You scrub your counters. You mop your floors. But your trash can?
Odds are, it’s a biohazard waiting to happen — literally.

At Pro-MTC Trash Can Cleaning, we’ve cleaned thousands of cans across Southern Utah, and let us tell you…
We’ve seen it all. Maggot colonies, mold blooms, mystery sludge — you name it. So today, we’re revealing five secrets hiding inside most residential trash cans — and how to fight back like a pro.

1. Your Trash Can is a Bacterial Breeding Ground

Even if you bag your trash, residual gunk leaks through micro-tears and settles at the bottom.
From there? Salmonella, E. coli, and listeria can fester, especially in the Southern Utah heat.

Pro Tip: Use a trash bag with reinforced leak guards and always close your lid tight.

2. Smells That Linger Can Attract Pests

Rodents and bugs don’t care that your can is outside. If there’s a smell trail, they’ll find it.

Pro Tip: Sprinkle baking soda or activated charcoal in the base of your can weekly to absorb odors. But don’t stop there — deep cleaning is key.

3. Your Hose Isn’t Helping

Blasting your can with a garden hose feels like a win… but it’s just spreading bacteria around your driveway. And the runoff? It flows into storm drains — polluting local water sources.

Pro Tip: Let professionals use high-heat, high-pressure cleaning with eco-safe products. It’s safer for your home and the environment.

4. Every Can Has a “Maggot Season”

Flies can lay hundreds of eggs in just one day — and they love warm, sticky trash cans.

Pro Tip: After your bin is professionally cleaned, line the bottom with a dryer sheet or bay leaves to naturally repel flies.

5. Clean Cans = Healthier Homes

Every time you touch your bin lid, you’re potentially tracking bacteria back into your house, onto your doorknobs, or even inside your car.

Pro Tip: Sanitize your can handles weekly with a bleach solution (or better yet, let us handle it monthly).

Final Thought: Don’t Let Your Trash Can Be the Dirtiest Thing on Your Property

You take pride in your lawn, your home, your space — don’t let your garbage cans ruin the impression.
