A simple guide to getting your trash and recycling cans ready for curbside cleaning after pickup day.
Book Your Cleaning →Your cleaning is scheduled around your normal waste pickup. The most important thing is simple: the cans need to be empty and accessible when the Ameri-CANZ route reaches your home. Leave them where the crew can safely reach them after collection.
If a can is locked away, hidden behind a gate, still full, or otherwise inaccessible, it may not be possible to complete that cleaning. If you have made a specific retrieval arrangement with Ameri-CANZ, follow the instructions associated with that arrangement.
Ameri-CANZ uses service notifications to make route day easier to follow. Customers receive advance communication about an upcoming cleaning and a completion update after service. Route timing can vary as the crew moves through the day's scheduled homes, so accessibility matters more than waiting outside for an exact minute.
The crew cleans eligible trash and recycling cans with purpose-built equipment and captures dirty wash water on the truck. The goal is to handle the messy part curbside without requiring you to be home or wash the cans yourself.
After service, follow the completion communication for confirmation that the visit has been completed. If something prevented service or a can could not be accessed, contact Ameri-CANZ so the account can be reviewed and the appropriate next step determined.
Leave your empty cans accessible after your normal trash or recycling pickup. Ameri-CANZ schedules cleaning after pickup so the cans are ready for service.
No. As long as the empty cans are accessible for the route, you do not need to be home.
The crew can only clean cans that are accessible. If you have arranged a specific retrieval option with Ameri-CANZ, follow those instructions; otherwise place the empty cans where the route can reach them.
Ameri-CANZ sends service communications around the scheduled cleaning, including advance and completion updates.
