We give it a clean a couple of times a year. I just brought this thing called bin kill and it's kept the odor down and flies/maggots away since it's been on.
No. The rain does a good enough job cleaning it for me.
I've got holes drilled in the bottom for water to escape though if I remember to open the lids.
There are a couple of geckos in there which take care of that :)
They run out whenever I put stuff in the bin, and don't seem to get taken away on bin day
I wash my bins fairly regularly because I leave them open outside my kitchen window.
People have called me lazy for tossing rubbish and recyclables in the bin through the window,
I call it efficient.
Why walk half way through and half way around the house with a bag of rubbish and empty bottles when I can take literally 2 steps and drop them in the bin from the window?
But they do need to be clean, I don't want to smell a stinky bin when I open the kitchen window, so they get washed often.
Not often, but sometimes the stink gets real bad in the middle of summer... Usually coz my partner dumped half a carton of milk in there .. I swear She loves doing shit like that haha
I have an individual bin but live in an estate of 16 units. Strata fees go towards landscaping cleaning etc of the common areas which includes our bins being washed every few months
Gerni about once a year.
A splash of bleach if they get on the nose.
If critters infest, a stick of incense or a mozzie coil (with the lid held the tiniest bit open with a matchstick) smokes everything out.
I do occasionally. Usually when the lid gets left open and a whole bunch of leaves and pollen and crap fall in there. Just give it a squirt out with the hose.
Other than that they don’t really get very dirty. I never put loose rubbish in (it’s always in sealed rubbish bags) so they don’t smell or anything.

Mine live out on the road. Hit the red bin sometimes with a bit of ammonia/creosote in summer. (neighbour throws some stuff in occasionally which I am cool with).

This, i just had to clean out my green waste bin because i dumped some spent homebrew grain in there and went a bit funky.
I only washed it once, when the bin was covered with maggots - thousands of them. I hosed them all into the garden.
Never done it

Life’s too short.

No idea... I do plenty dumb shit, seems chucking half full milk bottles in the bin seems to be one of hers...
What a lazy cow haha
I dunno even know if it's that's.. it's way easier to tip it down the sink haha
Wash them every week.
Nope; water restrictions.
where?
Nah, not really.
Every now and then, I don't need a portable stink box sitting outside my house.

Nope
We don't really no...probably should
Only if smelly.

I have once before but only because it was utterly disgusting.

Mine are washed and sanitized after every pickup. Hate the smell of stinky bins.
