How often should a dumpster pad be cleaned?

Restaurant dumpster pads should be degreased and hot washed every 2 to 4 weeks. Retail and apartment enclosures are commonly cleaned monthly or quarterly. Liquid leaving a trash enclosure is one of the most common stormwater violations.

Nobody wants to look at the dumpster pad, which is why it gets so bad. Leaking bags, grease from the tallow bin and liquid from the compactor soak into the concrete and bake in the sun.

One customer wrote that we cleaned a dumpster area that was greasy with stains all over the floor, and it now looks like almost new floor.

What a visit covers

  • Enclosure floor degreased and hot washed
  • Walls, gates and bollards
  • Grease bin and compactor pads
  • The path from the kitchen or dock door
  • Deodorizing treatment
  • Wash water recovered, not sent to the lot

Why inspectors look here first

Liquid leaving a trash enclosure is one of the most common stormwater violations at restaurants and shopping centers. A clean, dry pad with no staining running out of the gate is the easiest way to avoid a notice.

A small job that belongs on a schedule

Restaurants usually need the enclosure cleaned every two to four weeks. Retail centers and apartment communities do well on monthly or quarterly service. It is quick work and costs little when added to a route we are already running nearby.

What customers say about this service

  • Pressurize Washing Systems knocked it out of the park. They did an outstanding job power washing and deep cleaning our gas stations and car washes—canopies, store exterior, windows, floors, even stubborn gum that’s usually impossible to get rid of. The sites looked noticeably brighter and more professional the same day. They showed up on time, worked efficiently, and clearly know what they’re doing. If you care about curb appeal, brand standards, and keeping your properties looking top-tier, these guys are a no-brainer. Highly recommend.

  • From the moment George reached back out to me with my request, it was nothing but true professionalism. We met, walked over the four storefront project that was desired and two days later, work was completed with full satisfaction with all parties involved. His follow up on his work was 💯 appreciated too.

How often should a dumpster pad be cleaned?

Restaurant enclosures usually need it every two to four weeks. Retail and multi-family enclosures are commonly cleaned monthly or quarterly.

Does cleaning get rid of the smell?

Yes. Most of the smell comes from grease and liquid soaked into the concrete. Degreasing, hot washing and a deodorizing treatment remove the source.

Do you move the dumpsters?

We roll standard bins out, clean behind and under them and put them back. Compactors stay in place and we clean around them.
