Has anyone overcome the problems associated with small waste bins used for paper towels in toilets in mental health settings? Metal bins tend to get ripped off the wall/floor if they are bolted down, plastic dont hurt so much if they are thrown, but they are not fire retardent for those instances where fires are started. Do these bins really need to be covered? They simply don't last more than a few weeks and I am struggling to find a reasonable solution. Grateful for any advice Carol
