Why should I have my garbage cans cleaned?
Why should I have my garbage cans cleaned?
There are a number of reasons to have your trash can regularly:
A dirty, stinky trash can can be dangerous for anyone with a compromised immune system and can be harmful to children, older adults, pregnant women and family pets. Dirty trash cans are a perfect breeding ground for disease causing bacteria which multiply at an alarming rate!
Dirty cans are a breeding ground for maggots and tend to attract wasps, flies, rodents, and other pests.
Dirty cans smell terrible and are embarrassing to you, your family and your neighbors.
How often should I have my garbage cans cleaned?
How often should I have my garbage cans cleaned?
It is recommended to have garbage cans cleaned at least every quarter to stay on top of the odor and bacteria growth, however, you can have SuperCan do them monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly or on-demand.
Can I just clean my garbage cans myself?
Can I just clean my garbage cans myself?
Of course you can! But just using cold water from the garden hose and a broom to clean your trash and recycle bins is not sufficient to remove or kill the bacteria and diseases that breed in your bins. Cleaning your trash bins yourself can also mean tracking bacteria back into your home, contaminating your lawn and local water supply with the runoff and using significantly more water than is necessary. Our professional, high pressure, hot water system is 15 times more water-efficient than your garden hose and our hydrolic wash bay retains the contaminated water, leaving you with a clean, disinfected garbage or recycling bin without any of the hassle, lingering bacteria or wasted water.
