    So if the cleaning makes it dirty, sounds like it might not be a bad job to have, self perpetuating :)

    True... never thought of that...

    Did a google on franchises for these services and there are quite a few...

    I have a guy come round once a month (pay £18 up front 6 months worth, £3 a month, you get the bin cleaned out, pressure washered etc in a special machine that's mounted on his jeep/Hilux type vehicle) and then a wheelie bag bin liner put in).

    Round our way there are a couple of guys with a Transit van following the bin lorry around to wash as the bin is empties.I wonder how much a couple of cubic meters of water weighs?
