Our custom built, self-contained X-Germinator cleaning trucks retain the rinse water so that it is properly disposed of at the end of the day. Because we retain this water, and use zero harmful chemicals, we are helping to reduce contamination to our area Retention Ponds, Intercoastal Waterway and the Ocean!

How often should my trash and recycle bins be cleaned?
Your bins will be X-Germinated every 4 weeks or 12 weeks on trash/recycle day after they have been emptied… this maintains clean and healthy bins that might otherwise be a breeding ground for Germs, Odor & Grime.
How will I know that my bins have been cleaned?
In addition to your bins smelling and looking clean, we will place an easily removable note on the lid confirm that “You’ve BIN Busted”.
If I miss my service date because of my mistake; will you reschedule my service day?
Our industry operates in the same manner as our trash collection peers in that it is the client’s responsibility to have their bin(s) empty and curbside on service days. We are unable to credit/reschedule visits and will return on your neighborhood’s next scheduled day.
Sometimes I take my trash bins in early and don’t leave it at the curbside, how would it be cleaned?
We ask you leave your bin at the curbside, once it is cleaned we will place your bin at the side of your garage or at a spot we have agreed for it be placed. We will call, text and/or knock on your door.
How will I know when my service is scheduled each month?
Our automated system will text message you the evening prior as an alert. We also have a convenient client portal on our website (www.germbustmybins.com) that contains your account information. If you are a first time user or have forgotten your password please use the :forgot password” feature.
What happens if I move out of the GermBustMyBins service area?
If you relocate, please call us at (843) 733-3323. If you are relocating within our service area you can have your service transferred or the balance of the service can be gifted to the new homeowner.
What if my HOA will not allow my cans out past a certain time on trash collection day?
This is really never a problem as our routed typically are completed by late afternoon or early evening. Please give us the contact information to the HOA Board and/or Manager, and we will discuss the situation with them to see if we might be able to come up with a solution that can make allowance for a possible exception during “GermBustMyBins service day”. Most HOAs work with us to best serve the residents of the community.
You have cleaned my trash bin but there is still dirt/grime inside the bin. Why is this?
We have found that some of the trash or recycle bins we clean can take a few cleaning cycles to remove the build-up that has accumulated over time. We make every effort to clean your trash bins to the highest standards, and in time, we have found that our curbside machine will remove the most stubborn grime. In the meantime, GermBustMyBins has eliminated the odors and germs in your bins.
Why should I have my trash bin cleaned?
Using a water hose and broom to clean your trash and recycle bins is not sufficient to remove or kill the all of the bacteria and diseases that breed in your bins, such as; Tuberculosis, Strep, Staph, E-Coli, Salmonella & Listeria. In fact, you may only be adding to the problem. We not only clean your bins, we disinfect, sanitize and deodorize using our environmentally friendly custom X-Germinator truck.
Will you provide a one-time or occasional cleaning?
Yes, we do offer this option however we highly recommend the monthly recurring frequency as the healthiest option for our clients.
