Bin Cleaning in Richland, WA

Richland is the only one of the three cities where garbage is collected in-house — the City of Richland Solid Waste Utility runs its own trucks Monday through Friday, year-round, and disposes at the Horn Rapids Landfill on city-owned land north of town. They issue every residence a 96-gallon cart, which is bigger than the Kennewick or Pasco standard — and once it's been baking through a Tri-Cities summer with a week's worth of household waste in it, the smell from a 96-gallon cart has a lot more square footage to hide in.

We clean residential carts across Meadow Springs, Horn Rapids, Queensgate, and the rest of Richland and West Richland. Because the city runs collection on its own schedule, your cleaning day is predictable — we slot our route the day after your pickup so the cart is empty when we get there.

We're family-run and based in the Tri-Cities. Trucks are ours, wastewater leaves with us.

What a Richland visit looks like

We pull up the morning after your city pickup. Your 96-gallon cart goes into the wash bay; 200°F water and biodegradable detergent run high-pressure through spinners that hit every interior wall, the underside of the lid, the rim, and the handle. The outside gets a full wipe-down too — Richland's combination of dust storms off the desert and irrigation overspray leaves a film on the cart body that nothing short of hot water actually removes.

Six minutes per cart. Everything we wash off gets caught on the truck and hauled out — it doesn't go into your yard, your driveway, or the storm drain.

  • Built for the 96-gallon Richland city cart (also handles 64- and 35-gallon)
  • Inside, outside, lid, and handle washed at 200°F
  • Plant-based biodegradable detergent
  • Wastewater captured and hauled — not down your storm drain or driveway
  • Photo proof when we're done
  • Monthly, 8-week, or quarterly — pick what fits

Richland and West Richland neighborhoods we run

Every Richland address has its own day inside the city's Monday-through-Friday collection week — we ask for yours when you sign up and run our cleaning the morning after, every cycle.

West Richland uses Basin Disposal rather than the city utility — schedule is different but the rest of our service is identical, and we already run that route.

Bin Cleaning in Richland — common questions

Does Richland's city utility allow third-party bin cleaning?
Yes. The 96-gallon cart the city issues is yours to use as you like, and the city has no rule against contracting with a third party to clean it. (It's actually the only practical way — the city doesn't offer a cart-washing service.)
How does cleaning work if I'm on the city's M–F pickup schedule?
We match the day after your city pickup. If your collection day is Wednesday, we run Thursday morning — your cart is empty and back in its usual spot by the time we arrive.
How often should I clean a 96-gallon Richland cart?
Bigger carts hide smell longer than smaller ones, which is half the problem — by the time you can smell it from inside the garage, the inside walls are coated. Most Richland households do well on every-other-month October through April, monthly May through September.
Where does the wastewater go?
Back to a permitted facility for proper disposal. It does not go into your storm drain, your lawn, or the Yakima River — Richland's storm system feeds straight there and we'd rather not be part of the problem.
Do you serve Horn Rapids and the north Richland subdivisions?
Yes. We already run a Tuesday/Wednesday route through Horn Rapids and the newer Steptoe Street builds.
