It’s been an interesting read going through all the replies so I thought I might as well put my Pennies worth in. My customers are very relaxed when it comes to my cycle, they all know that I will turn up but the weather , especially where I live, north west of England, massively affects my work. I have 6 weeks of work for my son and myself and so of course when the weather is bad that stretches. I never get complaints about the time just sympathy for having to try and work with the conditions. You know your customers, will they be that upset if you extended the time between? It has been said a couple of times that you will need more work, you won’t, you just do your round and start again, if it takes 5 weeks to do all your work in a more relaxed fashion, then it takes 5 weeks, what’s the problem? We do have a structure to our work, we work 8 hours a day 5 days a week.
As to WFP I had an advantage, I fell off my ladder after 44 years of safe traditional cleaning, so my reason for the change was safety and nearly all my customers were on board with it. I use a self made trolley system with barrels, i find easy to use and convenient, I change a barrel in two minutes and off I go again . My advice to you is relax, to me you’re Over thinking it and talking yourself into issue that probably don’t exist or may not be as bad as you expect.
