The hygiene concerns don’t end there as overflowing bins also attract pests like rats, mice, and flies, drawn to the food, warmth and shelter they offer. Bin strikes can also mean fly-tipping becomes commonplace, causing large pile-ups of waste and further potential hygiene risks.
With the arrival of spring retail and hospitality businesses will be hoping for increased customer footfall but poorly maintained bin areas can quickly present a significant reputational risk. Whilst customers are unlikely to be seated directly next to the waste disposal area of a pub or restaurant, unpleasant smells can easily travel, and rodent infestations or issues could be visible.
Rebecca Waters, Head of Marketing Rentokil Specialist Hygiene says: “With increased waste accumulation, bin areas can become unhygienic quickly, leading to bacteria and pest problems. Rentokil Specialist Hygiene’s teams are able to react quickly to collect large amounts of waste, and effectively disinfect areas, helping to eliminate foul odours and ensure areas return to being clean, safe environments.”
