Our New

Business Venture

Deluxe Wheelie Wash was established in May 2016, and we are proud of the professional service we provide in the Mackay Region, Walkerston, Bakers Creek, McEwan’s Beach, Sarina and Balnagowan.

2020 brought with it lots of challenges for everyone, so to stay affordable to all our clients we continued our service for the same pricing that we have had for the last 4 years. Travelling further and requiring more water we set about building a Customised New Isuzu Truck to add to the fleet. Might I add, this was all carried out using Local Business’s. We purchased the Isuzu truck locally through Crokers Truck Centre, excellent service and follow up. We were kept up to date with each step in the process. Bryan Industries engineered and fabricated the canopy and specially designed bin cleaning unit for us- they had never built a unit such as this before, and we are grateful for their attention to detail and listening to our needs. Custom Water Blasters then manufactured and customized a system that makes our job flow smoothly and more efficiently so we can achieve the high standard of water pressure cleaning that we deliver to our customers. Also, a big thank you to Custom Signs & Safety for our amazing signage. We are sure people will notice us driving around.

Lending a hand

In November I was asked to be the guest speaker for a women’s event “In The Bag”. It was such an honor to meet and speak with these Women and at the same time we provided essential items in a bag for Women in Need. And as all my November photos of Chris for the past 19 years clearly show the hairy top lip – and both our work vehicles proudly have a Moustache – you can see MOvember is a very important cause that we support. Chris continues to raise awareness for Men’s Health and our vehicles are a good reminder, and they look very distinguished.

Not only are we Mackay’s premier bin cleaners living by our mantra “Not just clean – Wheelie Clean” but we believe that convenience is important to our growing client base, here’s a few examples of how we deliver convenience.

1. Convenient cleaning schedule. The last thing you want to do when you get home from work is get out the cleaning products, brushes, Pressure cleaner etc and start cleaning your bins, right! We arrive on your scheduled recycle collection day, clean and sanitise your bins and place them back up near your home when completed, so you come home to clean fresh bins.
2. Convenient Booking. Easy on line or phone booking, where you choose a one off clean or a scheduled clean on a frequency that suits your needs. You also get to choose the number of bins you want cleaned. More frequent, More bins = More savings.
3. Convenient cancellation or hold options. So, you’ve booked an overseas holiday, no problem just let us know and we can place your scheduled clean and subscription on hold till you get back. Or you’ve just expanded your business to Brisbane and need to move, no worries we can immediately cancel. Very Convenient when you only pay for the services you receive.
4. Convenient payment. We provide our clients with a range of payment options to ensure they are comfortable with the payment process and so that its convenient and secure.

Payment options offered by DWW
Why do we offer so many payment options? Well our client base differs considerably with young millennials wanting a simple online booking and payment system so that they can get on with their lives, to elderly people preferring to phone through a booking and pay with cash.
The majority of our customers, both residential and commercial, opt for regular scheduled bin cleaning on a fortnightly or monthly basis and we wanted to offer an option where you pay as you use the service without the need to pay in advance.

Subscription service (Credit Card) – Book online or over the phone, you pay as you go, no need to pay for 6 or 12 months in advance, you are simply set up against a secure subscription that automatically charges your credit card on the same frequency as your cleaning schedule. The payment is usually deducted on the day prior to your scheduled bin clean day.
All transactions are SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protected. Your information is securely transmitted during the processing of all payments using encryption. We also use Stripe as our payment gateway which is a PCI Service Provider Level 1 being the highest grade of payment processing security. You can rest assured that your information is safe and secure.
Advantages – Autopilot simplicity of a subscription, no need to reorder every month, no need to be home or leave money in the letterbox, no fixed term or lock in contract, can pause or cancel subscription at any time, very secure.

Pay On Invoice (Bank Transfer or Credit Card) – Book over the phone, no need to pay for 6 or 12 months in advance, we simply send you a monthly invoice via email for services rendered and you have the option to click and pay with credit card or use bank transfer to pay funds directly to our bank account.
Advantages – No need to reorder every month, no need to be home or leave money in the letterbox, no fixed term or lock in contract, can pause or cancel at any time, very secure.

Cash – Easy booking over the phone, we simply arrange the best and safest way to collect cash from the client. Some clients prefer to pay for services in advance with this method and work down the credit, rather than having to pay at every visit.
While this is not as secure as the previous options some clients still prefer the folding stuff. There is a requirement to either be home or leave the money in a prearranged place
Advantages – No need to reorder every month, no fixed term or lock in contract, can pause or cancel at any time.

