“It’s your turn to write a blog.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Great. I’ll enjoy that.”<\/p>\n

“Make it\u00a0short, entertaining, exciting and informative.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“I’ll do my best. What am I writing about?”<\/p>\n

“Wheelie Bins.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“Wheelie Bins<\/a>?”<\/p>\n

Right.<\/p>\n

\"120L\u00a0\"120L\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"120L<\/p>\n

A\u00a0120 litre green wheelie bin<\/a>, a 120 litre grey wheelie bin<\/a> and a 120 litre blue wheelie bin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hmm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ll spare you the 240 litre green wheelie bin, 240 litre grey wheelie bin and yes a 240 litre blue wheelie bin<\/a>. Likewise the 660 litre 4 wheeled<\/a> behemoths too.<\/p>\n

OK, the subject could be more glamorous. There are definitely more exciting products in our portfolio.<\/p>\n

A wheelie bin<\/a> is a wheelie bin right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well no. Far from it<\/strong> in fact.<\/p>\n

If the wheelie bins ensconced in your garden\/yard\/behind your business were supplied by the council, chances are it’ll be one of the good ones.<\/p>\n

\"Cater-Clean\"\u00a0<\/strong>wheelie bins have met the rigorous EN840 European standard<\/strong> to which a wheelie bin must comply if your local council is going to entertain emptying it on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

This EN840 standard isn’t another example of those EU bureaucrats interfering with our\u00a0bananas<\/a> –<\/strong> this standard makes sense. Your wheelie bin is likely set for a hard life. Your wheelie bin must endure the worst of the British weather – rain, snow & sun (not so much) and the average Waste Management Facilitator \u00a0<\/em>is typically less than gentle when manoeuvring your heavily laden bins to and fro. Mine literally slingshots it back in the general direction of where it started and I’m confident that, to spice up the day, for each stop on the round there is a “personal best” distance. Like curling or bowls but without the accuracy requirement. They’ve also got to be strong enough and the right size and shape for the lifting gear on the bin trucks too.<\/p>\n

To make a long story a bit less long. Wheelie bins vary in quality and, as with most things – quality matters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The \"Cater-Clean\"<\/strong>\u00a0range of council (and EN840<\/strong>) approved wheelie bins are…<\/p>\n
