Commercial and dumpster cleaning

Commercial waste containers fail differently from household bins. They are never empty, so there is no dry interval and residue accumulates without interruption. They serve many people, so nobody treats them as their responsibility. And they hold a far higher proportion of organic waste — which, in a South Florida summer, is the single most reliable driver of insect and rodent activity on a property.

That is the part property managers tend to discover the expensive way. When roaches appear in units or rats appear in a corral, the response is usually more pest control. But if the food source is a contaminated dumpster or cart bank thirty feet away, treating the perimeter repeatedly does not remove what is drawing them. Cleaning the container and the enclosure together addresses the source instead of the symptom.

Then there is the ground under them. The concrete pad a dumpster stands on collects everything that leaks out of it — bag juice, grease, and whatever spills when the hauler empties it — and porous concrete soaks it up. A pad like that stains, stays slick and smells long after the dumpster itself has been washed. Inside a building, the trash room floor does the same thing under the carts and the chute. Clean the container without the ground beneath it and you have done half the job, so we do the dumpster, the pad and the enclosure walls together — or, in a building, the carts, the area under the chute and the trash room floor in the same visit.

We handle front-load dumpsters, dumpster pads and enclosures, roll carts, shared cart banks, corrals, chute rooms and trash room floors. Work is scheduled outside service hours — before a business opens, or between collection and resident traffic at a residential property — and we bring our own water, heat and pressure, so nothing is drawn from the property. We tidy up before we leave.

Commercial pricing starts at one container and moves with container size, count and required frequency, because those vary enormously. A restaurant with one front-load dumpster and a hundred-unit condominium with six cart banks are not the same job.
