Common questions
How often should wheelie bins be cleaned?
Monthly cleaning keeps odour and maggots away for most households. Food-heavy homes in summer benefit from a fortnightly cycle.
Is bin cleaning done at my house?
Cleaners typically wash bins kerbside on or just after your collection day, using truck-mounted high-pressure hot water systems that capture the waste water.
Why not just hose the bin out myself?
Hosing pushes contaminated water into the stormwater system, which many councils prohibit. Professional units capture and dispose of the water legally.
