What is dumpster pad & trash area cleaning?

Dumpster pad cleaning is the hot-water power washing, degreasing and deodorizing of the concrete pads, enclosures and surrounding areas where commercial dumpsters sit. It removes the grease, food waste and leachate that cause odors, pests, stains and slip hazards. It is part of Midwest Maintenance Services’ commercial power washing service.

Trash areas are the most-ignored part of most commercial properties - until the odor reaches the patio or a health inspector notices. Grease, food waste and leaking bags soak into concrete, attract rodents and flies, and stain everything around them.

Our technicians remove loose debris, then use truck-mounted hot water and high-pressure steam to break down grease and residue, rinse enclosures and gates, and leave the area deodorized. Recurring monthly or seasonal programs keep problems from returning.

This service is part of our Commercial Power Washing program, so it can be scheduled alongside storefront, building and flatwork washing.

Dumpster Pad & Trash Area Cleaning FAQs

How often should a dumpster pad be cleaned?

Restaurants and grocery tenants typically need monthly cleaning, or more often in summer. Office and multifamily properties are often fine with service every few months.

Do you remove grease stains from the concrete?

Hot-water, high-pressure steam cleaning removes most grease and residue. Very old stains may lighten rather than disappear completely; we set expectations after seeing the area.
