We require a two bin minimum and one dumpster minimum but strongly recommend signing up all your bins and dumpsters to be cleaned. Rotating of the bins and dumpsters is not permitted.

You may add additional bins and dumpsters to your account at anytime by calling, emailing or texting us.
What if my HOA will not allow my bins to be curbside past trash collection day?

If your HOA does not allow you to leave the bins curbside, you may leave the bins in your driveway or on the side of the property. If any location that is not visible, please inform us so we can note in on your account.
What if I am away and cannot put my trash bins out on my service day?
​
​Call or email us 24 hours in advance of your scheduled service to let us know and we can reschedule accordingly or skip your cleaning until your next designated scheduled cleaning. Unfortunately, if you do not notify us and we go to your property to provide the service, your payment will not be refunded.
​
What if I forget to leave my bins out or you can't access my property for any reason?

​We would be happy to reschedule your cleaning but there will be a $10 rescheduling fee if your bins were not left out for cleaning, or we could not get access to your property.

It is your responsibility to have your trash bins out for cleaning. We do provide a service reminder the day before as well as the day of as a courtesy. Please notify us if you are not receiving the reminders or would like to change/add a phone or email notification. Since the reminders are a courtesy and it is your responsibility to have the trash bins available for cleaning, if we go to provide the service and your trash bins are not available, your card will still be charged.
Will the technician knock on my door if my bins are not out?
First, you do not have to be home to receive this service. As a courtesy, we send an email reminder the day before service and a text reminder the morning of service so that you can plan accordingly.
