FAQs

Here at The Bin Men it's mandatory for credit cards to be kept on file for recurring packages. 


​Once you have selected your subscription, please understand you have been scheduled in our system for that specific subscription for a rolling period of (12) months or 12 visits. Please understand that a $150 Early termination fee will be assessed if subscription is broken since we fill our scheduling spot per customer. At which point you have the option to reach out to our office at 240-348-4486 for further assistance. Late fees may take effect if payments are not made.


If you break your subscription you are still obligated to pay, and will be charged for the remaining visits that is left on our schedule. 


​Unfortunately you are not able to downgrade your service as we process bookings by demand. Furthermore, please understand that if you book our recurring subscriptions you have to have at least 6 months, this will be scheduled as such. Please do not book monthly with intent to have services rendered one time to avoid the one-time charge daily amount. If you cancel your second servicing because you only wanted one time, you will be assessed the remainder portion of what would have been the correct amount including amount for deodorizer and ULV treatment. Please understand The Bin Men practice fair consumer treatment, and expect the same from our customers.

(ex. if you were to book a bi-weekly and then tried to switch to a bi-monthly, this will warrant a termination and breach of your existing agreement.

It is an automated system with no guarantees. Just notify us if you are not receiving the reminder or would like to change/add a phone or email notification. Since the reminder is a courtesy and it is your responsibility to have the trash bins available for cleaning.

The Bin Men's bin cleaning service come to your neighborhood either once each month, or bi-weekly per your scheduled appointment. There's no need for you to be at home. Just leave the EMPTY trash bin, totters, or cans, which you scheduled service for at the curb. The Bin Men will clean, deodorize and sanitize the trash bins right at your curb. Also please be advised, first time customers bins are SANITIZED thoroughly, but keep in mind, it depends on the severity and conditions of customer bins. We will clean to the best of our ability. This is why we RECOMMEND monthly servicing on trash bins.

No. You can order one or as many as you would like. All pricing is per trash bin. This is also true after a one time trash cleaning ​if you elect to continue the service on a monthly basis.


Yes. However, it is highly recommended to utilize our monthly package as the cost is slightly higher because trash bins, which are not being cleaned regularly, will take much longer to clean. 

​Please note: Our technicians will try their very best to get your trash bins clean. However, there is no guarantee all the grime and buildup will be removed with a one time cleaning. Depending on the amount and type of buildup on the trash bins and how long ago since they were last cleaned, your trash bins could require more than a one time clean. For this reason we offer a monthly payment option exclusively to our one time customers. After the one time clean you can elect to continue the service each month, with the monthly payment option. 


Sorry but no. Each container has its own identification and only trash bins that have a scheduled service will be cleaned.  

Monthly payment customers can add a bin for $19.99 /bin cleaning by notifying us prior to the service date.

You can leave your trash bins up by the garage, the side of the house, or anywhere where we can reasonably have access to them without needing to walk inside an enclosure. We will return them to that same spot when we finish our work. We will only go behind a gate if you give us authorization to do so.

In addition, you can give us the contact information to the HOA Board and/or Manager and we will discuss the situation with them to see if we might be able to come up with a solution that can make allowance for a possible exception during The Bin Men's service day. Many HOA’s work with us once they understand the health and aesthetic benefits to the community. We have negotiated with HOAs to serve their entire community at discounted rates.
