Why give your Wheelie Bin a Clean?

A clean bin helps to keep your family safe and happy. Wheelie bins are the most dangerous items in the home when it comes to the breeding of harmful germ and bacteria. Your dirty bin harbours a wide variety of bacteria, some of these may not harm you, but as you touch your bin and keep going with your day, you are spreading the germs and bacteria to others around you.
Did you know that your trash bin is a major breeding ground for bacteria? Trash bins become foul, even when trash bags are used to contain the garbage inside the bin. A dirty bin is 1,000 times more contaminated with bacteria than your toilet? A dirty bin is a perfect place for germs and bacteria which can cause flu, stomach bugs, and even hepatitis A. We come to you and your bin gets sterilised and sanitised, with 99.9% of disease causing bacteria destroyed with each wash.
Bacteria is a main cause for bad odours. The smell of rotting food is stomach churning. No one wants to lift the lid, or even walk past a stinky bin. A smelly bin can also be a breeding ground for flies, maggots, cockroaches, and other bugs.
There have been many studies regarding the growth bacteria in homes, however a recent study in England looked at the amount of bacteria growing in and around the bin. Click on “The bugs breeding in your bins” article in our helpful links section to read more on these germs and bacteria.

Our bins are cleaned with biodegradable chemicals. We pride ourselves on caring for the environment.
Our specially designed wheelie bin cleaning machine comes with 6 in-built filters. These filters help to clean the water and allow us to recycle it for repeat use. The water gets cleaner and cleaner throughout the day. This ensures we are not wasting water, but are in fact able to keep using the water as our day progresses.
When it rains, the water running down your bin has been contaminated with the germs and bacteria growing on it. This water flows across the lawn and potentially into the drains. Technically, this type of pollution is called water pollution. It affects all ecosystems existing in the water, including fish and other animals that drink the polluted water. Our children can unknowingly be walking through or playing with this contaminated surface water. Our wheelie bin cleaning machine captures the water; thus protects the environment from water pollution.

These can be caused by a variety of things in both your rubbish and recycling bin such as dirty nappies, left over or waste food, newspaper; unwashed recycled food packages. Little bits are left in there from the last time your bin was used. Contaminants touch the sides of your bin and stay there waiting until the bin is cleaned or until someone poor, unsuspecting person comes and touches it.
