See why San Diego residents trust WHATABIN! Our customers love the fresh, odor-free results and hassle-free service that keeps their bins looking like new.
So thankful for Whatabin!! Igor came and made our trash cans look soooo much better! We just moved into oue new home and our trash and recycle bins were absolutely filthy. I'm not scared to touch them anymore, there's no odor, and we couldn't be happier! Will definitely be using their service in the future.
Outstanding work! I placed the request online and the next day they were here! The gentleman was extremely respectful, explained everything he was doing as it was our first time hiring a company to clean our bins! It did not take long for the bins to be cleaned and smelling good! He power washed the harder nasty stuff all around the inside and outside to make sure they get the gross stuff out! 10/10 recommend them! I’m already planning on booking them again soon! I love taking out my trash bins to the curb without having to worry about nasty stuff and spider webs! Truly recommend!
We’ve had the pleasure of working with What A Bin on several jobs - we’re based up north in California, and it’s great to have a reliable partner we can count on down south. Their team is super friendly, professional, and always go the extra mile. In this industry, trust and efficiency are everything, and What A Bin delivers on both every time. Their trash bin cleaning service is top-notch — thorough, timely, and leaves bins looking (and smelling) like new. It’s the kind of quality service that reflects how much they care about doing things right. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality work. A solid, trustworthy crew we’re proud to work alongside!
Awesome service! Our bins were getting stinky even when empty, especially with this heat. They came out the day after trash pickup and cleaned the bins for us. They are now clean and the smell is gone. So easy to schedule and the cleaning was quick! Highly recommend. Thank you!
Awesome experience! My garbage was picked up and one of the bags must have broken and spilled something awful all over the bin. We live in a neighborhood where you have to keep the bins inside your garage. I booked a cleaning and they were here within a few hours. He was here probably less than 5 mins and the bins were completely clean. Great service.
They came on the following day and cleaned the cans to the perfection! The bins are like new again and smelling fresh! I subscribed for quarterly service and very happy with the results and the whole process. I am receiving a message when they on the way and once they finish. Very convenient and again HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

FAQs
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
Everything you need to know about our trash bin cleaning services.
How does your trash can cleaning service work?
Our trash bin cleaning service uses a self-contained cleaning unit that deep cleans, sanitizes, and deodorizes your trash and recycle bins. We arrive on your scheduled day, position your bins, and use 200°F water to wash away grime, harmful bacteria, and germs like E. coli, Salmonella, and other viruses. The dirty water is collected inside our truck, so nothing goes into the street or yard. As a result, your trash cans are disinfected, deodorized, and ready to use again — clean and fresh-smelling.
How often should I get my bins cleaned?
Most homeowners choose our monthly service to keep their trash cans clean and odor-free year-round. We also offer bi-monthly and quarterly service packages if your bins don’t get too dirty. If you just want to try us out, you can schedule one cleaning or a one-time service first and update your plan later when you’re ready.
Why should I pay to clean my bins when I can do it myself?
We clean both trash bins and recycle bins for residential services and commercial services. Our equipment handles standard home cans, business dumpsters, and Louisiana trash carts (and similar sizes). Whether it’s your first cleaning or part of an ongoing plan, we’ll make sure every bin is thoroughly sanitized and deodorized.
What happens to the dirty water after cleaning?
All the dirty water from the bin cleaning process is stored inside our self-contained cleaning unit — never left on your driveway or street. We safely dispose of it following local environmental guidelines, so your home and community stay clean and safe.
Is this safe for my family and pets?
Absolutely! Our cleaning process uses hot steam and eco-friendly products that kill harmful bacteria, E. coli, and germs without leaving any harsh chemicals behind. Your family, pets, and property stay safe, and your bins are completely disinfected and deodorized — not just sprayed and called clean.
How do I start or change my service plan?
Starting is easy! Just click the Sign Up button, choose the right service package for your home or business, and add it to your cart. The order process takes less than two minutes. You can also update your account anytime if you want to switch plans, add items, or adjust your schedule.
Do you offer commercial services?
Yes, we do! Our commercial services are designed for businesses that use larger dumpsters — from 2 to 10 yards. We’ll come to your location, lift the dumpster into our wash bay, and get it cleaned, sanitized, and disinfected in just a few minutes. You can choose monthly, bi-monthly, or one cleaning every quarter depending on your needs.
What makes your company different from other trash bin cleaners?
We’re a local company that truly cares about keeping our community clean. Our truck is fully self-contained, so no dirty water or waste touches your property. We don’t just spray your bins — we sanitize, disinfect, and deodorize them using 200°F steam. You’ll also get a notice when your bins are done, and we’ll make sure every part is spotless. Whether it’s your first bin or your hundredth, we provide consistent, high-quality services every month of the year.
