Trash bins are breeding grounds for bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Studies show that over 400 bacteria per square inchmay live inside a trash can. This creates a perfect environment for flies, mosquitoes, and roaches — plus the foul odor can release toxic fumes. Regular professional cleaning keeps your bins safer, cleaner, and healthier.
Cleaning bins with a garden hose is messy, time-consuming, and often ineffective. It spreads bacteria and dirty water across your driveway or yard. At YCB Services, we use 200°F hot, high-pressure water with a custom-built cleaning system that deep-cleans and disinfects. We also collect all dirty wastewater and dispose of it safely. Your bins will be fresh, sanitized, and eco-friendly — without the mess.
