Some companies clean bins in the street, this is illegal and enforced by the Environment Agency (Freefone 0800 80 70 60) DETAILS HERE as you can pollute the ground watersystem, any operators working like this can be fined up to £20,000. Also Tuberculosis and Weils disease from rats are linked to refuse and waste material. Salmonella, E Coli and Listeria are just a few examples of health hazards that are stored in and around your bin. Diseases and illnesses like Toxicariases from pet faeces can cause eye disease. Would you like your child to come into contact with an area recently used to clean bins by sub standard operators? Also Newark and Sherwood council have a team to combat this,they can be contacted on Newark and Sherwood Environmental on (01636) 655577

The cleaning process starts with the bin placed into the back of the van,then any rubbish which has been left behind is then bagged up and then the cleaning starts.The bin is cleaned inside...

and out ....

all within a self contained unit so this means safe operation in residential areas.
And any rubbish is bagged so no waste is left behind, the water is stored on board and then disposed off under guidelines met by severn trent water, unlike many other operators.
