Frequently Asked Questions

  • There are several important reasons to have your trash cans cleaned regularly. Dirty, smelly bins can pose health risks—especially for individuals with compromised immune systems, as well as children, older adults, pregnant women, and pets. Trash cans are ideal breeding grounds for harmful bacteria, which can multiply quickly and spread disease. In addition to health concerns, unclean bins often attract pests like maggots, flies, wasps, and rodents. And let’s face it—no one wants to deal with the embarrassment of foul-smelling garbage cans that neighbors can smell from the curb.

  • 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.  

  • 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. 

  • Please avoid placing hot ashes, dirt, rocks, sod, concrete, asphalt, tree limbs or trunks, flammable materials (like oil, gas, or paint), large bulky items (furniture, appliances), or any construction or demolition debris in your container. These items can damage equipment or pose safety risks.

  • Yes, but please make sure to place all grass clippings, leaves, and similar yard waste in tied garbage bags before placing them in the container. Loose yard waste should not be placed directly into the bin.

  • No, please do not overfill your container. If garbage spills out, you’ll be responsible for cleaning it up. To help prevent spills, tie garbage bags securely shut before placing them inside.
