Freshly washed gray, blue, and green Recology carts at a Northern California curb

Oroville · Thermalito · Kelly Ridge · South Oroville · Wyandotte · 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?

Price is per clean, set by cart count: $30 for one cart, $40 for two, $50 for the Recology set of three, then $10 for each extra cart with no limit (4 carts $60, 5 carts $70, 6 carts $80, 7 carts $90). Monthly and one-time cleans are that rate. Quarterly (one clean every 3 months) is 10% off ($45 for three carts), and bi-yearly (one clean every 6 months) is 20% off ($40 for three). Street packs (4–9 homes on the same pickup day) take another 15% off after the plan discount, so a $45 quarterly clean becomes $38.25. HOAs and apartments are quoted per property.

How do I pay?

You pay after each clean, by Venmo or cash, and there’s no sales tax.

When do you come?

On your Recology pickup day — right after the truck empties the carts. 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.

Three clean Recology carts — gray, blue, and green — at the curb in front of a house

The work is simple: show up the same day Recology empties 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.