This will be my 15^th year growing the MO in the name of men’s health, and certainly something I am proud to be a part of, mostly because I know where the funds go and Movember has a way of getting men to talk to each other.

This year I have decided to enlist a bit of help by starting a team ‘Deluxe Motivators’ and have already got some family and friends interested, so please feel free to jump on board and help us out.

Help us stop men dying too young. Join the movement.

Along with the support I hope to gain from people wanting to get behind this great cause and make a tax deductible donation, Deluxe Wheelie Wash will donate $5 for every new client that signs up for a bin cleaning service from now till the end of November. So if you have friends or rellies that have stinky bins, now is a great time to refer them to DWW for a bin clean because they will have fresh bins and also be supporting men’s health at the same time.

As you will notice from last years photo on the right, I need all the support I can get with the Wheelie Wash MObil running a better look than me.

Movember is taking action.

From humble beginnings in Australia in 2003, the Movember movement has grown to be a truly global one, inspiring support from over 5 million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas around the world.

Movember’s success can largely be attributed to the strength of the global community. Regardless of the city in which we live, we’re part of something bigger, united by a commitment to help change the face of men’s health.

We’re the only charity tackling men’s health on a global scale, year round. We’re addressing some of the biggest health issues faced by men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention.

We know what works for men, and how to find and fund the most innovative research to have both a global and local impact. We’re independent of government funding, so we can challenge the status quo and invest quicker in what works. In 13 years we’ve funded more than 1,200 men’s health projects around the world.

By 2030 we’ll reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25%.

Your bins can be a haven for all sorts of nasties including flies, maggots, insects, bacteria and bad smells especially up here in the tropics but with these tips and some cooperation from the whole family, you can keep them clean and smelling sweet.

Maggots

Most people don’t like the thought of maggots in their bins and who could blame them…. however maggots don’t really present much of a health risk at this stage but once they complete their cycle and transform into flies is when the problems start as they take to the sky spreading bacteria everywhere, which is definitely a health risk.

Maggots result from the presence of flies which are attracted to odours and lay their eggs in moist or decomposing material. They are especially attracted to materials with high protein content such as meat and fish.  Maggots only exist if flies have been allowed to have access to a food source and lay their eggs, do not leave food waste exposed in the kitchen where it could attract flies. Maggots can appear within 8-12 hours of eggs being laid so the best method of control is to stop them breeding by limiting their access.

A fly is more likely to lay eggs in your waste BEFORE it is placed in the bin. Therefore, it is important to keep your waste covered and place it in the bin as soon as possible.

In the kitchen

• Do not leave food waste exposed where it could attract flies.
• Sort and separate food waste, recyclables and general waste at the source.
• Rinse all food packaging (recyclable and non-recyclable) before putting it in the yellow and red bins. Rinsing yoghurt pots, meat trays and other packaging will help reduce smells.
• Wrap scraps and unwanted pet food in paper prior to bagging and placing in waste bin.
• Remove excess air and securely tie bags before placing in waste bin.
• Bag and place left-over meat, prawn shells and similar food scraps in the freezer until collection day.
• Keep your kitchen food waste bin out of direct sunlight, preferably in a cupboard.
• Keep the lids on all your bins tightly closed.
• Empty your kitchen food waste bin frequently.
• Wipe up spills inside your kitchen bin and wash or disinfect regularly both inside and out.
• Keep all food covered and put scraps in the kitchen food waste bin straight away.
• Keep food preparation areas clean and use a disinfectant.
• Dispose of liquid/sloppy food waste via the sink.
• Wash hands and work surfaces after contact with waste.

Outside Bins

• Keep your bin lids closed at all times. If your bin is broken, has cracks or splits call Mackay Regional Council on 1300 622 529 to lodge a customer request for repair or replacement.
• Store your outside bins in a well-ventilated, shady and convenient location. Keeping your bins out of direct sunlight will help slow general decomposition and reduce smells.
• Do not overfill your bins. By sorting your waste properly you could potentially reduce your red bin rubbish by more than half.
• Bag general rubbish, remove excess air and securely tie before putting in the red bin.
• Rinse recyclable food packaging, bottles and cans to remove any excess food residue and allow them to drain thoroughly before putting them in the recycling bin.
• Avoid placing grass clippings in with your general waste as this provides a warm and moist breeding environment which is perfect for all the nasty bacteria to thrive. Consider using a dedicated garden waste bin.
• Pet waste can be buried in your garden. If you decide to throw it away, double bag tie securely.
• Empty the contents of soiled nappies into the toilet before placing them in the bin.
• Wrap, bag/double bag nappies and sanitary items to reduce smells.
• Keep bins as dry as possible.
• Don’t place harmful substances such as chemicals, solvents, used engine oils, paints or other similar hazardous or damaging waste in your rubbish bin. They harm us, our equipment and the environment.
• If required, rinse your bins after collection with a mild detergent, vinegar and water solution to kill odours, bacteria and flies. Keep in mind water restrictions and the environment, avoid the use of strong detergents or bleach.
• Pay attention to tell-tale signs of vermin such as cockroaches or mice and take appropriate steps to ensure effective pest control in bin areas. Consider using Bin Bombs as an effective bin odour solution and pest control, see previous blog.
• Having your bins professionally cleaned on a regular basis provides the best way to keep them hygienically safe and free from harmful bacteria, especially if you choose Deluxe Wheelie Wash.

