I use a guy who charges £5 for two bins, pay him a year in advance and get 1 clean free. Problem is, he comes when he wants to?

I was also going to get into this but how many people these days want it doing ? IV got a trailer and a spare flat tank and a welder so was going to build a setup:)

Haha, so he has to empty your bins of the rubbish, cleans them, then puts your rubbish back in them? Sounds an odd way to do it. Surely the only way is to follow the binmen around?

Also is the 2nd bin a blue one? Ie recyclable plastics etc? I've had mine for 2 years now and it's never been cleaned and its still spotless.

First of all, what's it got in common with window cleaning apart from the use of water?

Secondly, have you read this?

3. Managing washings from wheeled waste containers
Wheeled waste container washings (wash and rinse water) may contain detergents, disinfectants
and waste residues which can all cause pollution. Don’t carry out washing in an area that drains to
surface water drains. You must discharge the washings to either:

a foul sewer at a specified location at your own premises, with the agreement and
permission of your local Sewerage Provider

or

an on-site sewage treatment system that’s
designed to deal with this waste and where the
system’s treated effluent discharge is covered
by an environmental permit from us.

Still want to do it?

I'm with Chris P Bacon - you should be thinking of adding tree surgery while you're at it.  After all, some of your customers surely want their trees lopped, don't they?

We've had all this before a couple of weeks ago. Read the PDF and see if you still want to do it.
