How It Works
Trash bins collect bacteria and foul odors, contact with that grime can affect your family’s health. Many HOAs require bins to stay inside garages to keep the neighborhood looking neat, the real risk is indoor contamination and exposure where your family lives.
The Problem No One Talks About
Bacteria, odors and pests
Bins hold food residue, diapers, pet waste and liquids, this is a perfect environment for bacteria and insects.
HOA rules move the problem indoors
Keeping bins in the garage reduces curbside clutter, families are exposed to smells and germs near living areas.
Professional cleaning is the fix
High temperature water and controlled pressure remove grime, sanitize the surface and eliminate odors quickly.
