My Two Cents Worth...

Introducing Kleen Bin - Thornton / Pinelands

What Kleen Bin Does For You
On your regular "rubbish days", our mobile unit comes to you to clean and sanitise your bins. You don't have to be there when we call, just leave the bin out where we can get to it. Kleen Bin deep cleans the inside of your bin using a jet spray, and scrubs the outside. Our cleaning system disinfects, sanitises and deodorises your bin, leaving it spotless and pleasant smelling.

Water-Wise, Eco-friendly
Complies With Local By-laws
Commercial and Domestic Services
Under new management from Jan 2010

Is your bin clean, hygienic and fresh smelling?
A refuse bin that is not regularly cleaned and disinfected is smelly, breeds bacteria and attracts flies, insects and rats..... so it's unpleasant to handle and a health risk to your family.
