Curbside Trash Can Cleaning: Schedule It, Leave Your Cans Out, Done

Seriously Easy, and Seriously Clean

MetroWash’s curbside can cleaning is so easy you will wonder why you didn’t schedule it sooner. All you have to do is just book the cleaning and leave your cans out after their normally scheduled pickup date. We swing by the next day and get to work. Our specialized truck and cleaning pro will remove all the stubborn dirt and grime that makes your cans look and smell bad. We clean them inside and out, and spray them down with a disinfecting spray. You are left with can that is clean, smelling great, and free of pests and insects.

No hoses. No scrubbing. No standing in your driveway wondering why your garbage can smells like a dumpster fire in July.

Why Your Cans Get So Bad in the Summer

Heat is the problem. Once temperatures climb, whatever’s stuck to the bottom of your can starts cooking. Food scraps, grease, spilled soda, that mystery liquid nobody wants to identify. It all ferments in the heat and turns your bin into a slow-release odor machine parked ten feet from your front door.

The hotter the month, the worse it gets. By the time August rolls around, a lot of homeowners are opening their garage door and immediately regretting it.

Spring, Summer, and Fall: Prime Pest Season

Odor is annoying. Pests are worse. From spring through fall, dirty cans turn into a buffet for flies, gnats, and yes, maggots. Nobody wants to lift their trash can lid and find that. It’s gross, it’s avoidable, and it happens more often than people realize once a can hasn’t been cleaned in a while.

Regular curbside trash can cleaning breaks that cycle. No residue, no food film, no reason for pests to show up in the first place.

We’ve had MetroWash Trash Can Cleaners keeping our trash bins clean for over a year, and I highly recommend using them! Last month, something horrible spilled in our trash bin. It was all over the inside of the bin and smelled terrible. I checked our bins after MetroWash had cleaned them — all of the mess was gone and there wasn’t any hint of the foul smell. Yay! I used to try to clean out our trash bins myself. It was such a struggle: hard enough to spray them out but even harder to wash them with soap and get them completely rinsed. MetroWash is affordable, consistent, thorough, and lets me use my time for more important tasks. Thanks, MetroWash!

Better for Your Cans, Better for the Sewers

Most DIY can cleaning, or hiring someone without the right equipment, sends dirty water and chemical runoff straight into the storm drain. That water usually ends up in local waterways untreated.

MetroWash uses a self-contained wastewater system, so the grime, bacteria, and grease we clean off your cans never hits the street or the sewer system. It’s a small detail, but it means every cleaning we do is also one less load of chemicals and waste heading into the city’s water system. Clean cans without the environmental tradeoff.
