Title: Where have the Wheelie Bin Cleaners gone?
Post by: Londoner on December 03, 2009, 07:54:06 am

They have all vanished round our way. I used to see loads but I can't remember the last time I saw one. One of my customers asked me yesterday if I knew one as hers has stopped coming.

As most were operating illegally by washing them in the road I wonder if they have been jumped on. Or most likely, we have three different bins now and they are all collected at different times / different days so the whole thing has just got too complicated.

given the revenue from bin cleans, you'd need a hell of a lot of custys to generate a decent income.

thats based on £3-4 a clean, round here. i looked at it briefly, but i think it would be hard to get up and running as quick as window cleaning.

i've just looked into it and with a trailer unit costing upto £12 k i think you'd need 1000 customers to make it worth while @ £4 a month paying every quarter in arrears
