Why Blackhawk carts get attention sooner
In a community with high standards for appearance, the trash cart is often the only thing nobody cleans.
Carts stand out
Homeowners keep up their landscaping, driveways and exteriors. On pickup day, three dirty plastic carts sit at the end of the drive.
Second homes and rentals
When the owner is rarely on site, residue builds up across tenancies. Tenants do not expect to stay, and the owner never looks inside.
The green cart
It gets the dirtiest of the three, as it does everywhere: food scraps sit for a week in Tri-Valley heat, and residue stays after collection.
HOA programs
Boards often prefer to arrange cleaning community-wide rather than leaving it to individual owners. We quote either way.

Germs grow fast in a trash bin because it is warm, wet, and full of food.
Food scraps, packaging juices and trapped moisture feed a mix of bacteria, mold and yeast. Most of it is invisible. These are the organisms commonly linked to household food waste, and where they come from.
Our research found six germs commonly linked to household food waste. Tap one to see where it comes from and why it matters.
E. coli
BacteriaComes from raw meat, produce scraps and pet waste.
Most strains are harmless, but some cause serious stomach illness.
Listeria
BacteriaComes from deli meats, soft cheeses and smoked fish.
It keeps growing in cold, damp places where most bacteria slow down.
Staph
Bacteria, Staphylococcus aureusComes from used tissues, paper towels and hands on the lid.
Can cause skin infections and spreads by touch.
Mold
Fungi, e.g. Aspergillus, PenicilliumComes from bread, fruit and damp cardboard.
It causes the musty smell. Its spores can trigger allergies.
Yeast
Fungi, e.g. CandidaComes from sugary drinks, fruit and dairy.
It feeds on sugar and adds a sour, fermented smell to bin odor.
Blackhawk FAQ
How much does trash can cleaning cost in Blackhawk?
A first cleaning in Blackhawk is $49 for one bin, $69 for two and $89 for three. After that, scheduled cleaning is charged per visit starting at $39, or you can book one-time cleanings at $79, $89 or $109. Prices are the same in every town we serve. See all prices.
Do you clean garbage cans and green carts?
Yes. Whether you call it a trash bin, trash can, garbage can, or garbage bin, we clean all three curbside carts: landfill, recycling, and green organics.
Do you work with Blackhawk HOAs?
Yes. We clean for individual homeowners, HOAs, and property managers. For community programs or multiple properties, text CLEAN to get a quote.
How do you handle gate access?
Text us your community’s access details when you book, and we’ll follow your community’s procedures.
Where does the dirty water go?
We capture it. In Contra Costa County, only rain is allowed down the storm drain.
Can our HOA arrange cleaning for the whole community?
Yes. Community-wide programs are quoted rather than priced from the table, because cart counts, access, and scheduling vary. Text CLEAN with the number of homes or carts and we will put a proposal together.
Do you clean carts at a property we rent out?
Yes, and turnover is a sensible time to do it. Carts at rental properties are typically the least maintained on any street, because responsibility sits between the tenant and the owner.
Do you need to be escorted on the property?
No. We work at the curb while the carts are empty and we are gone within minutes of arriving. We only need whatever your gate requires for entry.
