Why You Should Clean Your Curbside Trash, Recycling, & Compost Bins

Apr 24, 2023 | News

Greetings, fellow trash generators! Do you love your curbside trash bins? Of course you do! They’re like the garbage version of a TARDIS – small on the outside, but capable of holding a mountain of junk. But let’s face it, these things can get pretty raunchy. That’s why we’re here to talk about why cleaning those bad boys is crucial and why you should leave it to the professionals.

Prevents the Rise of Trash Demons

Picture this – it’s the dead of night, and you’re awoken by a rustling sound outside. You peek through the window to see your trash bins levitating in the air, possessed by some sort of garbage demon. Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea. Dirty trash bins can attract all sorts of critters, like rats, mice, and even raccoons. According to the National Pest Management Association, “Garbage is the number one attractant for rodents, and they can carry diseases and parasites that can be harmful to humans.” Yikes! So, let our professionals clean those cans and keep the trash demons at bay.

Prevents the Spread of Zombie Plagues

Trash bins are like a buffet for bacteria. They’re warm, moist, and chock-full of delicious garbage. In fact, a study by the University of Arizona found that “the average trash bin harbors more germs than the average toilet seat.” Gross! But these germs don’t just sit around and play nice. They multiply and spread like a zombie apocalypse. Before you know it, you’re barfing up a lung and wishing you’d just called in the pros. So, let our team handle the zombie plagues and get those bins spick and span.

Prolongs the Life of Trash Bins

Listen, we know that trash bins aren’t exactly the sexiest things on the block. But that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve a little love. When you let garbage sit in the bottom of the bin, it can start to eat away at the surface. It’s like a slow-motion acid bath. But with our professional cleanings, you can make those bins last longer than a Twinkie in a zombie apocalypse. (See what we did there?) So, let our experts take care of it and save you time and money in the long run.

Maintains the Goodwill of Neighbors

Nobody wants to be the person with the smelly, gross trash bin on the street. That’s like wearing a shirt with a big ol’ mustard stain to a job interview. It’s just not a good look. But with our professional cleaning services, you can earn the goodwill of your neighbors without lifting a finger. They’ll be like, “Wow, this person really cares about the cleanliness of their trash bins. They’re a hero!” And you’ll be like, “I know, right? I hired the best in the business.”
