What is actually growing inside your garbage can.
The photo on this page is real. A bin that has never been cleaned builds up a layer of rotted food residue, liquid, and mold on the inside walls and floor, the kind that turns green and starts to smell in the summer heat.
We lift each can, pressure wash the inside and outside with hot water, and sanitize it so the odor and bacteria are knocked down, not just rinsed around. Your can comes back looking and smelling like new, and the flies and smell in your garage go with it.
Great as a one-time refresh, or on a recurring schedule so your cans get cleaned every month or every quarter without you thinking about it.

How curbside can cleaning works
The point is not a rinsed-looking can. It is knocking down the bacteria and the odor source that lives in the residue at the bottom.
Leave the cans out on your collection day
We come after the truck, so the cans are empty. Nothing is required from you beyond leaving them at the curb.
High-temperature wash inside and out
Hot water is what actually breaks down the film that holds the odor. Cold water moves it around.
Sanitize and deodorize
After the wash the can is treated so the bacteria load is knocked down rather than just diluted, which is the difference between a can that smells clean today and one that smells clean in a week.
Return the cans and take the waste water
Cans go back where they were. The waste water leaves with us rather than running down your gutter and into the storm drain.
What is living in an uncleaned bin
Rotting organic residue
The sludge at the bottom is the actual odor source. Rinsing the walls does nothing about it.
Bacteria load
Warm, wet, organic, and enclosed is close to ideal growing conditions. This is the reason to use hot water and a sanitizer rather than a hose.
Maggots and fly breeding
Summer bins become a breeding site within days. Cleaning breaks the cycle.
Odor in the garage
People who keep bins in the garage notice this more than anyone, because the smell has nowhere to go.
Wasps and pests
Sweet residue draws wasps to the lid and rim, right where you have to put your hand.
Stains and grime on the exterior
The part the neighbors see: road film and spillage down the outside of the can.
Raccoon and animal attraction
Odor is what brings animals to the bin in the first place, which is how lids end up broken.
