Oroville · Thermalito · Palermo
All three Recology carts. Actually clean.
Unsanitized trash bins cause filthy odors, bacteria, mold, fungus, and attract unwanted pests and rodents. Oroville Trashcans uses environmentally safe products to keep unwanted issues away from your cans.
- Wash and degrease
- Eco-safe deodorizer
- Environmentally safe products
- No contract
Why the cans smell
Oroville’s green cart is a biology experiment.
Recology’s 3-cart program put food scraps in the green organics bin. In 100° valley heat that lid becomes a hatchery. A garden hose just bathes the bacteria. We wash, degrease, and deodorize.
- Filthy odors, bacteria, mold, and fungus
- Flies, maggots, and rodents working the rim
- Juice leaking onto the driveway after pickup

Questions
Do you clean all three Recology carts?
Yes. Oroville’s mandatory 3-cart service is gray (landfill), blue (recycling), and green (organics). Most neighbors book the 3-cart package because the green organics cart is the one that actually smells.
How do the volume discounts work?
Cart count first: $30 for one, $40 for two, $50 for the Recology set. Quarterly is 10% off that rate. Bi-yearly is 20% off.
When do you come?
The day of, or the day after, your Recology pickup — once the carts are empty. We text the night before and again when we’re done, with before-and-after photos.
How do you clean the bins?
We wash, degrease, and deodorize the interior, lid, and rim with environmentally safe products. No bleach dumped in the gutter.
About
Keeping the streets clean.
We wanted to provide this service to keep the streets clean. Oroville Trashcans sanitizes the carts California now requires you to fill with food waste — so the green bin doesn’t turn your driveway into a compost pile.
The work is simple: show up after Recology has emptied the carts, wash and degrease, deodorize with an environmentally safe product, and send before-and-after photos.
We price the three-cart set as the default because that’s how the City of Oroville franchises collection. Paying per lonely landfill cart while the green organics bin sits there is how neighbors stay disappointed.
No contracts. Pause or cancel before the next stop. Commercial enclosures, HOAs, and dumpsters get their own rate so the math matches the minutes on site.
