Trash bin cleaning services are available for both residential and commercial customers. While residential and commercial per-can costs are comparable, the frequency of recommended cleaning varies. Experts recommend commercial establishments clean their trash cans weekly to ensure a hygienic environment. Residential customers should clean trash bins monthly.
Typical costs:
One-time trash can cleanings typically cost $20 for the first can. Additional cans typically cost $8-$12 extra. For example, VIP Bin Cleaning, which has franchises throughout the United States and several other countries, charges $20 for the first can, and $10 for each additional can.
Regular trash can cleaning costs $6-$8 per month for one can for customers who agree to a six-month or annual contract with a service. Additional cans typically cost $2-$6. For example, Clean Trash Cans[1] , a California-based cleaning service, charges $7 for a trash can and $9 for a trash can and recycling bin together per month for customers who agree to an annual contract.
Trash can cleaning can sometimes be part of janitorial or housecleaning services, which can cost $74-$400 for a one-time service depending on the size of the home or office.
A professional trash bin cleaning service should include a high-pressure washing, disinfecting with antibacterial detergents and, finally, deodorizing the trash bin.
Discounts:
Discounts are available for customers who agree to long-term contracts. Typically, an annual contract provides a 10%-20% discount per can costs.
Sliding-scale pricing is applied to each additional can cleaned. Additional cans typically cost $2-$3 less than the first can.
Groupon[2] , an online daily deal finder, occasionally offers coupons for trash bin cleaning services.
Shopping for a trash bin cleaning service:
The International Janitorial Cleaning Services Association business directory can help customers find a certified, professional cleaning service.
The Institute for Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration, which certifies cleaning businesses, offers tips for selecting the right cleaning professional and an international directory[3] of certified professional cleaning businesses.
