Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Five-Star Bins

1. Why should I get my trash bins cleaned?

Trash bins, garbage bins, and trash cans quickly become breeding grounds for bacteria, mold, and foul odors. They also attract pests such as flies, rodents, and raccoons. Regular cleaning protects your family’s health and improves curb appeal.

Our curbside trash bin cleaning process uses high-pressure, hot water to sanitize, deodorize, and disinfect your bins. Unlike rinsing with a garden hose, our eco-friendly method kills harmful bacteria and leaves your bins fresh, safe, and odor-free.

​

2. How does curbside bin cleaning work?

After your trash and recycling bins are emptied, our specialized cleaning truck arrives at your curb. We use high-pressure, hot water to deep clean, sanitize, and deodorize the bins inside and out—killing germs and eliminating odors.

All wastewater is collected and contained in our truck, ensuring nothing pollutes storm drains, sewers, or waterways. You don’t need to be home—just leave your bins out, and we’ll do the rest.

​

3. How often should garbage bins be cleaned?

For the best results, trash bins and garbage cans should be cleaned at least once a month. Regular service eliminates odors, kills bacteria, and discourages pests from nesting in or around your bins.

We also offer flexible service plans—from monthly to quarterly cleanings—so you can choose what works best for your home or business.

​

4. Do I need to be home for bin cleaning?

No. As long as your bins are curbside and empty, we can clean them without you being home. This makes it a convenient solution for busy families, HOAs, and businesses.

When you return, your bins will be sanitized, deodorized, and ready for use—no mess, no stress.

​

5. Do you offer commercial services?

Yes! In addition to residential bin cleaning, we offer commercial dumpster and dumpster pad cleaning, pressure washing, and soft washing.

These services are ideal for restaurants, apartment complexes, and businesses that need clean, safe, and odor-free dumpster areas, sidewalks, storefronts, and parking lots.

​

​

7. Do you offer HOA discounts?

Yes, we proudly provide 20% HOA discounts for neighborhoods, HOAs, and apartment complexes. Group service reduces costs while keeping entire communities clean, sanitary, and pest-free.

By teaming up with your neighbors, you’ll save money while enjoying cleaner bins, garbage cans, and common areas year-round.

​

8. How much does trash bin cleaning cost?

Pricing depends on service frequency and location. Residential monthly bin cleaning typically costs less than the price of a family meal and helps eliminate odors and bacteria year-round. One-time cleanings are also available. Contact us for current pricing and service availability in your area.

​

9. What if my trash bins are extremely dirty or have maggots?

We’ve seen it all. Whether your bins have heavy buildup, strong odors, or maggot activity, our high-temperature cleaning process is designed to remove organic residue and sanitize the interior thoroughly. Even severely soiled bins can typically be restored with professional cleaning.

​

10. Are your cleaning products safe for pets and the environment?

Yes. We use eco-conscious cleaning methods and control wastewater through our recovery system to prevent runoff into storm drains. Our process is designed to be effective while remaining environmentally responsible and safe around homes and communities.

​

11. Will pressure washing damage my home or siding?

No. We use the appropriate cleaning method for each surface. Delicate surfaces are cleaned using soft washing, which uses low pressure and professional cleaning solutions. Concrete and durable surfaces are cleaned using controlled pressure to avoid damage while delivering effective results.

​

12. What areas do you service?

We proudly serve Jacksonville, Hampstead, Surf City, Topsail, Hubert, Burgaw, and surrounding communities throughout Onslow and Pender Counties. Contact us to confirm availability in your area.

​

13. What happens if it rains on my scheduled service day?

Light rain typically does not affect our service. In the case of severe weather, we will reschedule your cleaning for the next available service day and notify you in advance.

​

14. How long does the cleaning process take?

Most residential trash bin cleanings take just a few minutes per bin. Larger commercial dumpster or pressure washing jobs vary depending on property size, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption.
