John who came to assist with emptying the continence waste bins was very pleasant and chatty. He ensured health and safety was adhered to signing in and out of the building and didn't rush the process of emptying the bins as I was busy supporting someone else when he arrived and he waited for me to show him where all the bins where situated.
