Questions before you start
Do I need a Clean Bin System account to take this course?
No. Every lesson shows the real screens from a sample business, so you can read it before you sign up. If you have an account, follow along in your own back office.
How long does it take to set up Clean Bin System?
Most businesses finish the required steps in an afternoon: your details, a zone, your prices and card payments. The texting number takes longest because carriers review it, usually a few days, so start it first.
Is this the same as the Learning center?
The Learning center inside the back office has a guide for every screen and every field. This course is the guided tour: what to set up and in what order, why each part matters, and pictures of each screen.
What does Clean Bin System cost?
Starter is $89 a month for 1 technician, Growth is $179 for up to 4 technicians, and Pro is $329 for any number of technicians. Every feature is on every plan, and you can try it free for 1 day.
Who wrote this course?
Taylor, who builds Clean Bin System. The screens are from Maple Street Bins, a sample business with made-up customers.
