We pause service during the winter months because freezing weather can damage our high-pressure equipment and create slip hazards on walkways. Our spring restart is essential to clear away any dormant bacterial build-up that accumulated over the winter, ensuring your bins start the active season fresh and sanitized all summer long.

Trash bins often harbor harmful bacteria like Listeria, E. coli, and Salmonella from decaying food waste, pet waste, and diapers. Standard hoses simply cannot remove this stubborn, caked-on grime and grease. Our high-pressure 200-degree hot water system melts away the toughest sludge while completely eliminating these dangerous pathogens, keeping your home healthy.

Dirty trash bins are a surprisingly common entry point for bacteria, germs, and pests to spread toward your living spaces. As organic waste decomposes, it creates a perfect environment for pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria. These germs can then easily be transferred to your home through contact with the bin, by pests and rodents that are attracted to the waste, or even transferred by pets carrying microbes inside. That's why sanitizing with 200-degree high-pressure hot water is so vital—it eliminates these hazards before they can migrate indoors.NOTE: Studies, like those from the National Sanitation Foundation, have found hundreds of bacterial colonies per square inch in residential bins, highlighting how easily pathogens can multiply and spread into your home.
