Clean, Sanitized Bins Keep Up Your Curb Appeal in the Coachella Valley

Even if you throw your trash away in tightly tied trash bags, bacteria can still make their way onto the surfaces of your bin and set up a home there. Because many forms of bacteria are dangerous to your family’s health, and trash cans house much more than discarded papers, it pays to clean trash and recycle bins regularly.

Your trash can is a perfect place for bacteria to grow and bugs to reproduce, along with being a stinky eyesore in front of your home. Let the Coachella Valley trash and recycle bin cleaners at EZ Bin Cleaners help you keep your trash cans clean with regularly scheduled sanitizations.

Why You Should Keep Your Trash Bins Clean

There are plenty of reasons to clean your bins in addition to eliminating bacteria, but of course, that is one of the most important. From germs to bugs, your trash cans are an extension of your home and should be cleaned in kind. Keep your bins clean for the following 3 important reasons.

  1. Bacteria and germ elimination: Because harm reduction is crucial, it’s helpful to know how to get rid of bacteria and germs. Old food, raw meat cuttngs, dirty diapers, and feminine products create a perfect petri dish for bacterial growth in your trash and recycle cans. E. Coli, Salmonella, Listeria, and other bacteria can grow in your bins, but cleaning and sanitizing your bins will kill the germs. This helps to keep your family safe from the effects of exposure.
  2. Maggot elimination: Flies are attracted to trash cans because of their odor and they lay their eggs in moist, organic material. Once their eggs hatch, you have creepy, crawly maggots to deal with, and they are not easy to get rid of with regular cleaning. When your trash bins are odor free and have no organic material remnants, the flies will look elsewhere to lay their eggs.
  3. Odor elimination: Old food, diapers, pet droppings, and other smelly trash can create quite a cloud of stink where you keep your bins. What once was sweet-smelling fruit or food quickly turns rancid and sour and often becomes liquid. It can leak through trash bags no mater how tight you tie them. Then it makes its way onto your bin surfaces and into the porous material. Unfortunately, these smells can stick around well after you empty the bin if you don’t clean it properly.
