The Ultimate Guide to Wheelie Bin Washers
In an era where hygiene, sustainability, and efficiency matter more than ever, Morclean’s wheelie bin washers emerge as a game‑changer. Let’s dive into why these ingenious machines are revolutionising bin cleaning for both businesses and homeowners.
1. What Is a Wheelie Bin Washer?
These innovative machines—ranging from petrol-powered trailers to electric static units—automate the lifting, washing, and recycling of bin wash-water. Simply hook your bin, press a button, and let slow‑revolving spray heads or high-pressure lances do the hard work—all while water drains, is filtered, and reused.
2. Morclean’s Wide-Ranging Lineup
Model Type | Highlights |
---|---|
Trailer-mounted (Daily, Custom, Swift 150, FLITE, etc.) | Mobile, easy to tow by any 800 kg-capable vehicle; process 10–30 s/bin |
Static & Skid units | Stationary setups for high-volume sites like hospitals and retail parks |
Automated FLITE | Uses rotating spray heads—no manual lance needed |
Eco-focused models (Swift) | Emissions-free, battery-driven versions with multi-stage water treatment—run costs ≈£0.40/recharge |
3. Why They Matter
-
Hygiene & Odour Control: Bins can host bacteria like E. coli and mould—leading to maggot infestations and foul smells. These machines sanitise deep-clean and deodorise
Cost & Time Savings: At approx £1.50/day running cost—including fuel and detergent—Morclean’s models combine speed (10–30 s/bin) with longevity. You can clean ~150 bins/day = potential annual earnings of £136k–£165k
-
Water Efficiency: Multi‑stage filtration systems (3–8 stages) clean and recirculate water, reduce consumption, stop bacterial growth, and even self-filter during idle times
-
Compliance & Climate Goals: Meets Environment Agency waste‑water rules, avoids £20k+ fines, and aligns with sustainability goals—especially with electric models and recycled biodegradable chemicals .
4. Real-World Feedback
Our research reveals strong demand and need for convenience:
“The bin sits right under my kitchen window and stinks … I’d rather pay a man to clean it every so often.”
“We pay a company to clean once a month for £2.50 a visit.”
Costing from just ~£3/month, services are already common and valued—especially in summer.
5. Business Impact
-
Entrepreneurial Potential: All you need is a tow vehicle. Morclean suggests start-ups could generate up to £165k/year .
-
Municipal & Commercial Appeal: Ideal for councils, housing complexes, schools, and factories. UK councils and global clients are already onboard
