Enviro-LCS is proud to be supporting the BINS4blokes campaign.

 BINS4blokes is an Australia-wide awareness and advocacy campaign promoting the installation of incontinence bins in male public toilet facilities.

  • Promotes equitable access and inclusion for men
  • Ensures availability of incontinence bins in all restrooms, regardless of gender
  • Boys and men who use incontinence products often lack access to appropriate disposal facilities resulting in social isolation and mental health issues
  • More bins in male public toilets gives men with incontinence the freedom to get out with greater confidence and  certainty

ENVIRO-LCS is a supporter of

BINS4blokes

BINS4Blokes is an initiative of Continence Health Australia . An estimated 2.4 million men and boys have some form of incontinence, and for men and boys who rely on incontinence products, there are very few places to dispose of used products. This results in embarrassment, frustration, and a reluctance for them to leave home and engage in everyday activities.

Enviro-LCS is committed to supporting access and inclusion irrespective of gender, by promoting the need for bins to be installed in all male toilets Australia wide, so men with incontience can participate fully in daily activities such as working,  attending social activities, shopping, or dining out.

BACKGROUND

What is incontinence?

Incontinence describes any accidental or involuntary loss of urine from the bladder (urinary incontinence) or bowel motion or wind from the bowel (faecal incontinence).
Incontinence is a common condition that, with the right help, can be managed, treated and sometimes cured.

HOW TO BECOME A SUPPORTER?

Find out where you currently have disposal bins in toilets, what types, for what purpose?

Decide where you would place the incontinence bins and how many you plan to install.
Our suggestion is to have at least one cubicle equipped with an incontinence bin at each male toilet facility/ location.

Raise awareness and inform the public about the availability of your incontinence bins.

  • Bins4Blokes website offer promotional posters that you can download, print and place inside or outside toilet facilities, to make the public aware of the availability of incontinence product disposal bins.
  • We encourage you to promote your involvement in the BINS4Blokes initiative by engaging with traditional and social media.
  • Templates are available in resources section on website www.bins4blokes.org.au/resources

Why have disposal bins for men?

We believe that every Australian should have access to disposal bins for their incontinence products.
