A few before and after pictures from a BIG commercial job we completed yesterday! 🧼💦

We were back at a very well-known shopping centre in West Suffolk, tackling a substantial number of commercial bins, including some seriously big ones! 🗑️💪

This is one of our returning customers who only requires our services once every 12 months on an ad hoc basis, so as you can imagine, there was plenty of work to get stuck into! 😂

With a large collection of bins of all shapes and sizes needing a thorough deep clean, it certainly kept us busy!

It’s always great to be invited back, especially by established commercial customers who continue to put their trust in us. 💙

Another big commercial job completed by Bin There Done That! 🙌

Have a good weekend all.

💰 NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE 💰

WHEN DOES IT ALL STOP? 💷📈

I’m all for people earning a decent wage. I genuinely am. People work hard, and they deserve to be paid fairly.

But here’s my question…

Does continually increasing the National Minimum Wage actually solve the cost-of-living crisis, or does it just keep adding fuel to the fire? 🔥

Let’s look at it from a business owner’s perspective.

Imagine a small, independent bakery employing five people.

If the National Minimum Wage increases by 50p an hour, that’s potentially another £5,000 a year in wages alone that the business needs to find.

Now imagine their supplier employs 20 people. That’s potentially another £20,000 a year.

Then think about the companies supplying those suppliers. The manufacturers, delivery drivers, HGV operators, warehouses and everyone else involved in getting a loaf of bread onto a shelf.

Every single one of those businesses is facing increased employment costs.

And where do you think those additional costs eventually end up?

With us. The consumers.

The bakery increases its prices. The supplier increases its prices. The transport company increases its prices. And before you know it, we’re all paying more for the same products and services.

Now take a major supermarket chain employing thousands of people.

A relatively small hourly increase suddenly becomes a substantial additional annual expense.

And let’s be realistic. Businesses can’t just absorb increasing costs indefinitely. Some will accept smaller profits, but many will have little choice but to increase prices, reduce costs elsewhere or rethink staffing.

And here’s something people often overlook…

Employing somebody doesn’t just cost their salary!

If I employ someone on £27,000 a year, once you factor in employer National Insurance, pension contributions, holiday cover and other employment-related expenses, the true cost can be considerably higher.

Now multiply that across 10, 20 or even 100 employees.

It’s a huge financial commitment.

And I’m saying this as somebody who runs a small business, employs people and understands the responsibility that comes with making sure everybody gets paid.

I’m not against wage increases. Far from it.

But I do question whether continually increasing wages, without addressing the underlying costs of running a business and everyday living, is really the long-term solution.

Because what good is an extra £50 or £100 in somebody’s monthly pay packet if their food shopping, energy bills, rent, council tax and everything else keeps increasing alongside it?

We’re stuck in what feels like a never-ending cycle.

Wages go up. Business costs go up. Prices go up. People need more money. Wages go up again.

At what point do we actually tackle the cost of living rather than constantly trying to chase it?

Small businesses are the backbone of this country, but there’s only so much pressure they can absorb.

I’m not an economist. I’m just a small business owner looking at the bigger picture and wondering where it all ends.

People deserve decent wages. Businesses deserve a fair chance to survive. And consumers deserve to be able to afford everyday essentials.

Surely we need a solution that works for all three?

Genuinely interested to hear people’s thoughts. 👇

My van wrap is a bit like me…

A little bit different, slightly cheeky and definitely not everyone’s cup of tea! 🙌

I do what I want! 🤷‍♂️

Couldn’t keep this one under wraps any longer!

Two sides, two cheeky slogans and one wheelie good-looking van!

Thanks as always Fusion Graphics 🤝

I’m feeling more upbeat, refreshed and refocused! 💪💙

I’ll be honest, I’ve felt pretty dejected over the last couple of weeks.

The rinse-and-repeat cycle of life had started to get on top of me.

Go to work, come home, do more work, clean up, go to sleep and repeat. 🔁

I think my body and mind were both telling me that I needed to stop for a second.

And that’s exactly what I did. Well, sort of! 😂

I’ve still been out cleaning bins, doing the school runs, cooking dinners, washing up, sorting bedtimes, dealing with admin and everything else that comes with running a business and raising a young family.

But mentally? I’ve just been surviving.

I’ve been on autopilot, going through the motions and getting through each day rather than actually enjoying it.

