How to Clean Your Garbage Cart

City garbage carts are built to last, but you might notice the summer heat making them smellier than usual. And if you’ve noticed, we guarantee the collection crews have too! Carts are easy to clean using items you have around the house and without getting yourself too messy: Use a hose with a sprayer attachment to rinse it out. You can turn the cart on its side to spray it out.  Make a cleaning solution inside the cart. You can use dish soap and distilled vinegar. Fill the bottom of the cart with a couple inches of water. This should generate bubbles and give you some soapy water to work with without wasting too much water. Scrub the inside walls of the container using a broom, long-handled scrub brush, or mop. You can scrub the outside of the cart too. Rinse the cartand turn it on its side to drain. Leave the lid off the cart and allow it to dry, ideally in the sun. Keep it cleaner by bagging all trash and sealing the bags. To report damaged carts, please contact Metro311.
