How often should I have my garbage bins cleaned?

Most homeowners choose monthly cleaning to keep their garbage, recycling, and green bins free from odours, bacteria, grime, and insects. Homes with pets, young children, or heavy organic waste may benefit from more frequent service.

No. Simply leave your empty bins at the curb after your scheduled collection day. Our technician will clean and sanitize them, and you’ll return to fresh, clean bins without needing to be home.

Please ensure your bins have been emptied by your municipal collection service and are easily accessible. We also require access to a standard outdoor water tap and a regular household electrical outlet to operate our professional cleaning equipment. We’ll contact you prior to your appointment to confirm everything is ready.

We clean:

  • Garbage bins
  • Recycling bins
  • Green compost bins

 

Whether you have one bin or all three, we’ll leave them clean, sanitized, and fresh.

Most residential appointments take only 30-60 minutes, depending on the number of bins being cleaned.

Garbage bins naturally accumulate bacteria, grime, food residue, and unpleasant odours over time. Professional cleaning helps eliminate these issues, discourages insects, improves hygiene, and keeps one of the dirtiest areas around your home clean and fresh.
