Celebrating 15 Years of the Custom Bin Wash!

Fifteen years ago, a simple but powerful idea took shape: make bin cleaning faster, safer, more efficient—and turn it into a viable business opportunity. Today, as we celebrate 15 years of the Custom Bin Wash from Morclean, it’s clear that this innovation has done far more than just clean bins—it has helped shape an entire industry.

From Practical Solution to Industry Standard

The Custom Bin Wash was designed with a clear purpose: to tackle a dirty, time-consuming job with smart engineering. From day one, it stood out as a fully self-contained, trailer-mounted cleaning system—giving operators the ability to clean bins efficiently without relying on external water sources.

With features like:

  • A powerful high-pressure washing system
  • An effortless bin lifting mechanism
  • A recycled water filtration process

the machine made it possible to clean bins in as little as 10–30 seconds while staying compliant with environmental guidelines.

What started as a practical solution quickly became the backbone of thousands of bin cleaning businesses across the UK and beyond.



Built to Last—and Built to Evolve

Durability has always been at the heart of the Custom Bin Wash. Constructed with heavy-duty galvanised steel chassis and robust components, these machines were engineered for long service life in demanding conditions.

But longevity alone isn’t what defines 15 years of success—continuous innovation does.

Over the years, Morclean has refined and expanded the Custom range, introducing:

  • Enhanced filtration systems to reduce bacteria and odours
  • Improved tank designs for greater stability and efficiency
  • New variants, including petrol, diesel, and battery-powered models

Milestones like the launch of the Custom 40—developed to celebrate 40 years of Morclean—demonstrate how the original concept continues to evolve with smarter technology, such as advanced water re-filtration systems that improve hygiene during operation.

Empowering Businesses Worldwide

Perhaps the most remarkable impact of the Custom Bin Wash isn’t just technical—it’s economic.

The machine has enabled entrepreneurs to:

  • Launch low-cost start-up businesses
  • Generate consistent, recurring income
  • Expand into complementary services like driveway and patio cleaning

With low daily running costs (around £1.50 per day) and the ability to clean hundreds of bins efficiently, it has become a gateway into a profitable and scalable service industry.

In short, the Custom Bin Wash didn’t just solve a problem—it created opportunity.



Supporting Cleaner, Healthier Communities

Clean bins aren’t just about appearance—they’re about hygiene, public health, and quality of life.

By making regular bin cleaning accessible and efficient, the Custom Bin Wash has helped:

  • Reduce unpleasant odours and bacteria
  • Improve sanitation in residential and commercial areas
  • Support environmental compliance through water recycling systems

This commitment to sustainability—particularly the closed-loop water filtration system—remains a cornerstone of the machine’s design philosophy.


Looking Ahead: The Next Chapter

As the industry continues to evolve, so too does the Custom Bin Wash. With growing emphasis on:

  • Lower emissions
  • Greater automation
  • Enhanced efficiency

Morclean continues to innovate, ensuring the next generation of machines meets the needs of modern operators and environmentally conscious communities.

A Milestone Worth Celebrating

Fifteen years on, the Custom Bin Wash stands as a testament to what happens when smart engineering meets real-world need. It has:

  • Transformed a messy chore into a streamlined service
  • Enabled thousands of businesses
  • Raised standards for cleanliness and sustainability

Here’s to 15 years of innovation—and to many more ahead.

Happy anniversary to the Custom Bin Wash!
