Trash Can Cleaning in Hopkins, Minnesota

Hopkins trash can cleaning works a little differently than in most Twin Cities suburbs. The City of Hopkins runs its own weekly garbage collection instead of contracting it out to a private hauler, so your pickup day is set by your address, not by whichever company you sign up with. MetroWash works around that fixed schedule, cleaning your cans curbside the day after your regular pickup, so they go from grimy to spotless without you lifting a finger.

Garbage & Recycling Pickup Schedule for Hopkins

Because Hopkins handles collection directly rather than through an open hauler system, your pickup day is fixed by the City based on your address. MetroWash cleans the day after your scheduled garbage and recycling service. Just leave your bins on the curb and we will clean, sanitize, and place them back smelling fresh.

Hopkins Garbage Pickup Schedule

Recycling in Hopkins runs on a bi-weekly cycle managed by the City. In most cases, we schedule your cleaning to match that recycling pickup.

What Your Hopkins Neighbors Think About MetroWash

Hopkins garbage bin after cleaning

We hired MetroWash Can Cleaners in 2022 to clean our numerous garbage cans each month at our home and cabin. They have a fast, easy, and very effective process to make your garbage cans look brand new on the inside and outside…for a reasonable fee! The cans even smell refreshing after they are done! I strongly recommend it if you are sick of the smell and nastiness of a much used can. Give them a call! JC

The MetrowAsh Difference

Why Hopkins Homeowners Trust the Trash Can Cleaning Pros

Hopkins is one of the most walkable, close-knit cities in the west metro, and that means tighter lots, shared driveways, and cans that often sit close to a neighbor’s garage or alley. A garden hose and some elbow grease do not cut it in those tight spaces. Our founder spent 25 years cleaning cans by hand before building the equipment we use today, and that experience shows every time our truck navigates Hopkins’ compact blocks without missing a house. Every July, when Mainstreet fills up for the Raspberry Festival and trash volume spikes downtown, we make sure our regular Hopkins customers stay on schedule.

  • Built for Tight Lots: Hopkins’ compact blocks, shared driveways, and alley placements are no problem for our equipment or our technicians

  • Festival-Ready Scheduling: We plan around Raspberry Festival week so your regular cleaning never gets missed during Hopkins’ busiest week

  • Eliminate Harmful Bacteria: Professional cleaning removes dangerous pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella

  • Odor Control: Thorough cleaning and deodorizing leaves your bins smelling fresh, not just rinsed

  • Pest Prevention: Regular cleanings deter flies, rodents, and raccoons by removing the residues that attract them

  • Environmentally Responsible: Our self-contained water system disposes of wastewater properly, protecting Minnehaha Creek and the rest of Minnesota’s water

  • Professional Results: Your cans will be cleaned, fully disinfected and deodorized

  • Flexible Options: Monthly, quarterly, or yearly plans built around your household’s needs

Our Process

How does it all work?

We keep it simple. The night before your cleaning, we text or email a reminder to set your cans on the curb. Our technicians rinse the outside by hand, then use our truck’s hydraulic lift and 360-degree hot water jets to sanitize every interior surface. We finish with an odor-neutralizing mist and send a confirmation once your cans are back in place.
