ENTERPRISING Adele Clarke has cleaned up with her £5,000 grant, giving her the boost she needed to set up her own wheelie bin cleaning business.
The mum-of-two from Doncaster, South Yorks, said: “It’s tough and dirty work but I can do it around the school run and provide for my family.
“I know to a lot of people it might seem like a rubbish job but it’s my little business and I’m proud of it.
“I may only work a few hours a day but for those hours I feel so much pride because I am doing it all by myself.”
Adele, 38, was making do with an old van that had done more than 200,000 miles and was constantly in need of repair.
It finally went kaput three weeks before the grant came through.
Adele said: “I’ve been able to buy a new van and a new power washer, so it’s been a massive help.
“I’m going to get some signs made up to put on the sides and I’ve bought some leaflets and I will start leafleting for the summer and really push on.”
