Everything you need to know about how our commercial garbage can cleaning service works.

The Service
We come to your property on a scheduled basis and clean your garbage cans on-site using a purpose-built truck with a high-pressure hot water system. Water reaches up to 93°C, which exceeds the WHO bacterial kill threshold. Every clean includes sanitizing and deodorizing. Our truck is fully self-contained and does not require access to your building or utilities.
No. As long as your garbage cans are accessible, we can take care of it without anyone present. During the account setup process we will go through the location of your cans and flag any access considerations in advance. If you prefer to have someone on-site for the first clean, that is completely fine too.
We require a minimum of 5 garbage cans per visit for commercial accounts.
We clean standard wheeled garbage cans. If your property has an unusual setup or non-standard containers, include those details in your quote request and we will let you know what we can accommodate.
No. Our truck uses a closed-loop water system. Dirty water is captured, filtered, and reused. Nothing goes onto the ground, into a drain, or into the storm sewer. Garbage can wash water contains bacteria, fats, oils, and organic matter that are regulated as liquid industrial by-product. We handle it correctly.
Yes. One-time commercial cleans are available. Pricing depends on the number of cans. Contact us at sales@wecleangarbagecans.ca to discuss. Or you can submit a request with your details and we'll send you a quote.
