How it works

Your bins are already empty and already at the curb after Friday's pickup. That's the whole trick.

STEP 1

Book a slot

Pick one of the four Saturday spots below and add your address in The Grove and which bins you want cleaned.

STEP 2

Leave them out

After Friday's pickup, leave your empty bins at the curb overnight, and make sure I can get to your outdoor hose and power outlet.

STEP 3

Saturday power wash

Saturday morning I power wash each can inside and out with soap and degreaser.

STEP 4

Back by your garage

Clean bins get rolled back up your driveway, drip-dried and smelling fresh.

What every clean includes

  • ✓
    Inside and outside washWalls, bottom, lid, and handle.
  • ✓
    Degreaser on the stuck-on stuffThe sticky gunk that rinsing alone won't move.
  • ✓
    Soap wash to cut the smellA clean can gives flies and critters less reason to show up.
  • ✓
    Returned to your drivewayNo hauling them back yourself.
Cruz brings
  • Power washer
  • Soap
  • Degreaser
  • Extension cord
You provide
  • An outdoor hose spigot
  • An outdoor power outlet

Why bother?

A summer week in a closed plastic bin turns leftovers into a smell you can't miss from the garage. A clean can keeps flies, maggots, and raccoons away, and makes taking out the trash a lot less gross.

Serving one neighborhood, on purpose

I only clean cans in Willowsford's Grove section. Keeping it to one neighborhood means every house gets done the same Saturday morning, right after Friday pickup, and I'm never far away if something needs another pass.

Book a Saturday

Four spots every Saturday morning, first come, first served. Pick an open one, add your address in The Grove and which bins, and I'll be there after Friday pickup. $15 per clean, cash or Venmo @NVD-17.

Questions

How do I pay?

$15 per clean, paid in cash or by Venmo to @NVD-17.

What if I forget to leave my bins out?

No problem. I'll skip your house that Saturday and catch you next time. Just let me know if you want a make-up clean.

What do I need to provide?

Just access to an outdoor hose spigot and an outdoor power outlet. I bring the power washer, soap, degreaser, and extension cord.

Do I need to be home?

No, as long as I can reach your outdoor hose and outlet and the outlet has power.
