What began with a bucket, a brush, and a mop has blossomed into a thriving enterprise thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of 13-year-old Harrison Hallams. At the tender age of 11, Harrison embarked on a mission to raise funds for a new mountain bike. This gung-ho spirit ultimately led to the creation of his bin concierge business. 

Now, two years later, alongside his father, Lloyd Hallam, the father and son team clean bins from Jamberoo to Shellharbour, and have transformed one of the most mundane of chores for any householder into a flourishing business venture for themselves.

Cleaning bins is a task that many would baulk at, with its unpleasant encounters with maggots and sickly odours. 

When asked about the most challenging aspect of the job, Harrison didn't hesitate to point out, "the smell… Especially in summer!"

Despite the challenges, Harrison and Lloyd dedicate two hours every day after Harrison finishes school to clean bins, the duo often tackling five bins daily. Balancing extracurricular activities and school pick-ups, Lloyd emphasises the importance of making the time for their growing business. 

Although they started with just a bucket and brush, their dedication and success led them to invest in a trailer attachment for their car, equipped with specialised bin cleaning equipment. This upgrade not only streamlined their operations but also increased the number of customers they could serve effectively. 

What initially began as a means to acquire a mountain bike quickly evolved. Such is the success of their business that they've had to enlist the help of another worker to manage the workload from Tullimbar to Shellharbour.

For those tired of dealing with smelly bins, Harrison and Lloyd offer a solution worth considering. By supporting these local superstars, not only are you ensuring a fresh and clean environment, but you're also championing the entrepreneurial spirit of a young innovator and his dedicated father.
