Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Transfer hose/transfer solution
« Last post by Scottish Cleaning Service on December 13, 2025, 01:28:02 pm »
There's always old wheelie bins kicking about which are great for storing hose. I now rescue abandoned wheelie bins and take them home with me. Then I remove the wheels and cut them so they fit my storage shelf and cut out a few handles on them. Because they are square they fit together and take up all the space.

Wheelie bins are owned by the council where we live. Even if they are abandoned, they still belong to the council.
They are like shopping trolleys.

Up here we own the wheelie bins and have to pay £45 for a new one. My neighbour was telling me this who works for the council. If they owned them then they would need to replace bins for free when stolen and deal with the police on the theft report. That's the reason they don't want them back and are left abandoned when broken. I do some charity work and collect them which leads to an MBE so I'm told.

Just got back from a month off travelling around Australia visiting friends and family plus a couple of Ashes cricket matches. Its all systems go now until 23rd then I'll be off until 4th January. The joys of semi retirement.

Glad it's working for you Klean.

What's your schedule as a window cleaner now?

We ve got a skip getting delivered on the 29th so we ll be clearing out the garage (at last!)ready for a new roller door to be fitted in the new year.

I love Christmas (for a few days)but there is always that time between xmas and new year where it's good to be getting on with jobs around the house and/or sorting my van out ready for the new year,changing pre filters,etc,etc.🙂
