The simple answer is no. Our Clean Scan™ Notification System relies on the unique barcode we attach to each can. If you do need additional cans cleaned, you can request them to be added to any of your regular services for only an additional $5 per can.

You are billed monthly for your service. Once your first cleaning has been completed, your renewal will be in advance of subsequent cleanings on the 1st of each month.

Using our Clean Scan™ Technology, upon cleaning your trash can you will receive an automated text message from us and your online Clean Cans account will be updated with the date of cleaning.

To update your payment method, visit https://cleancans.com/updatecard. If you aren’t logged into your account, you’ll be asked to log in using your email address and password. Enter your card details, make sure the checkbox is checked next to “Apply this payment method to all of my subscriptions and unpaid orders”, then click Add Payment Method. Your card details will be saved, and applied to all subscriptions on your account. If your subscription is on-hold due to a failed payment, it will automatically resume and we’ll get you on the schedule for the next available cleaning date.

If we are unable or miss your monthly trash can cleaning service due to a fault at our end, you will be credited for the next month’s service. This does not apply to situations where, after notification, your trash cans were not available for us to clean on your service day.

If you are out of town, on vacation or there is another reason preventing you from having your trash cans available for us to clean, please give us as much notice as possible to allow us to reschedule. If we have no notice, and your trash can(s) are not available for cleaning on the pre-notified service day, you will still be charged for that month’s trash can cleaning service.

If you don’t leave your trash can out on your service day, after we have sent prior notification, we don’t usually arrange for a revisit. In some cases where our scheduling and route allows, we may try to reschedule one more time for that month’s cleaning. This is at our discretion. If you are out of town, or planning to be out of town – we ask that you contact us with as much notice as possible so we can make the necessary changes to accommodate this.

We try to get you on our trash can cleaning schedule as soon as possible after signup. Sometimes it can take up to 2 weeks for us to get you on schedule due to the logistics of cleaning trash cans behind so many different city and municipal solid waste pickup routes!

As much as we would love to wave a magic wand and make every trash can look brand, spanking new after we have cleaned it… often, it is just not possible. With years of grabbing, tipping and scraping the plastic can be worn and scratched – beyond what any kind of cleaning can fix. Also, many cans have had harsh chemicals, solvents, paints, construction adhesives and various incarnations of grease, foods, animal waste and household items disposed of in them. Sometimes, there may still be staining or marks on the trash can surface following our trash can cleaning. This is staining that can’t be removed using conventional cleaning methods – but rest assured our high temperature, high pressure cleaning system will clean and sanitize you trash can interior. Furthermore, our enzyme-based deodorizer will work on the foul odors in your can, even after we have left!
