Trash cans routinely hold food waste, used packaging, pet waste and other material that can leave residue behind. Like many dirty household surfaces, a bin can contain bacteria and other microorganisms. That fact alone does not tell you whether a particular can will cause illness, and a homeowner cannot determine microbial risk simply by looking at or smelling the cart.
What cleaning does accomplish
Cleaning removes visible grime, stuck-on residue and material that contributes to unpleasant odors. Keeping waste bagged, cleaning spills and periodically washing the cart are sensible housekeeping steps. Professional cleaning can make that job considerably less messy.
Avoiding exaggerated claims
No ordinary curbside appearance check can identify specific bacteria or establish a household health risk. Likewise, Ameri-CANZ does not need to promise medical outcomes to provide a useful service. The practical benefit is a cleaner trash or recycling cart with residue and dirty wash water removed from the immediate curbside area.
Prosper curbside service