But I’m starting to feel like myself again.

I’m feeling more upbeat, refreshed and, most importantly, refocused on what I want to achieve.

I’m really looking forward to December, when I plan to sit down and start putting better systems and structures in place to make the next stage of growing the business simpler, smoother and more sustainable.

I’m always thinking two steps ahead. In business, I genuinely believe you have to innovate or evaporate! 😂

Next year, I’ll be looking at CRM systems, automated reminders, making more of our processes digital, improving efficiency and hopefully upgrading our fleet of vehicles.

Not necessarily about working harder, but finding ways to work smarter.

I’ve got big ambitions for this little business of ours, but I also want to build something that gives me more time to enjoy life outside of work.

I suppose the reason I’m sharing this is because you never really know what’s going on behind the scenes in someone else’s life.

Some people might look at me and think I’ve got it made. A growing business, a lovely family, a roof over our heads and plenty to be grateful for.

And believe me, I am grateful.

But that doesn’t mean life isn’t overwhelming sometimes. It doesn’t mean there aren’t financial pressures, worries, sacrifices or days when you question absolutely everything you’re doing.

We’re all human.

Whatever your situation, whatever pressures you’re facing, and however easy you think someone else’s life might look from the outside, remember that appearances don’t always tell the full story.

It’s okay to have a bad week, a bad month or to feel a little lost sometimes.

It doesn’t mean you’re failing. Sometimes you just need a little time to find your feet again.

I’m certainly not writing this for sympathy. I’m writing it because I’m finally feeling on top of the world again, and it’s reminded me that the difficult periods don’t last forever.

Here’s to finishing 2026 on a high and making 2027 a year of positive change, both personally and professionally. 💙

Onwards and upwards! 👊🗑️

Regardless of the agenda, the reasons behind it or who is involved in the riots in France, just imagine how those business owners must be feeling right now. 💔

Some are family-run businesses, getting by month after month. Some are barely breaking even. Others are new start-ups, built on years of hard work, sacrifice and determination.

And in a matter of minutes, people are destroying everything they’ve worked for. Their livelihoods, their income, their security and potentially their futures.

And for what?

As a small business owner myself, I know just how much blood, sweat and tears go into building something from nothing. The long hours, the financial pressures, the sacrifices your family makes and the constant worry of keeping everything afloat.

To see someone’s hard work destroyed in minutes is absolutely heartbreaking.

I can only hope we never see scenes like this in our own country.

I genuinely believe that when the next general election comes around, we as a nation need to think very carefully about the future we want. Not just for ourselves, but for our businesses, our families, our friends and the generations that follow us.

This isn’t about left or right, or telling anyone who they should vote for. It’s about recognising that something needs to change and that the decisions made today will shape the country we leave behind.

I’m no political expert, nor do I pretend to have all the answers. But I do know that hardworking people deserve to feel safe, supported and able to build a future without fear of losing everything they’ve worked for.

My thoughts are with all the innocent people, families and business owners affected by the riots in France. 🇫🇷❤️

Nobody deserves to see their livelihood destroyed like that.

📻 RADIO SILENCE… BUT WE’RE STILL HERE! 🗑️💚

Why have I been so quiet for so long?

I guess summer well and truly suffocated me, and I’m only just starting to catch my breath again. 😅

The last few months have been nothing short of chaotic. I’ve had more fires to fight than I care to remember, but thankfully, I think I’ve finally put them all out. 🔥

🚛 Trigger’s Broom is FINALLY back on the road after an extortionate amount of money being thrown at it.

🚐 My trusty old Volkswagen Caddy has practically saved my business over the last couple of weeks. That little thing deserves a medal for keeping us going when everything else seemed determined to break!

🛠️ The truck is sorted, the van is running beautifully, and for the first time in what feels like forever, we have a fully functioning fleet of vehicles and machines.

Now we’ve just got to keep everything running for the next 6–7 weeks before our well-earned December shutdown. Fingers crossed! 🤞😂

So, why else have we been quiet?

Because, quite simply, life has been happening.

Shannon has recently returned to work after having a year off with our babies. It’s been a fantastic year for her and the girls, and I’m so grateful she’s been able to have that time with them.

Our littlest is now off to the childminder, our eldest has started at a new preschool, and suddenly we’re all finding ourselves adjusting to completely new routines.

