Trash Bin Cleaning
We wash, disinfect and deodorize your garbage cart in your driveway in about a minute — 200-degree water, 3,200 PSI, and not a drop of it left on your concrete.
(256) 221-0989You already know what the inside of your cart looks like. There is a layer at the bottom that has been there since spring, it draws flies the second you lift the lid, and hosing it out in the yard moves the mess around without actually removing it. In an Alabama summer that bin is a warm, wet, sealed box — which is why the smell comes back a day after you rinse it.
Our trailer carries its own water, its own diesel-fired heater and its own power, so we do not touch your spigot or your outlet. Two Italian-made spinning heads drop inside the cart and hit every wall, the lid and the underside of the rim with 200-degree water at 3,200 PSI. Heat is the part most people skip and it is the part that matters: hot water breaks down the grease film that cold water just slides over. A genuinely bad bin takes about a minute.
Every drop of that dirty water is captured in the trailer’s recovery tank and hauled off. Nothing runs into your grass, your driveway or the storm drain at the end of the street. We finish with a citrus treatment, so the bin goes back to the curb smelling like something other than a bin.
Most people start with a one-time clean to see it, then move to monthly once they do. Memberships run $19.99 per wash monthly, $29.99 bi-monthly and $39.99 quarterly, with extra carts at $5 each. There is no contract to sign and no cancellation fee — text us and we stop.

Frequently asked questions
How much does trash bin cleaning cost?
One bin is $19.99 per wash on a monthly plan, $29.99 bi-monthly, $39.99 quarterly, or $49.99 for a single on-demand cleaning with no plan. Every additional bin cleaned on the same visit is $5. What moves the price is frequency, not the state of your bin — we do not charge extra for a bad one.
Do I need to be home?
No. Just leave the cart at the curb on the day we come and we handle the rest. Most customers are at work when we show up and only find out we came because the bin no longer smells.
When should the bin be out?
We clean the day after your normal pickup, while the cart is empty. Leave it at the curb that morning and put it away whenever you get home.
Where does the dirty water go?
Into a recovery tank on the trailer, and then to a proper disposal point. It does not go on your driveway, into your yard, or down the storm drain — that last one matters, because in most Alabama municipalities washing that residue into a storm drain is not legal.
Do you use chemicals that will hurt my grass or my dog?
The cleaning itself is heat and pressure, not harsh chemicals — that is the whole reason for the diesel heater. The finishing treatment is a citrus deodorizer. Since we recover the water anyway, nothing ends up on the lawn where a pet would find it.
Can you clean a recycling cart or a commercial dumpster?
Recycling carts, yes — same $5 additional-bin rate on the same visit. For a dumpster or a multi-bin commercial property, call and we will look at it; the trailer can handle more than a residential cart but we price that job by job.
