About Us

Bin Cleaned is: Clean and hygienic. Affordable and reliable.

We’re a team of experienced and professional cleaners who take our work very seriously and also have a real commitment to looking after our people and the environment. We’ve got ISO 9001 (systems and processes), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety) and ISO 14001 (Environment) and we’re accredited Living Wage employers, so we really do put our money where our mouth is.

Bin Cleaned operates on a franchise basis and we’re always looking for new people interested in joining the team and operating a new franchise in their area. The size of the route is variable and we believe we offer an attractive package for anyone who wants a fresh challenge and a chance to run their own business, with lots of support.

We’re fully insured and carry all the licences required by local authorities and SEPA, and we’re proud members of the National Association of Wheeled Bin Washers. Try our service today!

Meet the team

We have a great team, both cleaning your bins and managing the office. We believe our staff are everything that makes our business great – so please treat them well, say hello, give them a wave, and speak to them considerately, just as you would like to be spoken to.

David likes to think he runs everything but really it’s Kinga, Lorraine and the team who get the job done. Still, it’s his name you’ll see on some of our letters, blogs and maybe even in the press. David loves Bin Cleaned and hopes everyone in the whole of Aberdeenshire will want their bins made Bin Cleaned. And he loves rugby and drives an electric car.

Andrew makes sure David knows his place so that Kinga, Lorraine and the rest of the team can get on with their jobs. Andrew also drives an electric car because he’s as passionate about the environment as the rest of us are here. He believes people and technology, working together, are the future – so watch this space, there could be new kit on the block anytime soon.

If you’ve been with us a while in Aberdeen City and Shire, you’ll have met Lorraine. She prides herself on the number of bins she can clean in a single day and it’s over 70! She loves to say hello and says it’s the people and her customers who make this job worthwhile, as well as the total satisfaction she gets seeing each bin come up clean, hygienic, and smelling as fresh as a daisy.

Always cheerful and totally diligent, Miro is one of our Bin Cleaned Drivers who makes this job look easy. He’s got a real way with his van and he’ll give you a wave or a smile if you say hello. He loves nothing more than hearing that customers are thrilled with the service – in fact you’ll make his day if you write us a great review!

Kinga is more organised than anyone we’ve ever met. She’s passionate about customer service and getting things done properly and efficiently. If you ever call the team, it’ll be Kanga you probably speak with. She’s amazing and she’ll help you out with any queries you may have.

Sacha works alongside Kinga and keeps the plates spinning when Kinga is speaking to customers. On busy days she has been known to don her PPE and help out Lorraine, so she’s got a unique perspective of office and on the road service delivery.

Bin Cleaned: We’re professional

Bin Cleaned is a member of the National Association of Wheeled Bin Washers. The NAWBW was set up as a voice for our industry and to monitor its members, to guarantee a legal and high standard of wheelie bin washing services for the public, common to all members and that is acceptable to The Environment Agency, Local Authorities and Local Water Companies.

We have ISO 9001 for quality management; ISO 14001 for environmental management; and ISO 45000 for occupational health and safety and we’re accredited members of the Living Wage Foundation.

Even our vans have names...

When you spend all day with your van, it’s hard not to come up with a name. And as each new van comes on board, so a new name is born. We make no apologies for any of them and if you have any suggestions, you can make them on our Facebook page!

FAQs

Is there a minimum term that I have to sign up for?

Yes, your agreement lasts 3 months and to cancel a service we require 30 days’ notice.

Why should I have my bin cleaned?

Bins can quickly become dirty, smelly and turn into a breeding ground for germs and bacteria.

Most councils operate on a fortnightly collection cycle meaning disposed waste and rubbish spends up to 14 days festering in your bins breeding bacteria and creating unpleasant odours. Bins with waste often attract pests which bring additional germs and some of which are dangerous to human health. Just imagine the bacteria that breeds on the surface of your bins let alone inside!

Finally, your bin comes into contact with the waste collection vehicle every time it is emptied, exposing it to yet more germs, bacteria and dirt.

That is why waste bins should be cleaned regularly.

Why wouldn’t I clean them myself?

If you have a water supply, a hose and cleaning equipment, you would probably think to yourself: ‘I’ll do this myself’. However It always comes down to time and convenience.

We have specialised pressure washing equipment and detergents to do the job properly and plenty of experience to make sure your bins are always left spotless.

What type of bins do you clean?

We clean all types of wheelie bin, from small 120L household bins to 1100L commercial wheelie bins.

How often should I get my bins cleaned?

We recommend that your bins should be cleaned every 4 weeks. This is especially important for bins containing food waste. This is the optimum cleaning cycle to maintain a fresh, safe and odourless bin.

If you have any special requirements, please get in contact as we will always try to accommodate your needs if we can.

Do I need to be at home when you clean my bin?

No, you do not have to be in when your bin is cleaned. Just let us know where you will leave your bin e.g. at the kerbside, for the cleaning team. They will put it back in the same place, clean and smelling fresh!

Do I have to supply my own water?

No, we supply everything necessary to clean the bin. We carry our own water supply and detergents.

Does your cleaning service pollute the local environment?

Absolutely not. All debris from the bin and generated waste water during cleaning will be contained in tanks on the cleaning vehicles. These tanks are only emptied at specific licensed points approved by local authorities and water companies under Environment Agency rules.

Will the clean remove all substances from my bin?

Yes, it will. However please be aware that there are some rare occasions where the waste is not of the usual household type or has been disposed of in certain way that it has damaged the bin. Substances such as paint, glue, tar, burn residue cannot be removed using our system.

If you have any other questions relating to our services that we have not covered above, or you need more information, then please don’t hesitate to contact us.

I'm going on holiday soon, how do I let you know I don't need my bins cleaned whilst I'm away?
