Cleaning and sterilising bins is essential to ensure that domestic, commercial and public bin storage areas do not become breeding grounds for diseases, insects and other vermin. Hygiene throughout the community, especially in public spaces, is becoming the expected standard. Consider the following health issues that are addressed by proper bin cleaning:
-
Substantial reduction in contamination risk and passing of communicable diseases. This is particularly the case in schools, hospitals, public and other places where large numbers of people gather. Does your school manage this risk to your children?.
-
The elimination of unpleasant and offensive odours. These odours are signs that bacteria are present. A clean and sterile bin should have no smell whatsoever.
-
The improvement of water catchments and freshwater systems.
-
Improved amenity of the area – a key issue already subject to legislative control by one progressive capital city council.
-
Reduced flies and mosquitoes.
-
Reduced maggots and bacteria.
-
Reduced risk of disease outbreak in a municipality.
-
Reduced risk of illness in food industry.
-
Reduced smell in public areas.
-
Increased popularity, liveability and visitations to commercial and public areas.
-
Passive education of the community on waste reduction and water savings.
