Investing in a dumpster is an efficient way to keep trash organized and in a central area. Over time, residue from waste can collect in the bottom, creating a sanitation issue. Like any other receptacle, it deserves a regular cleaning schedule; below are a few reasons why. 

Why Should You Schedule Dumpster Cleaning? 

1. Preventing Insects & Rodents

Insects and rodents will naturally be attracted to the waste in your dumpster. Even when empty, the lingering smells and debris can draw them in. If it becomes a regular food source, they’ll return and multiply. They may even use it as a site to build a nest. Cleaning services will eliminate the issue by regularly cleaning and sanitizing your unit.

2. Eliminating Smells

Decomposing food, debris, and general waste all create a foul smell that can sit in your dumpster after it’s been emptied. This can be off-putting to passersby and is usually a sign of sanitation issues. Bleach and other industrial-grade cleaners are often enough to strip rot from the dumpster and eliminate foul odors.

3. Boosting Curb Appeal

If your dumpster is in an alley or facing a sidewalk in the front or back, it can become an eyesore. Smells can worsen the issue, and you may notice people crossing the street to avoid it. Rather than building a bad reputation, clean your dumpster regularly. It says a lot about your business’ commitment to the environment as well as cleanliness.
