£10 for the window clean and they get a free wheelie bin clean?

Only have 2 at a tenner and the other 6 are £15 a month. They are all near each other so don't need to move the van, I could batter them out in an hour if I don't chat with the customers. If I decide to move in to the estate then I would need a carrot so i could pick up most of them. 178 houses even at a tenner is a nice monthly earner. I do the wheelie bins for free, take them out night before, clean and put back in the next day. Once the estate is complete and I have most of the customers then I could increase my price. I think that's how big businesses work, they give one a cheap subscription and then increase with at least inflation every year. 😉

You clean the bins on the same day as you clean the windows? What if you're behind on the windows or take a week off? Where does that leave the bins? How do you clean the bins? Where does the dirty water go?

This isn't adding up to me.

There’s thinking outside the box and then there’s being delusional!

The tories said they would scrap the petrol/diesel  ban due to come into force in 2030 if they got back into power.....let's hope they get back in....

Shame the site doesn't have a dislike button.

Ive got no desire to go electric at all and hopefully the next government will see sense and abolish it.

The whole green agenda is nonsense.

However, we’ve had a brand new Kia EV3 since August and its hands down the best car we’ve ever owned.

I’m a massive, and I mean massive, petrol head, but there is a place for EV’s.

For our type of work, and EV van is pretty much perfect, unless you’re doing loads of motorway miles.

Disclaimer - I absolutely despise the green agenda and owning and ev is purely based on what we wanted rather than ‘saving the planet’
