This is the only game in town if you wanted to clean your trash, recycling and green waste cans in Orange/Villa Park area. Mark Bradley is definitely knowledgeable and well-spoken. I opted for the annual plan for the 3 largest capacity cans. It was a bit pricey at $315/year for every 4th Friday of the month. I guess if you have a high pressure washer nozzle, you can do this yourself. But something about someone coming every month with their mobile, custom-fitted, brand-wrapped vehicle that makes you feel that they can do a better job at $8.75 a can per month. There's also a faint citrus scent that they put into the water as a finisher. They give you a reminder call the day before, but Villa Park is always the 4th Fri of the month. read more

Here's a polished version that keeps the focus on the experience without overstating the facts: I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was incredibly disappointing. I scheduled Clean A Can to clean our trash bins on a Saturday. They sent me the invoice, and I paid it immediately. They told me they would likely be in our area early and usually start around 7:00 a.m. The cleaning itself wasn't the only reason I booked them. My kids had seen trash bin cleaning trucks on TV and were so excited to finally see one in person. We spent the morning waiting for the truck to arrive, and they kept asking when it would get here. It never did. There was no phone call, no text, and no email letting us know they weren't coming. I tried calling, but their office was closed on Saturdays, so there was no way to reach anyone. I completely understand that schedules change and unexpected issues come up, but a complete no-show with zero communication is extremely unprofessional. It's now Tuesday, and I still haven't heard a single word from the company. No explanation, no apology, no attempt to reschedule, and no refund. From my perspective, they took my payment and disappeared. The trash bins still needed to be cleaned, but what disappointed me most was having to explain to my excited kids why the truck they had been looking forward to never showed up. If communication and reliability matter to you, my experience with Clean A Can was very disappointing. read more

They no longer show up, answer calls or messages. They've disappeared on their customers with zero communication.

They are doing a great job once again! They came back on line and arrive as scheduled and are very reliable.

Since Clean-A-Can was sold to new owners, the service has been a disaster. I had an annual subscription. They never called me about renewing and just canceled our service. When we called to re-subscribe, they promised they would come to clean the cans on a date in the following week. They never came and cleaned our cans. read more

Always on time, professional, thorough. I've been a customer for at least 15 years. If you're going to be out of town on their cleaning day, just let them know via text or phone, and they credit your account for an extra visit. Highly recommended. read more

The service is okay, but scheduling is a nightmare, and customer service is nonexistent. When I found a better service, Clean-A-Can refused to let me cancel. I have tried to cancel my service nearly a dozen times via phone, email, and letter, all to no avail. They are still charging my card (without consent), so now I have to cancel my card just to make it stop. This place is a scam. Run far away. read more

Something is definitely up with this company. I haven't had a recent charge but I also haven't had service (I prepay annually) since the winter holidays. No reminder calls and no cleaning. Concerned the business is failed or something has happened to the ownership. They were nice enough and did a good job for us for many years. Have left at least 6 messages, no response. read more

We've been using Clean-a-Can for a couple of years. We pay annually for the monthly service. Great service up until January 0f 2024. They didn't show up in January or February. They did show up in March and I went out to talk to the guy. He didn't speak English, but he was surprised when I switched to Spanish. He gave me the name and telephone number of his supervisor. I talked with the supervisor who said a key employee left the company and they are playing catchup. He said he would make up for the past two months. They did show up in April and I am waiting to see if they show up next week for my May service. read more

How is everyone's service of late? I would reviewed them good up until about 4 months ago when they stopped coming. They do not return phone calls but have my money. read more

Oh my GOSH! I just had these guys come for the first time, as I signed up for a years service. I can't tell you how ridiculously happy I am over clean cans! I'm telling you, my organics was the most vile, nastiest thing on this planet! And these guys got it like brand new in one shot! Look at the pic i attached of the inside! And they smell And the workers were super nice, smiling and friendly! Im over the top please with this company! Highly recommend!!!! Update: I just renewed my annual service contract a month or so ago. I love getting my nasty cans cleaned monthly! They have never missed a day, and all but one time , they've done an excellent, thorough cleaning. We have pet waste, compost, and lots of trash. And, the guys are always friendly and wave hello! read more

Best decision I ever made. Yes, my husband (or myself for that matter) can hose out the cans. But I always end up nagging himand it gets put off and put off. For the small price of this service, I pay annually, it's well worth it to not be a nag! They come the day after regular trash pick up. The leave you a VM reminder on trash day. Easy Peasy! I recommend them all the time. read more

