Edinburgh Council says it cannot currently afford to put sanitary bins in men's toilets across its premises, after councillors agreed they should be provided for trans men and to cut the flushing of wet wipes.
The roll-out could cost an additional £30k a year, according to a new report going before councillors this week.
It comes after a motion was passed in June to agree on the principle of having sanitary bins in every toilet cubicle in schools, libraries, offices and other council buildings.
