Dumpster Cleaning Service for Businesses in Richmond, VA

Many businesses need a dumpster on the premises, including restaurants, apartment complexes, gas stations and shopping centers. Some of these have specific requirements for cleaning dumpsters, either from the type of trash they produce or the regulations for that industry. For example, the food service industry has many regulations from multiple levels of government that control health and safety measures, such as the cleaning process for dumpsters. Apartment complexes may also have codes that regulate dumpster maintenance.

The problems caused by dirty dumpsters may just be cosmetic, but they also include health and safety hazards. The appearance and smell of these dumpsters can cause a business to lose customers, which is particularly likely in the case of restaurants. Dumpsters can also attract rodents, insects and bacteria, which can cause and spread disease. The biggest risk of these organisms is that they can make their way from the dumpster area to inside the business, where they’re more likely to come into contact with people. Finally, the decomposition of dirty trash can result in slimy surfaces that create slip-and-fall hazards.

The cleaning process for dumpsters poses several challenges beyond that of other types of commercial cleaning. Businesses often neglect their dumpsters for long periods of time, which can cause concrete to absorb liquids that result in extremely stubborn stains. Dumpsters from restaurants are likely to contain large amounts of fat, which won’t dissolve in plain water. In addition, standard cleaning methods may not eradicate the large colonies of harmful bacteria that can grow in and around dumpsters.

Let Enviro-Master of EMS of Richmond, VA Re-Fresh Your Dumpster

Enviro-Master’s Re-Fresh Power Washing service uses several distinct techniques to clean dumpsters and dumpster pads. Degreasing is the first step, which uses chemical solutions to break up fat-based debris such as grease and oil. The next step is power washing, which uses heated, pressurized water to remove dirt and grime that has become caked-on and baked over time. The Re-Fresh service also includes the application of an enzymatic cleaner, which includes a colony of bacteria that keeps fat-based garbage in check between cleanings. Finally, we apply a product that reduces the formation of maggots, which are a major disease vector.

Enviro-Master offers both one-time and regular services, which can take the responsibility of cleaning dumpsters off the shoulders of employees. We have years of experience with commercial cleaning and can meet the needs of businesses in any industry. We also use the latest equipment to ensure the job is done correctly the first time, allowing you to focus on your business.