I was thrilled to find that this company existed and cleaning trash cans was a "thing". We have 2 large dogs and a household of people so we produce a lot of trash.... perishable trash that smells... bad. At times we have had food which circles through life (gross) with maggots and flies which means my cans often sit on the curb for 24 hrs waiting for the hubs to get home and pull them in. i figured why not give this service a try. I mean there is no way in hell I am going to wash them myself.... ever. My husband laughed at me .... but I am now a fan! I couldn't believe when I saw this guy fully immersed into the can cleaning the bottom solidified grossness. The best part? The can smelled clean. I swear! Like friggen Fabioso clean. I am sold. Their pricing structure is affordable and I love the no pressure options. This service is typically not one you look for, but when found .. you can't live without. read more

These guys are professional and accommodating to your svhedule. They work with you for the best price! I look forward to getting my trash cans cleaned by them every time. read more

I have used this device for years. A truck comes out once a month and clean/sanitizes your trash cans. The people that work in the trucks do a great job. I highly recommend. read more

They've disappeared! Used to provide great service but now they are MIA. I've left 4 messages. No response. Too bad.

They stopped showing up a couple months ago. I called this past month to confirm I was on the schedule. Still did not receive the automated message that is supposed to go out as a reminder. I called the day of as well in the afternoon since they had historically been by in the morning. They could not give me an estimated time. They then never showed up - for a third month in a row. It is unfortunate because I liked their service but it is unreliable :( read more

Please cancel my service immediately Stood up again. I received VM call that service would come on Saturday June 18 waited all day, you know the 12-hour window, yeah right. It is now Sunday June 19 2:37 again no service Please cancel my Mr Clean-a-Can service I sent you all an email, I texted with photo of uncleaned trash bins and I called an left vm today at about 2:22 PM today Over the last two years it's every other month I have to chase down the service - I am over it. Cancel my service and contact me you have cancelled the service formally. read more

I think i have been using Mr. Clean-A -Can service for over 8 years, or more. It was a game changer since. No more smelly trash cans especially during hot summer months. If my trash cans could talk, they would be saying how they always look forward to the second Tuesday of every month!!! Some 8 plus years later, they still offer the same professional service. Now that the company has gotten bigger and more popular, the owner/ manager is still very polite and helpful whenever i call him for concerns (which is also very rare) . I refer them to my neighbors because i know they too would appreciate the service offer by Clean-A-Can should they know. So, if you are unsure, give them a call. Your trash cans will thank you, especially your husband. Mine did!!! read more

Has been great service since we started 3 or so years ago. In January 2024, something changed in the business. We were charged for Feb, no service was received and no one is returning our calls. I'll update the stars once resolved. read more

This company is ridiculous! Stood up 4 times!!! They never called back to apologize nor reply to my voice mail. For the first two times, I can understand if they didn't receive my online orders (this is what he claimed when I called). However, 2 days after, this mark guy called and asked us to take the trash cans out since his driver can come that day to clean it. So I took the trash cans out, waited to until 10 am but still no one came.  I called Mark but went to voicemail. I left a messgae but he never called back.  Since I really needed the trash cans cleaned, the next week, I called Mark again and asked if he can come. He told me ok and they will come that day but he didn't show up once AGAIN!!! They never called back explained why they didnt show. I really had enough for this company. Luckily, I was able to find another cleaning company. This kind of service is rare in my area.  I guess this is why he has such bad business attitude. read more

Great experience. I was looking at my nasty trash cans thinking I need to do something about it. I scheduled online and Clean-A-Can came the same day. I got home from work and check the cans. Those cans were at clean at they can get. Well worth the money and at a fair price. I will be using this service in the future. Highly recommend. read more

Let's be honest, they're not 100% on the ball with their billing and sometimes the routes get messed up, but the world isn't a perfect place and if it was we wouldn't need trash can cleaning, am I right? I signed up in Huntington Beach 6 yrs ago and occasionally they change the day of service but guess what, if my cans aren't clean, I call and they resolve the service issue, no hassel, pretty simply fix. It's nice having clean fresh smelling trash cans, so yeah it's not perfect but what is? For all the one star haters, you probably complain about everything anyway so you're reviews are most likely disingenuous at best or hate at worst. In closing, clear your cans yourself, pay someone else to do the dirty work or be the person with stinky dirty cans, your choice! read more

Oh Clean-A-Can you have made my life so much easier. This is a once a month trash can cleaning service that makes my smelly trash cans smell really nice. We have rabbits and their litter boxes are pretty pungent. I don't know why everyone doesn't use this incredible service that is offered. Pretty much everyone in my neighborhood has this service. You basically leave your cans out the day after your scheduled trash pick up and they will clean and deodorize your stinky trash cans. I wish this was available when my kids were in the smelly diaper phase. This service is a game changer. Happy Yelping! read more

