When you tackle the unenviable job of being a junk cleaner at your home or office, it is important that you have the right rubbish bins available. This will ensure that your refuse removal is done seamlessly, and all the rubbish goes into the right bin. 

Making sure your household or workplace is clean and clear of clutter is a time-consuming job and having the correct equipment is essential. You will also want to ensure that your bins are in good order both in mobility and condition. The last thing you want is them to be messy on your curbside, overflowing or being trashed by animals or vagrants who can access the bins due to faulty lids. 

Rubbish Removal Chester is an active contributor to refuse collection in the Chester area, and as a trusted community waste management company offers a wide range of services to help you clean out your junk. We understand the importance of keeping your home, office, and neighbourhood clean and tidy.

Here are some tips on bins and refuse removal processes to help maintain a clean environment. 

Correct Bins for Refuse Collection

Bins of different colours are meant to contain specific waste items for refuse collection purposes. Let us be reminded of what goes in where.

• A black wheelie bin should contain any general rubbish from the home or business, along with things like black plastic, pet waste or polystyrene. 

• In a green wheelie bin should go any form of garden waste, including clippings from the hedge or small branches. 

• Food waste is placed in the brown food bin and can include all forms of food cooked or raw. 

• The grey box can be filled with any form (except black) of plastic. It’s also a place for empty aerosols and any foil that needs to be discarded. 

• Then a green box is the place for cardboard, paper, and glass as well as old clothes. Its also the place for discarded electrical items, mobiles, ink cartridges, and batteries. 

The hard-wearing durable plastic that these bins are made of make them the most commonly used bins for refuse removal. Their size makes them big enough for up to three regular rubbish bags to fit into them. 

This makes them excellent for outdoor use, and they are capable of withstanding the most severe weather situations. It means that you can be assured that the contents are safe while waiting for the refuse collection contractors.

Wheelie Bins

The simple addition of wheels to a rubbish bin has made it easy for junk cleaners to move rubbish around without having to break their backs or get messy. 

Otherwise called wheelie bins, they are undoubtedly the most appropriate bins for moving trash around. Simply tip the wheelie bin slightly and push it to where your refuse collection to takes place. It is so easy to push even if there is a relatively heavy load in the wheelie bin. In addition, there is no need to take a bag one at a time down your long driveway when it can be wheeled in a bin. 

Bin Storage 

Constructing a bin storage area can be done simply and easily in a secluded place out of eyesight on the property. Here all the bins can be stored until the junk is collected. Keep the lids closed to eliminate the likelihood of pests entering them. Remember to line them with bags or pack your refuse in bags before you put then in your trash bin. 

You can build your own storage shed or close in an enclosure that is away from activity so that any smells of stored rubbish don’t reach the house. 

It’s a good idea to have your waste area near to water source or within reach of a hose. Keeping your bins clean is important, not only for keeping them smell free, but also to ensure that bacteria, mould or rot does not take place inside them. Wash them down frequently and ensure that your waste storage area itself is kept clean. 

A word on kitchen waste. While you may be tempted to bin this in the brown food bin, there is a better use for some of it. Consider putting the veggie and food scraps, and even some garden waste into a compost bin some pace in your garden. By composting this waste, you will be adding value to the plants in the garden when it turns into fertilizer. 

Refuse: Do it Right!  

Using the right bins for the different kinds of trash will ensure that you are correctly preparing your rubbish for refuse collection. By knowing which ones to use, you are empowered as a junk cleaner to do the right thing. You will soon know which kinds of trash are suited for recycling and which ones can’t be recycled. 

Waste is a fact of life and dealing it with in a responsible way is everyone’s duty. By having a dedicated protected place to store your bins while waiting for refuse collection day you will be improving the aesthetics of the waste area and ensuring that the bins are protected from intrusion by pests or other scavengers.  

Tough, durable plastic bins with wheels, are the best choice to make for depositing your rubbish in while waiting for refuse collection.  

We find it’s the lack of information that causes people to dispose of rubbish incorrectly, so starting with all the members in the family, inform them of which bin to use for which waste product. In this way we will all do it right.
