What Are Frost Towel and Waste Combo Units?

Frost towel and waste combo units are multifunctional stainless steel fixtures designed for high-traffic restrooms. They integrate a paper towel dispenser (for multifold or roll towels) with a waste receptacle, eliminating the need for separate units and streamlining space. Made from Type 304 stainless steel, these units are fire-rated, vandal-resistant, and built to last—perfect for Canada's variable climates, where humidity in Ontario or cold snaps in Alberta demand rust-proof durability.

Unlike basic dispensers, Frost combos are "universal," meaning they work with non-proprietary towels from any supplier, cutting costs. Capacities range from 4.5L to 68L for waste, with options for hands-free or manual dispensing to minimize germ spread. They're ideal for offices, schools, hospitals, and hotels, complying with Canadian standards like CSA for hygiene and accessibility.

Key Features and Benefits: Why Choose Frost Combos?

Frost units stand out for their practicality and longevity:

• Durability: 18-gauge stainless steel construction resists dents, scratches, and corrosion—essential in high-use Canadian facilities.
• Hygiene Focus: Keyed locks prevent tampering; removable waste bins (up to 68L capacity) make cleaning easy. Hands-free models like the 427 series reduce touchpoints.
• Space-Saving Design: Recessed, semi-recessed, or surface-mounted options fit tight spaces, with capacities for 400–1,000 multifold towels.
• Eco-Friendly: Promote towel recycling and reduce plastic waste; compatible with sustainable paper products.
• Customization: Finishes in polished chrome, satin, or black matte; sizes from compact 4.5L to large 9.5L models.

Benefits include lower maintenance (one unit vs. two), cost savings (up to 20% on install), and improved user experience—fewer refills mean happier staff and visitors. In post-pandemic Canada, their touchless options align with health guidelines. Filter by material (stainless steel or black matte powder-coated) and dispenser type (automatic hands-free, manual, or push lever) on our site to match your needs.

Popular Frost Models: Tailored for Every Facility

Frost's lineup offers options for varying traffic and styles. The 422 series is a manual multifold dispenser with 400–600 towel capacity and 50L waste bin—great for offices or schools, available in recessed or surface-mounted styles. For high-traffic spots like hospitals, the 415 series handles 1,000 towels and 9.5L waste in a recessed design, with black matte finishes for modern looks. The 427 series stands out for hands-free roll dispensing (8" rolls) and 68L bins, ideal for hotels in surface-mounted setups. Use our capacity filters (compact <10L, medium 10–40L, high 40–100L) to sort by size, or mounting type (recessed, semi-recessed, surface, wall) for your install.

Installation and Canadian Considerations: What to Know Before Buying

Installation is straightforward but requires planning:

• Mounting: Recessed needs 4–6" wall depth; surface for retrofits. Use Frost's templates for precise cuts—filter by mounting type on our page.
• Codes & Compliance: Meets NBC Section 3.8 for accessibility; ADA-compliant heights (48" max). In cold provinces like Manitoba, opt for insulated walls to prevent condensation.
• Maintenance: Empty bins weekly; wipe with mild cleaner. Hands-free models need battery checks (AA, 6-month life).
• Common Pitfalls: Undersized bins in high-traffic areas lead to overflows—calculate 50 sq ft per user. For coastal humidity (e.g., Halifax), choose satin finishes over polished.

Pro Tip: Pair with Frost's recycling bins for full eco-systems. General contractors love the modular design—quick installs under 2 hours.

Is a Frost Combo Right for You? Buying Guide

Yes, if you want reliable, space-efficient hygiene without frequent restocking. Consider traffic volume (high? Go 427), budget (filter $0–$500 for entry-level like 422), and space (recessed for modern looks). ROI: Reduced labor by 30% per facility reports.
