If you think “I need a garbage bin service near me” read this before you search. Garbage bin cleaning services are typically run by people with experience in the solid waste industry: that means garbagemen, solid waste foremen, drivers, etc. Being a garbageman is a demanding job and the last thing you want to do after a long day of hauling garbage is to turn the hose on and give the truck a wash. But that’s what makes the difference between a professional garbage man and “a guy who picks up trash.” And that’s what makes the difference between a garbage bin cleaning company you should hire and one you should avoid.

Here’s three reasons why a dirty truck should make you think twice about hiring a garbage bin cleaner in Vancouver and why just because a garbage bin cleaning service is near me, doesn’t mean it’s the one you should go with!

1. If the outside of cart cleaning truck is dirty what about the stuff I can’t see?

Garbage can cleaning has a lot going on behind the scenes – there’s plumbing to take water from the tank to the pressure washer to the bin washing machine and finally into your can. While you can see the outside of those hoses – you can’t see the inside – and if the truck, their company’s moving billboard, is a dirty, smelly mess then what do you think the inside of hosing and plumbing looks like? And that’s the water that goes into your garbage can!

2. Attention to Detail

Being presentable is key to running a business – no one wants to hire a business who shows up in a rusty car, looks disheveled, and scares all the neighbourhood kids. Just because we clean garbage carts doesn’t mean we have to look like garbage – and if a company’s workers, trucks, and machinery looks rundown then imagine the attention to detail they give to environmental regulations, their handling and use of cleaning chemicals, or the level of care they put into cleaning your garbage bins! A sloppily dressed garbageman is a dangerous garbageman! Take some pride.

3. Pride

Look good, feel good! If you take pride in your appearance, you’ll most likely take pride in your work as well! And that means the garbage bin cleaner who takes care of his appearance will probably notice the details and missed spots when he’s cleaning your garbage bin!

Conclusion: If you’re walking by a new condo development work-site in Vancouver and notice tools lying around, the workers looking bedraggled, and the ladders swaying in the wind – you’ll probably not be calling your realtor to book a viewing appointment when it’s done. Leaky condos, anyone?

Same goes for garbage can cleaning. Vancouver is a beautiful place – hire a company that takes pride in their work, pays attention to the details! (That’s us 😉 )
