Just seen this in my local paper and was intrigued by the following bit - http://www.wscountytimes.co.uk/news...d-have-negative-appearance-on-homes-1-6975684

Currently the rear of the garden in the open or the side of the property are where most are keeping their bins. A number do leave them at the front, but the bottom line is that very few are truly out of sight. And despite them getting dirty and smelly over time, our survey found 29% (of 807 respondents) clean theirs less than once a month and an astonishing 35% said they never clean their wheelie bins at all!”

I've never even thought about cleaning my wheelie bins, and judging from the state of my neighbours', neither have they. What about OCUK? Maybe a kind mod could give us a poll on the subject? I'm sure it'd be fascinating.
 
No, never.

But my local council did recently supply a brand new one when the 'waste disposal' people broke the lid of my original one.

So it's fairly clean anyway...for a bin.
 
LOL Some people have too much time on their hands. Its a bin... For Waste...

There used to be a company in Derby that went round and cleaned them for money but not seen them for years.
 
Yes, ours are pristine, I'll regularly hose/mop the inside of the household recycling bin, not so much the green waste as grass cuttings/hedge trimmings don't smell :D

All out if sight too, wheelie bins on property fronts are a complete eyesore.
 
On the topic of bins.

How many bins does everyone have?

I have been considering purchasing a third bin for my kitchen, for food only.

At the moment i put food in with my main rubbish and have another bin for recycling. I just it would be easier to deal with at the rubbish end if the food was not mixed up with the other rubbish. But then it probably all ends up in middle of Atlantic ocean anyway so does it realy matter?
 
Nope never have, don't know anyone around here that does either. Most of the bins are at the front of the houses, with some people leaving their bins dumped out on the path for a week after collection day. We all have three bins each here.
Nobody seems to care. :(
 
Unless you are a savage that puts loose waste (not in bags) in the wheelie bin then the inside of it shouldn't really get to the point of needing cleaning. Bag your waste, tie it and job is jobbed.
