My Brother would like to start a business cleaning wheelie bins?
My brother is out of work, he has the idea to start cleaning wheelie bins.... What do you think?

Would you pay someone to come wash and disenfact your bin once a week or monthly ?

If so how much is a reasonable amount ?

I used to, I had to stop though to budget etc. My main bin was done every other week during the summer, and then once a month during the winter, and I think it was £2.50 a time. There are actually two different companies that clean bins down my road. Not so much this time of year, but in the summer his business would be booming, imagine how stinky your bin gets.


Hi T
I think he would need to wash a lot of bins, to make a descent living. Not sure it would be practical, with all the travelling between bins, which would not necessarily be in the same neighbourhood.

My Mum and Dad pay someone for this service but I'm not sure how much they pay. I think it's a good idea - he might want to look around to see if anyone else is already doing it, 1) to see how much they charge, 2) to make sure he's not poaching someone's work... I say do some research and then go for it - he would need to get some leaflets or flyers made but that could be done on the home computer cheaply and word of mouth would be good too. Why doesn't he ask friends and family first and take it from there if he gets a good response? I wish him lots of luck.


big_phil_stone
To make any money, he would have to wash a hell of a lot of bins - maybe he could do it as a sideline and get a part time job as well, until things pick up


Rich T
I think the going rate is around £2.50 a bin. I know that is what people charge in my area.


rippanation
get a jet wash and some very cheap cleaning fluids then just print tonnes of leaflets out cheaply on the pc and begin posting them and see what happens, wheelie bin men empty once a week so find out where the rounds go and always make sure you follow them and learn all of the routes, when you run out of water just ask one of the customers if you can refill with their water and give them their bin cleaning for free charge £2.50 first then just think of how many bins there are out there and watch the money start rolling in, but be careful never to tread on anyone elses areas if they are doing it, its a dog eat dog world. and i hope your brother does it and succeeds good luck.

I have got a wheelie-bin washer....he's been doing it for a few years now and has built it into a successful and well-paying business. He charges about £2 a throw and gives discount if people pay a few weeks in advance.

Good luck to your brother....I think it's great to think of something he can do instead of sitting round complaining....he may need a small loan to buy the equipment he will need....

its something that everyone needs i would charge £2.50

This is a very good idea aa a lot of people do not have the time or inclination to do this. Someone has recently started doing this in my area and it is popular.

Not sure about the charges though as I did not take it up and I threw the leaflet away- I'm moving house very soon so it did not appeal to me.

He can decide what he wants to earn per day, add on the cost of materials and then divide to find his hourly rate or charge per household. Good luck!

I live in the North East we have a couple of companies who clean wheelie bins they charge £2 & make a good deal of money & yes I get mine cleaned by them.Good Luck to your brother also the companies have expanded & have up to 20 lads working for them.


Kenny B
yes i know people who do that and make a living out of it go 4 it


The Trainer
Personally, I think he would be better off either window cleaning or (and this has proved successful for some entrepreneurs) make an arrangement with a DIY store or large supermarket etc to clean customers cars.

Ideally he should team up with a couple of friends/colleagues for this one. The idea is that some customers would jump at the chance of having their car washed (and perhaps vacuumed) while they wait for their wives to do the shopping. Obviously the store would require a cut of the profits but at least there would be a never ending stream of clients.


tom tit
this is a very good idea where i live in north of ireland quite a few lads have started this and are doing very well they normaly charge £2 /50per week alot of my neighbours get theres done every week but i suppose it depends on the area you live in.
GREAT IDEA GOOD LUCK
