Maggots, Rodents & Rot—Why Dirty Trash Cans Are a Bigger Problem Than You Think

A Quarterly CanCleaning Could Be the Best Thing You Do for Your Property This Year

Let’s be honest—your trash and recycling cans probably don’t get much love. They sit in the garage, on the side of the house, or out by the street… quietly collecting food scraps, spills, bacteria, and rainwater. And if you’ve ever opened the lid to find flies, maggots, or a rat scurrying away—you know just how nasty it can get.

Here’s the good news: CanCleaning was built for this exact problem.

🦠 Dirty Cans Are a Breeding Ground

Over time, even with liners and regular pickups, your bins become a perfect storm of:

• Leftover food sticking to the bottom or sides

• Spilled liquids from broken bags

• Rotting organic material that attracts pests

• Heat and moisture, which accelerate bacteria growth

All of this creates a five-star resort for maggots, flies, roaches, and even rodents. And once the pests arrive, they don’t just stay in the bins—they spread.

🧽 The CanCleaning Solution: Quarterly Bin Cleaning Service

We deep-clean your trash and recycling bins every quarter using high-powered, eco-friendly equipment that:

• Kills bacteria and odor-causing germs

• Blasts away grime, stuck-on waste, and liquids

• Deodorizes your bins so they actually smell fresh

• Leaves cans sanitized and safe to store in your garage or near your home

You wouldn’t go months without cleaning your kitchen trash can. So why let the outdoor ones fester?

🐀 Keep the Pests (and Complaints) Away

For homeowners, it’s about health and hygiene.

For property managers and short-term rental hosts, it’s also about perception. No one wants to rent a home that smells like old shrimp tails or has a raccoon prowling around the cans.

• Prevent pest infestations

• Cut down on odors

• Extend the life of your bins

• Improve curb appeal and cleanliness
