You can't flush waste water down the drain.
Yet how much oil from cars and dog crap goes
down and probably a lot of other things.
Oh and carpet cleaners waste!!!

Very true John. But very unlikely that a private individual would ever be prosecuted. In fact I don't know if any prosecutions have ever been brought.

Wheelie bin waste water is sensitive because of the germs that they harbour - potentially chucking salmonella, e-coli, chlostridium etc into the surface water drains, which in turn flow into the streams and rivers. But many individuals do it and I suppose they could argue that there isn't much choice, apart from pay for a bin cleaner which most don't want to do. I've tried the 'environmentally friendly' approach on the door but very few care. Round here if it's a choice between a bin clean or an extra Smirnoff Ice on Saturday night I lose every time 

Dave, you're probably right about the bin belonging to the property but I would guess that the Council would quickly take exception to bin cleaners drilling holes in the bins. I think the punters might too. It's a shame because it would make my life a lot easier. Interesting to see that wheelie bins get used for a lot of things though. Go-Karts, handy bench to saw logs, compost bins, anvil, barbeque beer chiller, lethal weapon. They've become quite iconic

I think its possible to start a bin cleaning company for a lot less than £8k. My advice to you is to shop around and research before you commit.

Anyone interested in building a budget wheelie bin cleaning unit ,can use a 1000litre ibc tank as the cleaning booth with a section cut out the back end  large enough to take a 240 litre wheelie bin .sit this on top of a 400 litre flat  tank which can collect the waste water and another 400 litre upright tank for clean water to feed your pressure washer . you could use 1 tank and filter/recycle the water . i was doing about  65 bins average each day   set up in a citroen dispatch .
