Bugs, REVISITED…
A recent article at How I Get Rid Of lists the most deadly insects in the world. Shockingly, it isn’t some exotic insect on a distant shore. It is the common mosquito. The article reads… “According to the World Mosquito Program, it is estimated that at least 700 million people contract mosquito-borne diseases every single year, and at least one million of these people die from mosquito-borne illnesses each year across the globe.”
How Cleaning Your Trash Bins Can Improve Property Value
As a homeowner, the one thing you don’t want is for your home to lose value. Your home provides shelter and is an emblem of your social status. But more importantly, that building is probably the most expensive thing you have ever bought. Whatever affects the value of your home will touch your life deeply.
That is why it is vital to make sure the appearance of your trash bin matches the image of your home.
Your Business Is a Treasure to Your Community
Small businesses do more than just bring jobs to a community. They can also serve as a place to bring people together. As a future small business owner, you can become a fixture in your own community by offering your neighbors the products and/or services they want and need.
Work Ethic Matters
We recently came across bins of one of our customers that a competitor had mistakenly cleaned a few hours before we arrived.
The bins were taped shut with their logo proudly taped to the lid.
The lid was visibly dirty. It had not been cleaned at all. The smell inside was not pleasant, likely because there was an inch or so of water left in the bottom.
When we stared actually cleaning the bins, a soapy residue that had been left behind washed off, inside and out.
Electrostatic spraying
TriStar Bin Cleaning is committed to thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing your entire trash can - that means the inside and the outside. The handles that are used to wheel your bin to the street and back and open up the lid on a daily basis are the highest touched points of a trash bin. That is the area we are targeting with our new electrostatic spraying technology.
Take Back Your Man Cave
TriStar Bin Cleaning is committed to protecting the oasis that is the Man Cave. So wipe the sawdust off the fridge that used to be in your kitchen and now acts as a centerpiece for your man cave, sign up for a bin cleaning subscription and be proud to invite the whole cul-de-sac over to watch your team lose in overtime. Your favorite team stinks! So what! Your trash bin doesn’t, and THAT makes YOU a winner.
The Trash Can
What is the proper name of the wheeled trash can we roll out to the curb? It depends on your location. Some common terms are dustbin, garbage can, and trash can. The words "rubbish", "basket" and "bin" are more common in British English usage, while "trash" and "can" are more common in American English usage. Other names used around the world include, Trash Cart, Garbage Pail, Litter Bin, Wheelie Bin, Rubbish Bin, Dust Bin, Toter Bin, Waste Can, Waste Bin.
Bugs, Really?
We can’t completely eliminate insects and germs from our lives, but there are a number of things that we can do to protect our families and pets from unnecessary exposure to these potentially harmful things. Regularly cleaning and sanitizing your trash bins and recycle bins is one of the best ways to remove the food source and begin the process of eliminating them from our living spaces.
Do.It.Right.
Whatever you are doing, even if you are just cleaning your garbage cans, you will never regret doing it right. Doing it right eliminates the need to do it over (and often still get poor results).
What’s Really Inside Your Trash Can?
If we think about our trash can as an extension of our home, we begin to think differently about keeping them cleaner, but there hasn’t been a good trash can cleaning option for the home, until now.
