About Binkil
Binkil is the UK’s fastest-growing subscription bin cleaning service, trusted by over 10,000 households. We’re on a mission to remind people that a beautifully-fragranced, deodorised and hygienic bin isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s a shared neighbourhood responsibility. Clean bins protect families, streets and communities — not just individual households.
Our fully electric vehicles are equipped with built-in cleaning technology that eliminates 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria using Zoflora®, leaving every bin beautifully fragrant and protected against insects and pests.
