Dirty Secrets in the Gutter ⚠️
Everyone loves a clean garbage bin, but how it gets cleaned matters.
Many people don’t realize that garbage bins can contain bacteria, viruses, food waste, and even oils and chemicals. When bins are washed on your driveway, sidewalk, sidyards, or in the street, that contaminated wastewater can end up on your property and flow into storm drains.
Storm drains are not sewers. In many areas, they carry untreated water directly to local creeks, rivers, and ponds. That’s why responsible wastewater management matters.
Contaminated wastewater left on your driveway or lawn also creates a potential health risk. Children and pets playing in areas where this wastewater has been dumped can be exposed to harmful bacteria and other contaminants.
The Bin Medic+ Difference
✔ High-temperature hot water for a deeper, more effective clean.
✔ Wastewater is captured and disposed of responsibly instead of entering storm drains or being left on your property.
✔ Environmentally responsible cleaning practices that help protect your home, your family, your pets, and your community.
Keeping our neighborhoods clean should never come at the expense of our environment. 🏘️
Ask one simple question before hiring a bin cleaning company: Where does the wastewater go?
