Q: Do you use recycled water?

A: No, The risk of cross contamination is too great. Used bin cleaning water is considered regulated waste and needs to be disposed of correctly.  We clean bins at hospitals, child care centres, aged care facilities, food processing plants, cafes and kitchens where the purest water is required for cleaning. We use clean drinkable tap water and DO NOT try to filter and recycle someone else’s dirty smelly bin water to wash your bin.
