Councillors back plans to support men dealing with incontinence, and to protect their dignity and comfort in public spaces.
Public toilets overseen by Stirling Council will soon have sanitary bins for men in a bid to support those with incontinence and other health issues.
Council officers said: “Facilities management currently clean and replenish toilets in most corporate buildings, schools and public conveniences. Within these toilets there is the facility to access hygiene bins within the female and accessible toilets. Accessible toilets also have an additional bin for the disposal of larger hygiene products if it is classified as a changing area. For public access, Facilities management currently operate 17 public toilets across the authority.
Officers said the cost of providing hygiene bins in a stall in each of the 17 public conveniences was £43 per facility - a total of £731 per year for all locations.
