Golden Plains Shire Council is joining the national awareness and advocacy program, Bins4Blokes, which promotes the installation of incontinence bins in male public toilet facilities.
Incontinence products will be made available at 16 public toilets across the shire from early February.
Mayor Brett Cunningham said the bins help to reduce stigma around incontinence while also improving hygienic disposal of sanitary products.
He said the bins will help improve men’s mental health, increase active living and promote social inclusion for men experiencing bladder and bowel health issues.
More than 1.3M Australian boys and mens live with incontinence.
