Residential bin cleaning
Your bins, bathed on bin day.
No more holding your breath at the kerb. The Bin Bath truck arrives hours after the council has emptied your bins, and leaves them washed, sanitised and lemon-fresh — north of the river to the south.
- Cleaned after collection
- No need to be home
- Bins returned on request
How bin day works
From the council truck to clean — same day.
You put the bins out like always. We take care of the rest, and you don't even need to be home.
- 1
Council collects
Your bins go out as normal and the council truck empties them.
- 2
We arrive
Hours later the Bin Bath truck pulls up and checks each bin is fully emptied.
- 3
Wash & sanitise
Lifted into the enclosed wash bay, pressure-cleaned and treated with a lemon-scented antibacterial.
- 4
Back, fresh
Returned to the kerb — or to their usual spot if you ask. Nothing left on your driveway.
Hose vs bath
Why not just hose it out?
You can. But here's what you're up against — and where the dirty water ends up.
- Water
- Hosing it yourself: Your tap, your water bill
- Bin Bath: Our own — over 1,000 L carried on the truck
- Pressure
- Hosing it yourself: Garden-hose trickle
- Bin Bath: Pumps rated to 3,000 psi
- Products
- Hosing it yourself: Whatever's under the sink
- Bin Bath: Biodegradable citrus-based sanitiser that kills 99.9% of bacteria
- Dirty water
- Hosing it yourself: Down the driveway into the street drain
- Bin Bath: Caught, filtered and taken away for licensed disposal
- Your time
- Hosing it yourself: Saturday morning, holding your breath
- Bin Bath: None — you don't even need to be home

FOGO-friendly rosters
Got FOGO? Time your cleans to your collections.
In most FOGO councils the lime-green bin goes out weekly, while red and yellow alternate fortnights. A 3- or 5-weekly roster lands on alternating weeks — so every bin takes its turn, always straight after it's emptied.

FAQ
Home bin questions, answered.
More answers on the FAQ page — or ask us directly.
Why have my bins professionally cleaned?
We make your bins look and smell great inside and out. Each bin is washed in a fully enclosed unit with biodegradable antibacterial detergents and deodorisers, combined with high-pressure water. We recycle our water through a filtration system and dispose of the used water and filtered solids under licence, as required by the WA Water Corporation.
When do you clean — before or after collection?
After. The truck arrives on your collection day, hours after the council has emptied your bins. We check each bin is fully emptied before it goes into the wash bay.
Does my recycling bin need cleaning?
It depends on what goes in it! It usually doesn't get as dirty as your general waste bin, but milk, soft drink, beer and wine spills are enough to start bacteria growing — not great in our climate. Insects love sugary residue too, so we recommend cleaning it at the same time as your general waste bin.
Do you use harsh or hazardous chemicals?
No. We only use non-hazardous, biodegradable, environmentally safe products: custom-formulated citrus-based cleaning, deodorising and sanitising products. Details are documented in Material Declaration Sheets for organisations that need them.
How often should I have my bins cleaned?
It depends how dirty they get. We recommend households start with a four-weekly service and adjust from there. If your council empties your bins on alternating fortnights, ask about our 3- or 5-weekly rosters — they're timed so each visit lands straight after a collection (see the planner). For businesses we recommend a fortnightly or four-weekly service; hospitality clients usually find weekly works best.
What is a FOGO bin?
FOGO stands for Food Organics Garden Organics — the lime-green-lid bin for food scraps and garden waste such as lawn clippings, small branches and kitchen scraps. Under WA's standard three-bin system the FOGO bin is collected every week, while the red-lid general waste and yellow-lid recycling bins are collected fortnightly on alternating weeks. Collection days and patterns vary by council, so check your council's bin calendar.
Which Perth councils have FOGO?
According to the WA Waste Authority's list (updated April 2026), FOGO collections run in Bassendean, Bayswater, Belmont, Cambridge, Cottesloe, East Fremantle, Fremantle, Kalamunda, Melville, Mosman Park, Mundaring, Nedlands, Peppermint Grove, Rockingham, Subiaco, Victoria Park, Vincent, parts of Swan and the City of Perth (single dwellings), with Joondalup and Wanneroo scheduled to follow. Some councils, such as Stirling and Kwinana, use a garden-organics (GO) bin instead, and others run a two-bin system. Our schedule planner shows how cleaning lines up with each pattern.
Do I need to be home?
No. Just leave your bins somewhere we can get to them. If you'd like us to put them back where they live afterwards, let us know and we'll do that with pleasure.
Bin day just got better.
Book once and forget about it — we'll be there after every collection on your roster.
