The frequency of cleaning your cans depends on factors like storage location, waste type, and usage. For cans stored in garages or used frequently, cleaning them monthly helps maintain a healthier environment, especially around your family. Cans that stay outside may only need quarterly cleanings, though hotter, more humid months may require more frequent attention due to increased bacteria growth and pests. Ideally, aim for at least one cleaning per month.

Yes, you can, but it’s often not the most effective or enjoyable task. Manual cleaning with a hose, brush, and soap may not fully remove bacteria, pests, and grime, especially in hard-to-reach crevices. Professional cleaning ensures every inch of your can is sanitized with eco-friendly, steam-powered cleaning, saving you time and effort to focus on what matters most—whether that’s relaxing, spending time with family or tackling other important tasks.

If you’re out of town or unable to get your cans to the curb, the easiest solution is to ask a neighbor or family member for help. If that’s not an option, please give us as much notice as possible so we can reschedule your cleaning.

With inconsistent pickup schedules, cleaning on the same day wouldn’t be practical. By servicing your can the day after pickup, we can almost always guarantee it will be empty and ready for a thorough cleaning. Plus, we’ll send you a reminder in advance, so you know exactly when to expect us!

While buying new cans might seem like a quick fix, within a week or two, they’ll likely be filled with bacteria, pests, and odors again. If your current cans are in good condition, there’s no need to spend money on new ones or contribute to unnecessary waste by discarding perfectly usable cans. However, if your cans are cracked, broken, or on their last legs, you can take advantage of our discounted, high-quality new cans. This offer is available to both existing customers and those who want to start our service to maintain their new garbage cans.
