What is dumpster pad cleaning?

2 min read

Dumpster pad cleaning is the pressure washing of the concrete pad and enclosure walls around a dumpster. The pad collects spills and grease that stain and smell long after the dumpster itself is emptied.

What it covers

A pad cleaning pressure washes the concrete the dumpster sits on along with the pony walls and enclosure around it. It can be done on its own, or paired with cleaning the dumpster itself for the whole area.

Why the pad matters

Even a clean dumpster sits on a pad that soaks up leaks, grease, and food liquid. Left alone, the pad stains, smells, and draws pests, so cleaning it keeps the whole trash area presentable, not just the bin.