Clean a can? Who knew? So blessed by this service! We are a very full house so our trash cans see a lot. I'm no longer afraid to touch the trash bins or take them in or out from the curb. Service? Excellent! Easy to schedule, easy communication, easy throughout the whole process. I love how I set the cans out on trash day, when I brought them in they were clean. So convenient. No extra work on our end. Clean? So clean. No smell, no gunk ANYWHERE! Looked brand new. So impressed. I sadly wasn't home when they came I would've lived to thank them in person. Also would've loved to get pictures of them cleaning. Thank you for your service Clean a Can!!! Will be using you again! Give them a call, you'll be thankful you did! read more

I reached out to Mark in December to set up service for my dads house as this was a Christmas gift for a full year of trash can cleaning service! Awesome right? Until the first time they did not show up, second time they had to come the next day and today called but NO SHOW AGAIN! I can't get ahold of anyone, everytime I do get in contact it's a "tech issue" or an "accounting issue" HOW HARD IS IT TO PROVIDE A SERVICE SOMEONE IS WILLING TO PAY FOR. I have emailed, left voicemails, calls, texts. No response back. But they sure are ok with billing me. If I could give 0 stars I would. I am so disappointed read more

This service is unprofessional and unreliable. Upon calling to inquire about their service, I made it clear I was hesitant because of the many many bad reviews saying customers would pay and then they would not show up. The man on the phone assured me that would not happen and took my credit card information. He said the would clean on Wednesday because they were scheduled for my area. THEY NEVER SHOWED UP. AVOID this service. I've been calling and calling with no call back. Save yourself the headache and go with a different service even if it's pricier. read more

Awesome company! I had signed up for the one time service to get my trash cans cleaned and was so pleased I had them come back out yet again. Amazing price, called the day before to remind me to leave out my cans, showed up on time, and did a great job! I would highly recommend using them! read more

I have needed to get my trash cans cleaned for years. Spoke on Thursday to Mark, set it up for the next day....cleaned and a much more pleasant smell. Thanks so much and will let friends and family know about you. read more

Great company! I definitely recommend giving them a chance! Just leave your cans out once month and they usually come during the morning.

Great service. My trash cans get cleaned once a month and they stay smelling clean the whole month. They also wash the outside of the cans so I do not have to worry about spider webs by the handles and wheels. I would definitely recommend this service. read more

Wow!! It took less than a week from initial contact to cleaning of our 3 bins. The bins stunk and had so much built up residue. They cleaned the bins the day after trash day which was super convenient. The bins are spotless and smell SO good. I highly recommend this company and will use them in the future. It's a service you don't realize how much you need until you have it done. read more

I signed up for clean a can in July. After a week of calling to find out when the service would start, I contacted Mark who confirmed the service would start on the 2nd Thursday of the month beginning in August. He attributed the lack of response from a system glitch. The 2nd Thursday comes around and no one showed up. I called Mark today and he confirmed I was on the route list but due to a system glitch, they didn't come out. Too many glitches for me so I canceled the service. While Mark is nice, there are too many glitches. I requested a refund for what I paid for. read more

Love this service, my trash can smell So fresh after they have been cleaned. They come every time they have been scheduled, I have never had any problems with my service read more

Nothing is better than having a clean trash bin awaiting you when you have to throw out mounds of trash during the week. Clean-a-can throughly cleaned out my disgusting waste bin after the trash bag had a hole in it. Needless to say, my trash bin was worse than a toxic waste dump with maggots and the smell of death every time we had to open the lid. Clean-a-can came to the rescue and made it as good as new! I actually looked forward to tossing my trash out because of the clean fragrance that awaited me each time. read more

Our trash cans smell amazing now! Thank you! Highly recommended! We scheduled an appointment for a free cleaning. They were very prompt - no issues whatsoever. Our trash cans hadn't been cleaned in a while - and their machine did an awesome job cleaning them. Would use again! read more

The cans are cleaned like new. Awesome service. Came on the date that was arranged, and my filthy cans were spotless afterwards. Will definitely use it again. read more

This place is so fabulous! They do a great job cleaning my trash cans. The drivers are very friendly and do a great job of cleaning my trash cans! Definitely recommend this for anyone who does not want to clean their own trashcan!!!!! read more

I love this service. They come once a month and keep our trash cans nice and clean. They call and text to Lmk when they are coming.

At first, it didn't make sense. But after having my cans cleaned I realized that it is a nice service especially if you keep some cans in your garage. Unfortunately I needed to take 2 stars off because I continue to receive monthly reminder robo calls that they are coming to clean my cans and to make sure they are out front. These messages continue despite my cancellation of service and my calls into the business asking to remove me from the call list read more