New childcare arrangements, new working patterns, new challenges and just generally trying to navigate our way through life as a young family.

And if I’m being completely open, some weeks it genuinely feels like we’re just surviving Monday to Friday and trying to make it through to the weekend.

I hope, in time, that changes.

But I also know that whether you’re a business owner, a parent, or simply someone trying to better themselves personally, professionally or financially, progress rarely comes without sacrifice.

We’re trying to build something that gives our family a better future, and sometimes that means the present can feel a little overwhelming.

I’m also very aware that I need to get better at finding that balance myself. Being more present, being more supportive at home and making sure that while I’m busy building a business, I’m not missing the things that matter most.

And then there’s the business itself… 🗑️

We’ve reached a point where we’re cleaning more bins than we’ve ever cleaned before, which is absolutely fantastic, but physically and mentally I’m struggling to keep up with everything that comes with it.

The admin list seems never-ending. Every time I tick something off, another three things appear. Between being out on the road, keeping vehicles running, managing staff, replying to customers, sorting accounts and trying to be a husband and dad, there simply aren’t enough hours in the day.

I’m incredibly grateful to be this busy, and I certainly wouldn’t change what we’ve built, but I won’t pretend running a small business is always sunshine and rainbows.

Sometimes it’s exhausting. Sometimes it’s stressful. And sometimes you wonder how on earth you’re going to get everything done.

But we’re still here, still pushing and still making plans for the future. 💪

Looking ahead to 2027… 📅

November will be a busy month behind the scenes as we prepare for next year.

We’ll be sending out our updated cleaning calendars, important customer information and a little something from us to say thank you for your continued support. 🎁

We’ve got some exciting plans for the business, and my biggest hope is that the changes we make next year will allow us to continue growing while also giving us a little more breathing space as a family.

I want to keep pushing forward professionally, but I also want to be better personally. A better husband, a better dad, a better employer and ultimately someone who can enjoy what we’ve worked so hard to build.

And finally, thank you. 💚

Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us, supported us, recommended us, been patient when things haven’t quite gone to plan and continued to trust us with their bins.

We’re a small family-run business, and behind the vans, the uniforms and the page are real people trying to juggle work, family, bills, children and everything else life throws at us.

Every customer genuinely makes a difference, not just to the business, but to the families that depend on it.

I might have been quiet on Facebook, but I can assure you we’ve been anything but quiet out on the roads!

Still here. Still grafting. Still trying to figure out how to fit 30 hours into a 24-hour day. 😂

Dear Diesel,

Please come down in price.

Feeling productive! 💪♻️

A little behind-the-scenes job we’ve been working on…

🗑️ 166 x 240L bins cleaned, sanitised and ready for distribution
🗑️ 13 x 1100L commercial bins cleaned and ready for distribution

That’s 179 bins given a new lease of life.

To put that into perspective, based on replacement costs of around £22 for a 240L bin and £130 for an 1100L bin:

166 × £22 = £3,652
13 × £130 = £1,690

💷 Total replacement value: £5,342

What surprised me most was the condition of them. In most cases, the actual bodies of the bins were in great condition — they simply needed a proper clean and, in some cases, small repairs such as replacement clips or lids.

It seems a shame to replace an entire bin when the main body still has plenty of life left in it.

By cleaning, sanitising and repairing where necessary, these bins can be put straight back into circulation rather than perfectly usable plastic going to waste. ♻️🌍

Reuse. Repair. Clean. Redistribute.

179 bins cleaned and ready to go again, with a replacement value of around £5,342.

Sometimes the most environmentally friendly option is simply making better use of what we’ve already got. 👌♻️

And finally, a genuine thank you to every single person who supports our little business. ❤️

Times are tough for a lot of businesses and households at the moment. Like many people, I know exactly what it’s like to live month to month, and I completely understand that having your wheelie bin professionally cleaned is a luxury, not a necessity.

That’s why I never take a single customer for granted.

Every regular clean, one-off job and commercial contract helps keep me and my staff in work and allows us to keep building this business.

And support doesn’t always have to be financial either. Every like, share, recommendation, review, tag in a local Facebook group or simply mentioning our name to a friend genuinely helps us more than you probably realise.

So whether you’ve been paying us to clean your bins for years, have used us once, recommended us to somebody or simply follow our page and support what we’re doing…

Thank you. It genuinely means a lot to us. ❤️

None of this happens without you.
