Dumpster Area & Pad Cleaning FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do businesses need professional dumpster cleaning?

Local health and sanitation codes require dumpster pads and enclosures be kept odor-free, grease-free, and clean to prevent pests, hazards, and code violations. Dirty dumpster areas can attract rodents, spread disease, risk slip-&-fall liability, and drive away customers. Squeegeez ensures your business is healthy, safe, and always inspection ready!

How often should my dumpster area be cleaned?

Most commercial properties (especially restaurants, grocery, and food services) should schedule monthly or bi-monthly cleanings, but many cities/counties require pads be kept clean at all times. Regular cleaning stops the build-up of greases and grime before they become a major problem.

What surfaces do you clean?

We clean all dumpster pads, enclosures, fence walls, dumpsters, surrounding concrete, and “flatwork” walkways—including those slippery greasy lanes between the kitchen or backdoor and the dumpster area. We specialize in restoring stained or greasy pads to a bright, odor-free condition.

Do you use hot water pressure washing?

Yes! We use professional hot water power washing and high-strength, biodegradable degreasers to cut through the toughest oils, food waste, and organic residues safely and effectively.

How will regular dumpster cleaning help my business?

Regular dumpster pad cleaning eliminates odors, reduces pest/insect attraction, prevents slip-and-fall injuries, and keeps you in full compliance with local codes—saving money on fines and liability while making a great impression with inspectors and customers.

Which businesses benefit from dumpster pad cleaning?

Restaurants, grocery stores, retail centers, apartment or condo complexes, medical facilities, schools, churches, gas stations, and any business with a dumpster or trash enclosure. We also help property managers and HOAs maintain clean, healthy grounds.

What are the local codes for dumpster cleaning?

Dumpster areas must remain clean and odor-free according to:

  • Leesburg: Code Sec. 26-153 – Dumpster areas must be kept clean and free from grease/refuse accumulations.
  • The Villages/Sumter: Ch. 18-61 – Trash/dumpster areas must not create odors or attract pests; must be maintained and cleaned.
  • Lake County: Sec. 15-52 – All exterior refuse areas must be maintained to prevent nuisance or pest conditions.
  • Marion County: Ch. 7 – Garbage must be in clean containers; areas under/around must be free of odors and accumulation.
We can provide documentation of cleaning and “last cleaned” signage to satisfy code inspectors and health officials.

Do you provide cleaning certificates or signage?

Yes! We offer a cleaning log/certificate and can install “Last Serviced” signs in your dumpster area—so your staff and inspectors know you’re proactive about cleanliness and safety.

Are your services safe for the environment?

Absolutely. We use EPA-compliant, biodegradable cleaners and hot water systems. Runoff is carefully managed to avoid stormwater contamination, protecting the environment and your business.
