The process
How we blast a Phoenix trash can clean
Three steps on your end, one visit on ours, and no reason for you to be home. Here's exactly what happens and what the equipment is doing.
Get startedThe three steps in depth
- 01
Step one: pick your rhythm at checkout
You choose how often we come out, tell us how many bins you have, and confirm your address. Every 4 weeks is what most Valley households pick because our heat resets the odor clock so fast. Every 8 weeks is plenty for smaller households, and a one-time blast works if you just need a reset. There's no long-term contract either way.

Step two: we follow your trash truck
We schedule your visit on your city's regular collection day and arrive after your bins have been emptied. Cleaning an empty bin is the whole point, so leave your carts at the curb that morning and don't bring them back in early. You'll get a reminder beforehand. You do not need to be home, and we never need access to your yard, gate or garage.

Step three: the blast, then back to the curb
Your bins go into our contained cleaning system: inside walls, bottom seam, outside, lid, rim and handle. Hot water at pressure strips the film, our eco-friendly solution handles what's left, and a deodorizer finishes it. We capture the wastewater, then set your bins back upright at the curb with the lids closed.
The cleaning spec
This is the part that separates a real cleaning from a hose and a prayer.
Water at roughly 200°F
Heat is what breaks down rendered fat and dried sugar. Cool water just relocates it, which is why a driveway rinse never fixes the smell for long.
About 3,500 PSI of pressure
Pressure gets into the ribs, the bottom seam and under the rim, the three places residue and fly eggs actually live.
Eco-friendly solutions
Safe around pets, kids and desert landscaping. We capture the wastewater instead of sending it down your driveway into the storm drain.
Sanitized and deodorized
We finish with a deodorizer so your bin comes back neutral rather than perfumed. Nothing left for bacteria to eat means the smell takes weeks to return, not days.
Good to know
- Cleaning happens after the bins are emptied on trash day, so timing is tied to your city's collection schedule.
- You don't need to be home, and we don't need access to anything behind a gate.
- Bins come back sanitized, deodorized and set upright at the curb.
- If your bins aren't at the curb, or trash has been added back in after pickup, we can't clean them and a $15 unserviceable service fee applies.
- Cracked or sun-damaged bins get a gentler pass so we don't make an existing problem worse.
