Why dirty bin stores cause problems for businesses and landlords, and what a bin store clean covers.

Bin store full of loose rubbish and cardboard boxes before clearing

Bin stores at shops, restaurants, offices and blocks of flats see a lot of waste. Without regular cleaning they quickly become dirty, smelly and a draw for pests.

The problems a dirty bin store causes

  • Smells that reach customers, staff and residents.
  • Pests such as flies, rats and foxes, drawn by food waste. See rats and your bins.
  • Slips on spilled waste and liquid.
  • A poor impression for visitors and customers.

Your duty of care for waste

Businesses have a legal duty of care for the waste they produce. GOV.UK guidance says you must store waste safely and securely, stop it escaping, and make sure anyone who takes your waste away is registered to do so. A tidy, secure bin store is part of that. See why use a registered waste carrier.

What a bin store clean covers

We clear and clean commercial bin stores. That can include removing loose waste and rubbish, washing down the floor and walls, and cleaning the bins themselves. We clean commercial bins in 360, 660 and 1100 litre sizes.

How often?

It depends on how much waste the store handles and what kind. Food businesses and busy residential blocks usually need cleaning far more often than an office with mostly paper waste.
