Bin Cleaning - What A Rip Off !!!

[INSOMANiAC]

These people who come round, spray a bit of water in your wheelie bin and take 1.50 off you.... talk about money for old rope. Who needs the interior of their wheelie bin to be nice and clean? not me !


They must be making a fortune. Next thing you know we'll buying water in overpriced bottles ......

When your main bin is only emptied every two weeks, having it cleaned once a month during the height of the summer is a godsend.

This morning, here in Worksop, Nottinghashire, we have had some extemely high winds. Where I live five recycling bins have blown over, their contents blown all over the place and the it now looks like a landfill site!

Why don't wheely bins have a simple catch to hold the lid closed?

There just cashing in on people laziness

On thing i found it that our recycling bin use to smell pretty bad due to empty tins of cat food

I've started washing them out before putting them in the bin and hey presto no more fishy smells

At least you guys have wheelie bins!!

We had to buy our own dustbin (not even a wheelie bin, just a metal can), and the binmen won't even take the rubbish unless you've already removed the black bin liner from the bin and placed it outside your house!

What a surprise, open unwashed food tins start to smell after a while.....

If mine starts to smell bad I just stick a bucket of hot water with a load of bleach in it. Job done. If people are going to go through my bin trying to steal my identity I want it to be unpleasent for them.

You know what annoys me about odours, the fact that the people whom complains most about smells is................ a smoker!!!!!!

We don't seem to have a problem with our wheelie bin - all our rubbish is in tied up bags straight from swing bin in kitchen - but if people are prepared to pay for their bins to be cleaned then it's a good little earner for someone

Get more bang for your buck.

Before the bincleaner arrives make use of said bin as a toilet for a few hours. Invite your neighbours and passign strangers to do similar.

Hey presto sit back and watch the fun when the bincleaner gets to your reeky wheeled monster.

Alternatively lie in wait in the bin and surprise the bincleaner as they are about their business . To get the full benefit of this do this all the time brushing off any protestations from the bincleaner with chirpy rejoiner " same time next week luv".

Eeee Ba Gum, You dont know when you are well off, when I were a lad I had to wash the rubbish by hand in hydrochloric acid and then take it to the dustcart. If the dustman werent satisfied I cleaned it well, he'd rip me head off and kick it down the road.

*** do you get part of thier wages? you basically have to empty your own bins? do they moan if its over 10kg and make you lift it into the truck yourself? F me what is the world coming to?

Everyone knows that its actually hard to be a binman, you have to know one already to stand a chance of getting a job as one. They get paid way more than they deserve imo... And the cheek of making you do part of thier job for them!!!
