Have you ever wondered why some of your neighbours pay good money for a bin cleaning service? Is there something they know about the insides of a wheelie bin that you don't? Understandably you probably don't want to ask them, and that is fine. You can just carry on reading here to learn their reasons behind having a clean bin, and why you need a clean bin as well. 1. Smells and Odours Wheelie bins for domestic rubbish are normally only collected once every two weeks which means waste put in the bin on day one sits there for another 13 days before being collected. It's no wonder they tend to smell in the days before being emptied. But what if your bin isn't emptied as thoroughly as it could be? What if food residue or fluids like milk are left in the bottom of the bin? This then sits there for another 14 days, and in warm weather the odours can become unbearable. 2. Maggots Even the faintest odour from a bin is enough to attract flies. And where there are flies you'll usually find their larvae, the maggot. One single fly that manages to land in your wheelie bin before you close the lid can lay hundreds of eggs in a matter of minutes... and each egg is a potential maggot. Now think about how many times you open and close yours in the course of a week. By the time it's emptied you could have thousands of maggots crawling through your waste, and not all of them will disappear along with the rubbish. Yuck. 3. Bacteria Bacteria love unclean conditions and a wheelie bin offers the perfect breeding ground for some of the most dangerous strains of bacteria known. E-Coli in particular is prevalent in most wheelie bins and can cause conditions such as gastroenteritis, meningitis and septicaemia. A clean surface has around 200 bacterium per square centimetre but an un-sanitized wheelie bin can have over 12 million... including on the lid. Wheelie bin cleaning services use antibacterial agents as well as sanitizers which is why they are becoming so popular. 4. Pests The odours coming from a wheelie bin are enough to tell a hungry fox that there's food inside and not surprisingly a lot of urban foxes have become quite adept at pulling bins over to open the lid. Once open though, the contents of the bin become lunch for stray dogs and cats, rats, mice and even birds - each of which can add to the bacteria lingering on and around the lid. You also get the disgusting job of picking their lunch remnants up off the floor. 5. To impress the neighbours This may seem like a vain thing to say but by paying for a professional wheelie bin cleaning service you can show your neighbours that you also understand the importance of a clean bin! At the same time though you will be helping to reduce the rodent population in your area while also keeping members of your family germ-free, and what better reason is there to keep your bin clean.
