the product page.

Can I get a combination unit instead?

Yes. Bobrick, Bradley, and ASI make recessed and partition-mounted units that combine a napkin disposal with a toilet tissue dispenser and seat cover dispenser. See toilet compartment combination units.

Is matte black available?

Yes. Bobrick and ASI list matte black surface-mounted napkin disposals to match other matte black accessories.

Are sanitary napkin disposals required by code?

The 2010 ADA Standards do not require one. They say only that a disposal unit may overlap the clearance around the toilet (Section 604.3.2) and, as an operable part, must open between 15 and 48 in. above the floor. State and local plumbing codes and school or workplace rules can require them, so check with the authority having jurisdiction. Our ADA sanitary napkin disposal page quotes the rules.

About Sanitary Napkin Disposals

Surface, recessed, and partition-mounted sanitary napkin receptacles with removable liners.

A sanitary napkin disposal belongs in every accessible compartment of a women's or all-gender restroom, and the good ones are easy to service and hard to abuse. We carry surface-mounted disposals that hang on the wall or partition, recessed units that sit flush in a framed opening, and partition-mounted dual-access units that serve two compartments through one cutout, from Bobrick, Bradley, ASI, and Gamco. Bodies are 22-gauge type 304 stainless steel with a self-closing door and a removable receptacle or liner so custodial staff never handle waste directly, which matters under OSHA bloodborne pathogen practices. Capacities run from 1.2 to 2 gal. Finishes are satin stainless and, on Bobrick and ASI models, matte black. If a compartment also needs a tissue and seat cover dispenser, the combination units put all three in one cabinet.
