Your bins, cleaned at the curb after pickup, sanitized, deodorized and dry, without you lifting a finger or a hose.
Keep your home fresh and sanitary with professional residential trash bin cleaning. Five-Star Bins eliminates odors, bacteria and pests using an eco-friendly, high-pressure, high-heat process, delivered as convenient curbside service you can count on. We clean your trash and recycling bins the day after your scheduled pickup, so they are empty and ready, and we handle everything from there.
They are unsanitary. Your trash bin is one of the most unsanitary areas around your home, covered with germs, bacteria and viruses that can make your family ill, including E. coli, influenza, salmonella and norovirus, to name a few. A garden hose spreads that around. High-heat cleaning removes and kills it.
Pests. Your garbage bin is the perfect environment for pests to live and breed. Insects and rodents love a stinky trash can and will eventually make their way toward your home if the bin is left dirty. Common visitors include flies, ants, raccoons, mice, possums and maggots, and the list goes on. Remove the food residue they feed on and the bin stops being an invitation.
Spiders. Need we say more? Spiders love the area where you keep your bins. They live inside, around the wheels, under the lid and in the concave areas by the handles. The insects above are a stable food source, so spiders make themselves right at home. Regular cleaning breaks that whole chain.
Eastern North Carolina's heat and humidity accelerate everything. Food waste breaks down faster, bacteria multiply faster, and odors and pests appear faster than they would inland. Bins that sit outside in the sun between pickups, which is most bins here, are especially prone to it. Routine cleaning is the only thing that keeps up with the climate.
Water at roughly 200°F under pressure, reaching every interior surface, the corners and the underside of the lid, killing germs and bacteria.
An eco-friendly deodorizer applied after cleaning, so the bin smells fresh rather than merely less bad.
The exterior, lid, handle and wheels, not only the inside, so the bin looks clean at the curb too.
Recycling bins collect just as much sticky residue as trash bins, and we clean them to the same standard.
Every drop is collected in our water recovery system and disposed of properly. Nothing runs down your driveway or into the storm drain.
Leave the bins at the curb after pickup. You do not need to be home and there is nothing to prepare.

If your bins have never been professionally cleaned, the first visit removes years of buildup rather than a few weeks of it. That is the clean people photograph. Everything after that is maintenance, and it is the maintenance that keeps the smell from ever coming back.
