Question 1

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

One bin is $79 for a one-time clean, $65 per clean on the quarterly plan, or $39 a month on the monthly plan. Two bins are $99 one-time, $85 per clean quarterly, or $59 a month. It is just $1 to book online; the rest is charged after your bins are clean. Have 3 or more bins, dumpsters, or a commercial location? Request a quick custom quote.

Question 2

What does a cleaning include?

Accepted Answer

We pressure-wash the inside and outside of each bin with 200°F water that blasts away stuck-on grime and kills 99.9% of germs, then we deodorize so it actually smells fresh, not just masked. Every job ends with a before/after photo texted straight to you.

Question 3

Do I need to be home?

Accepted Answer

No. As long as your bins are at the curb on your scheduled day, we handle the rest. You never have to lift a finger or touch a dirty can.

Question 4

When do you come?

Accepted Answer

We come on your trash day, right after the truck empties your bins. That timing means your cans are empty for the deep clean and you set it once and forget it.

Question 5

What if I don't know my hauler or trash day?

Accepted Answer

No problem. Tell us your address and we'll help you figure out your hauler and pickup day so we show up at exactly the right time.

Question 6

Where does the dirty water go?

Accepted Answer

It's captured in our self-contained tank and disposed of properly in the sanitary sewer, never into the street or storm drain. Keeping Lincoln's waterways clean is part of the job.

Question 7

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Lincoln and the surrounding towns, anywhere within about 30 minutes of our shop. Enter your address when you book and we'll confirm you're in our service area in seconds.

Question 8

How does the $1 deposit work?

Accepted Answer

A $1 deposit holds your spot when you book online. The balance for your clean is charged after the work is done and your before/after photo is sent, so you only pay in full once the job is complete.

Question 9

Can I cancel or change my plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, anytime. Recurring plans are no-contract, so you can pause, reschedule, or cancel whenever you need to. Just reach out and we'll take care of it.

Question 10

Do you clean recycling and yard-waste carts too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Trash, recycling, compost, or yard-waste carts, any curbside bin counts. Pick 1 bin or 2 bins when you book, or request a quote if you have more.

Question 11

Why bother cleaning my trash cans?

Accepted Answer

Bins are warm, dark, and full of food residue, which is exactly what bacteria, mold, and pests love. Over time that means odors, flies, maggots, and germs like E. coli and listeria living a few feet from your garage door. A regular clean keeps all of that out of your home.

Question 12

Are you a local business?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lincoln Bins is locally owned and operated, right here in Lincoln. We capture and dispose of wastewater properly and treat every property like our own, and recurring plans are no-contract so you can cancel anytime.
