Why you should clean your trash bins regularly.

Trash bins are disgusting

It’s the perfect recipe for nastiness. You dispose baby diapers, food scraps, dog droppings from the back yard, and expired food from refrigerator clean-out day in a bin. And, it sits there in your garage or beside your house… for up to seven days before it’s emptied by the waste management company. Here in Central Texas, it may sit there in the sun, reaching temperatures of well over 100 degrees.

What does that mean?

  • They smell horrible

  • They attract maggots, flies, and rodents

  • They are breeding grounds for bacteria

Yes, the lid on the bin helps a lot, but if left on its own, the bin will smell worse and worse as time goes on unless you sanitize and disinfect the bin.

Pretty soon, your family avoids the corner of the garage the bins are stored in. If left unchecked, you’ll start noticing foul odors while you’re watching sports ball on TV or grilling with your friends out back.

They need to be cleaned regularly. Doing so will stop the stink, repel the critters, and protect your family.

Do-it-yourself

It’s possible to clean the bins by yourself, but it’s not easy. To stop the smells you either need to have a strong disinfectant or have the ability to clean with very hot water.

Cleaning with a pressure washer is the best DIY method, but you know you’ll end up with a face full of trash water at some point. The second challenge is handling the runoff. It’s illegal in most areas to allow the runoff from trash bins to go into storm drains as it poses an environmental risk.
