Stop gagging every time you lift the lid
Trash Can & Bin Cleaning
High pressure hot water wash inside and out, then deodorized. Kills the smell at the source instead of covering it, and takes the maggots with it.
The straight version
Here Is What Is Actually Going On
Your trash can never gets cleaned. It sits in the sun with whatever leaked out of the bags at the bottom of it, and by August it has its own weather. That smell that hits you from six feet away is bacteria colonizing the residue baked into the plastic, and rinsing it with a garden hose moves it around rather than removing it.
We wash bins with high pressure hot water, which is the part a hose cannot do, then treat the inside so it is deodorized rather than just wet. It takes a few minutes per can and it is the cheapest thing on this whole list. Most people book it alongside a driveway cleaning and wonder why they waited.

Trash Can Cleaning FAQ
Trash Can Cleaning Questions
The specific things people ask about this service. Anything else, just call. We do not mind explaining.
Do you take the dirty water with you?
Yes. Everything is captured and hauled off. Nothing gets rinsed into the gutter or down the storm drain, which matters both legally and for the neighbors downhill from you.
When should the cans be out?
Cleaning day works best right after your normal pickup, when the cans are empty. Tell us your trash day on the quote form and we will schedule around it.
Can I get this done regularly?
Yes, and this is the one service where recurring genuinely makes sense. Monthly or quarterly keeps it from ever getting back to bad, and a recurring schedule costs less per visit than one off cleanings.
Do you do dumpsters for businesses?
Dumpster pads yes, and those are a common request from restaurants and retail. The dumpster itself depends on size and access, so tell us what you have and we will let you know.
While We're Out There
Adding another service to the same visit costs less than booking it separately. Most of the cost of a job is getting the truck and the gear on site.
