Private Home Wheelie Bin Collections: How to Save Money

With many people spending more time at home than ever before, lots of us are finding that our wheelie bins are filling up a lot quicker than before, with some even overflowing before their regular collection day. The good news is that you don’t have to wait until bin day as Clearabee’s private home wheelie bin collection service means that every day is bin day. These new, rapid-reaction, flexible and environmentally-friendly collections are available all across the UK. But are they also cost-effective?

During this blog series, we’ll give you some tips and tricks on how to make the most of our rubbish removal services, starting with our private bin collections and where you may be able to save yourselves some money.

If you’re ready to have your wheelie bins emptied by Clearabee, then book your private bin collection now or give Clearabee a buzz. Otherwise, let’s have a look at how you can save some money on your private wheelie bin service.

Local authority collections

If you’ve missed your bin collection for whatever reason, then your first port of call should be to contact your local authority. Each council differs, but if your collection has been missed due to a fault on their part, then they may be able to arrange a rescheduled collection. However, if you have too many bin bags to fit inside your wheelie bin then most councils will not accept these and will leave anything that is not stored in the bin. Infact, many councils won’t empty bins where the lid is unable to close.

This usually leaves users in a vicous cycle of sorts, where they struggle to get back in sync with the bin collection schedule and should take decisive action to break the cycle. Failing to do so will usually leave you with bin bags lying around your property and these can become an environmental hazard. In turn, this can encourage poor hygiene and attract all manner of pests including rats, foxes and pigeons.

Take a trip to the tip

Of course, you can always take your additional bin bags to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre yourself if you have the time available. However, we would recommend taking care with the loading and unloading of bin bags to make sure that your car doesn’t end up with bin juice being spilt leaving a long, lingering smell.

Most local Household Waste Recycling Centres will accept your domestic waste free of charge before disposing of it in a responsible way but you should be mindful of the restrictions that have been implemented since the outbreak of COVID-19. Make sure that you check online before making arrangements as most centres require proof of ID and have an online appointment booking system.

You should also consider if such a journey to the tip is essential and in line with current government guidelines as well as checking how often your centre allows you to visit as some restrict visits to once a fortnight.
