An Alabama summer does something to a trash can. Whatever leaked out of the bag in June is baked to the bottom by July, the flies have found it, and the lid you used to lift with your hand you now lift with two fingers. Hosing it out in the driveway sends the mess into the storm drain and the smell to the neighbour.
Cleaning it properly means hot water and pressure on the inside, the outside and the lid, a sanitiser, and a deodoriser, at your house, with the dirty water captured instead of run into the street. On a plan it happens every month and the can never gets a chance to turn.
How it is done. Each can is washed inside and out with hot, pressurised water, then the lid, the handles and the wheels. A sanitiser goes on to kill what the wash did not lift, and a deodoriser finishes it. The wash water is captured, not sent down the storm drain. Cans get done at the curb on or after pickup day so they are empty.

Do not hose it out in the driveway
Rinsing a can into the street sends the bacteria into the storm drain and the smell to whoever lives downhill. Hot water, a sanitiser and captured wash water is the job. A garden hose is a rinse.
Real jobs, shot the day of.
How the visit goes
Cans at the curb
Leave them out on pickup day. We come after the truck has emptied them, so there is nothing to work around.
Hot wash, inside and out
Hot pressurised water lifts what is stuck to the bottom and the walls, then the lid, the rim and the handles.
Sanitise and deodorise
A sanitiser kills the bacteria the wash loosened. A deodoriser handles the smell, rather than covering it.
Back where they belong
Cans go back where you keep them, clean, dry enough, and smelling like nothing.
Trash bin cleaning is 10 to 20% off on the plan
The plan is the monthly upkeep most people never get round to: web sweep, wasp removal, trash bin cleaning, gutter inspection, light perimeter debris cleanup, from $59 a month with the same person every visit. Being on it takes 10 to 20% off trash bin cleaning and anything else you book, and the higher tiers fold the seasonal work in. See the three tiers →

What we know about trash bin cleaning here.
Why it turns so fast in summer
A closed can in the sun is an oven. Anything that leaked from a bag ferments, the smell draws flies, the flies lay, and by the second week there is a colony in the bottom. A monthly hot wash resets it to zero before the cycle gets going.
The can as part of the exterior
It sounds like a small thing next to gutters and glass, but the can is the part of the outside of your house you touch every day. On the maintenance plan it gets done on the same visit, so the whole outside is handled by one person on one day.
Trash bin cleaning questions, answered.
The things Florence homeowners ask about trash bin cleaning before the first visit. If yours is not here, call or text and the owner picks up.
01How does trash bin cleaning work?
Leave the cans at the curb on pickup day. After the truck empties them, we wash them inside and out with hot water, sanitise, deodorise, and put them back. On the plan it happens every month.
02Where does the dirty water go?
It is captured, not sent into the storm drain. That is the difference between a bin cleaning and a hose in the driveway.
03Do you do recycling and yard-waste cans too?
Yes. Any curbside can. Tell us how many when you ask for the quote at 256-415-7878.
04Will it get rid of the maggots?
Yes. Hot water and a sanitiser deal with what is there, and a monthly wash means there is nothing for the flies to come back to.
