Commercial wheelie bins
« on: July 11, 2014, 07:14:57 pm »
Hi, I have been asked to quote for jet washing 8 commercial wheelie bins once a week for a hotel I clean the windows on.
They are a bit manky at the mo, but once clean should be easy to keep on top of. (no food waste)
Bit unsure how to price it, thinking it has got to be a couple of hours work each week after the 1st clean. Does around £60pw seem not enough or too much?
Thanks, steven

Pretty sure there is a bit of health and safety you need to comply with for this sort of stuff, due to what you're cleaning out...
Dont think you can just let the dirty water wash away down the drain like you would normal jetwashing...

Also bare in mind you've got to be there not long after the bins are emptied, as it'd be grim if they've put stuff in before you get there...

Not sure on prices though mate, only going on what i gather from a couple of lads i know of that do domestic bin cleaning...

Not something I even considered. Good heads up.
Thanks

A guy round here only charges £3 for a domestic bin and has a converted van so takes the dirty water with him.

We do the inside of them and as pointed out above you need to be there after their emptied. Also not everything comes out of the bins when emptied, cardboard etc gets stuck to the bottoms so accommodate for your time bagging this up.  Turbo nozzle them and throw is some disinfected, soak the lids too after you've cleaned them. The grey lids come up great with a bit of hypo then turbo.

I put the disinfectant in the tank when I clean bins and sewage
