What a spinner station actually costs to run versus a contractor lift

Contractor interior washes still invoice around $3.50–$8.00 a lift. An 800-bin fleet washed twice a month is 19,200 cycles a year. At $4.50 that is $86,400 before anyone drives. Hand-lancing at eight minutes and $28/hour is worse on labor even when the water is ‘free’.

The station’s real costs

WBW-001 complete is priced from $8,750 before freight. Running cost is one operator at about a minute a bin, 15–25 gallons a cycle, electricity for the Webtrol, and a spinner/hose spares kit. Water is not the saving. Labor and contractor invoices are.
