# Washroom Quotes

> Washroom services quotes compared: sanitary waste, consumables, hand dryers and air care. What sets the price, what the waste rules require, and free quotes.

## Key facts

- Sanitary protection and hygiene waste from an ordinary workplace is classified as municipal offensive waste under code 20 01 99 and is non-hazardous, not clinical waste (gov.uk).
- GOV.UK states that where a business produces more than 7kg of municipal offensive waste, or more than one bag in a collection period, it must be segregated from mixed municipal waste; below that it can go in the mixed municipal black bag under code 20 03 01.
- In a washroom contract the renewal clause is often worth more than the headline price: initial terms commonly roll over automatically unless notice is served inside a defined window, so the notice date belongs in a shared calendar the day the contract is signed.

## Data

- What you are actually paying for in a washroom service contract. Methodology: We publish no price range for washroom services because contracts are priced per unit, per service visit and per site, and the same site can be quoted very differently depending on frequency, term and how much of the consumables spend sits inside the contract. This table lists the components a provider prices and the terms that decide what you pay in year two. The waste rules quoted are from GOV.UK and legislation.gov.uk and are dated to the updated date on this page. Use the form above for quotes on your own site.
