Health Barrels

You never know what you'll see in a public restroom. Whether it's diaper-changing stations or instructions on what not to flush, it's worth keeping your eyes open for oddities while answering the call of nature.

A few days ago I saw this in a women's restroom at an Indian restaurant:


It appears to be a small waste basket with a lid, but it was next to a larger, lidless waste basket. I'm not entirely sure what it was for, and the odd name "health barrels" made it even more confusing. Is it perhaps for unmentionable feminine products?

I have no idea.
