The main focus of bin cleaning will always be the inside of the trash bin. That is where most of the bacteria, odor, food residue, maggots, and buildup are. That is the part that creates the biggest transformation for the customer. But here’s an important reminder: Do not neglect the outside of the bin. While you deep clean and sanitize the inside, take the extra time to rinse and pressure wash the exterior too. That means cleaning: -The four sides of the bin -The lid -The bottom area -The handle -The wheels -Any dirt, dust, mud, or bird poop on the outside This does not need to take away from the main service. It enhances it. The customer is paying to have their trash bin cleaned, and that means the bin should look clean, smell clean, and feel clean when the job is done. Recently, I’ve noticed a lot of bins with bird poop on the outside, especially when they are left on the side of the house or near trees. That is the type of detail customers notice. If the inside is spotless but the outside still has visible grime, mud on the wheels, or bird poop on the lid, the service feels unfinished. The inside is the priority. The outside is the finishing touch. And finishing touches are what create a premium customer experience. Take the extra minute. Clean the whole bin.
