Why Clean Trash Bins Matter (and Why We Do What We Do)

If you've ever opened your trash or recycling bin and been hit with that nasty wave of odor—or seen the mystery goo collecting at the bottom—you’re not alone. Most people avoid their bins unless they absolutely have to. We get it. That’s exactly why American Bin Washers exists.

We're not just here to clean your bins. We’re here to solve a problem that every household deals with but rarely talks about: the gross build-up of bacteria, grime, and stink that lingers in your trash cans week after week.

So...Why Does Bin Cleaning Matter?

Your bins are a breeding ground for bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria. They’re also a favorite hangout for pests—flies, maggots, and rodents—especially in warmer months. A quick rinse with the garden hose might make things look a little better, but it doesn’t kill bacteria or get rid of deep-set smells. That’s where we come in.

Our truck-mounted system uses 230°F high-pressure water to blast away filth, sanitize the bin inside and out, and leave it looking (and smelling) like new. It’s fast, eco-friendly, and best of all—you don’t have to touch a thing.

What Makes Us Different

We’re a local business, built right here in the community we serve. When you book with American Bin Washers, you’re getting real people—hard-working folks who show up on time, do the job right, and care about your experience. We believe in honest work, clear communication, and treating customers like neighbors.

We also operate curbside. That means you don’t have to be home, answer a doorbell, or remember to move anything extra. Just leave your bins out on your regular trash day, and we’ll handle the rest.

What You Can Expect

Here’s what a typical service looks like:

Pickup Day Sync: We show up the next day after your trash has been collected.
Deep Clean & Sanitize: Bins are lifted and blasted clean using our custom hot water system.
Deodorize: We leave your bins smelling fresh—like they’re supposed to.
Done: We return them curbside, cleaned, disinfected and deodorized. Looking good as new.
