There have been many studies regarding the growth and development of bad bacteria in the households, however a recent study in England looked at the amount of bacteria that grows in and around the bin area – wheelie bins are the most dangerous items in the home when it comes to the breeding of harmful bacteria and viruses. Above shows you the amount of bacteria which develops in a Wheelie Bin after only 2 weeks.
Soiled nappies; vegetables and fruit; fish bones and skin; meat bones; newspaper; out-of-date creme fraiche; mushrooms; coffee grounds and a chicken carcass.
If you were to come into contact with Wheelie Bins containing this much bacteria and not practice proper hygiene,
you would almost certainly become ill.
We think this may make you think twice about how often you clean your Wheelie Bin