From leftover food to commercial waste, bins are a magnet for harmful bacteria and foul odours. If left for a period of time, they can soon become dangerous and extremely unpleasant.

Employing a professional to keep your bins clean is highly recommended, and Deluxe Wheelie Wash in Mackay are here to help.

Our team will arrive on the day you bin has been emptied to give it a thorough clean. Using professional equipment that is safe and conserves water, our technician will arrive in our branded vehicle ready to go to work on your bin.

The wheelie bin wash process

The process begins with a thorough jet wash both inside and out to remove excess dirt. We will then thorough scrub the insides of the in using our special disinfectant, ensuring all of those germs, harmful bacteria and bad odours are scrubbed away.

Next, we will crank up the pressure and blast your bin with another jet, this time unloading 3000psi of water pressure on to the bin. This ensures that the bin is thoroughly rinsed and flushed of any remaining water, dirt and debris. While it is attached to our vehicle being flushed, we will also jet wash the outside and underneath of the wheelie once again, removing any ground dirt from the exterior.

Before we finish off, we will mop the inside of the bin thoroughly. This ensures that your wheelie is as dry as possible, and that no dirt remains present.

The final step is to spray the entire bin with a eucalyptus-based sanitiser and deodoriser to leave your bin completely bacteria free and smelling great. We finish things off with a good wipe around the outside to leave things dry and shiny!

Thanks to the high-tech equipment and streamlined process that we use, our wheelie bin washing service is both safe and environmentally friendly. We conserve as much water as possible and waste none at all.

We ensure the most convenient service possible for our customers by washing the bin on the day of your schedule collection, meaning you don’t have to leave your bin empty or put it out more often than usual.

Our services are available to both domestic and commercial customers. We have a history of serving satisfied customers across Mackay, from residential customers with a single bin through to commercial premises and restaurants with larger or multiple bins.

If you’re interested in making your bins safer today by having a regular clean, then get in touch with us by telephone or email to discuss your requirements, or make a booking. Our service offers great value for money and we’re the go-to company for wheelie bin washing in Mackay.

If you’re already a Deluxe Wheelie Wash customer, you will be well aware of the advantages of having a regular bin wash. A frequent cleaning service is vital to keep your bin clean and safe for your family, or customers at your commercial property. The standard services that we carry out are always safe and clean, while we also use techniques that conserve water. Not to mention, our service is always convenient to you.

However, there can be times when you are between cleans and your bin develops those unpleasant odours. Insects and flies may be attracted as well, meaning your bin is in a sorry state again. It can be from something as innocent as leftovers from a barbecue stewing in the midday sun, but pretty soon you’re taking a wide berth around your wheelie or ditching it at the bottom of your yard.

The good news is; Bin Bombs may be the answer to your smelly bin issues!

Bin Bombs are manufactured by a family-run business right here in Australia. Produced in Western Australia, they are now distributed across the country due to their growing popularity, and that popularity is due in no small part to their effectiveness.

Using only natural ingredients, the Bin Bombs help give your bins a lasting fragrance to ensure that those unpleasant odours are a thing of the past. And that’s not all!

In addition to the odour-busting fragrance, the ingredients used in the Bin Bombs also act as a natural insect repellent, helping to drive away those pesky flies and midges even when your bins are full and the sun is beaming down.

The Bin Bomb products have been used both domestically and commercially for many years, with uses ranging from eradicating offensive odours from family pets to freshening up large bin stores in busy restaurants.

One of the main ingredients of Bin Bombs is citronella oil, and entirely safe and naturally occurring oil that has been used for many thousands of years. It’s perfectly safe, environmentally friendly and carries no risk to household pets. It’s also what helps give Bin Bombs its insect-fighting properties!
