Does anyone here get their wheelie bins cleaned
if so how much do you pay and how often do you get them cleaned?
The reason i ask is because i have been trying to think of ways of making some extra cash i noticed there are 1000's of bins in my area but no one cleaning them.

They have a transit van. They have water and they use a pressure washer.

Ours too has a transit with a pressure washer, we pay £2 but the service is very good, come every fortnight0

Round our way they come once a month and it's £3! (It seems to last us though). It's a husband and wife team that do it. From what they were saying, they'd been working six day weeks ever since they started without taking a single day's holiday. If nobody's doing it round your way, go for it!:T:j :TMFiT-T2 No.120|Challenge started 12.12.09|MFD 12.12.12 :j:T:j0

We have ours done once a fortnight at £1.50 a time. Theres definately money to be made there........ our weelie bin cleaner lives in a posh house and his wife (who doesnt work) is running around in a top of the range Merc!!0

These guys make a fortune, there are franchises available for this sort of thing - the money making potential is massive as it is a job everyone hates doing themselves and kitted out with the right equipment you can clean alot of bins a day.0
