How Bayou Bins Helped 200+ Lafayette Families Get Odor-Free Bins
If you’ve ever walked past your trash can and thought, “What is that smell?!” – you’re definitely not alone. Here in Lafayette, where the heat and humidity can turn even the cleanest neighborhoods into a breeding ground for bacteria and bad odors, keeping your outdoor trash bins clean is more than just a nice-to-have – it’s a necessity.
But here’s the good news: over 200 Lafayette families have already discovered a cleaner, easier solution. They trusted Bayou Bins to help them get rid of stubborn bin odors for good – and you can, too.
Let’s dig into how we’ve helped our neighbors across Acadiana clean up their curb appeal and why trash can cleaning is one of the most underrated (but most appreciated) home services out there.

Why Trash Bin Cleaning Matters – Especially in Lafayette
Let’s be real: Lafayette summers are no joke. We deal with intense humidity, high temperatures, and the kind of stormy weather that makes mold and bacteria multiply faster than you can say “gumbo.”
Add in leftover food scraps, yard waste, and pet waste, and you’ve got a perfect storm for smelly, bacteria-filled bins. And if you’ve got kids, pets, or a nose sensitive to bad smells – it’s even worse.
But this isn’t just about odor. Dirty bins can harbor harmful germs like E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria – the kinds of bacteria you definitely don’t want lingering around your home.
Here’s where professional trash bin cleaning steps in.
How Bayou Bins Cleans and Sanitizes Bins the Right Way
We’re not just hosing out your bin and calling it a day. Our process uses 190°F high-pressure hot water, eco-friendly cleaning agents, and specialized equipment that’s designed to sanitize, not just rinse.
The Bayou Bins 3-Step Process:
- Curbside Pickup – You leave your bins out on your trash day. We come to you – no need to be home.
- Deep Clean & Sanitize – Our self-contained cleaning unit lifts your bins, pressure-washes them inside and out, and eliminates 99.9% of germs.
- Deodorize & Return – We apply an eco-safe deodorizer and place your bins back curbside, fresh and clean.
It’s fast, safe, environmentally friendly – and it works.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does your trash can cleaning service include?
Our trash bin cleaning service is designed to make your trash and recycle bins look, smell, and feel fresh again. We use a self contained cleaning unit that sprays hot, high-pressure water to wash and sanitize your bins inside and out. The process removes harmful bacteria like E. coli and salmonella, along with dirt, germs, and other grime. After your trash cans are cleaned and disinfected, we deodorize them for a fresh scent that lasts. All dirty water is collected in the unit so nothing ends up on your driveway or lawn.
How often should I get my trash and recycle bins cleaned?
Most customers choose our monthly service or bi monthly plan to keep their bins in great shape all year long. Regular cleaning prevents smelly buildup, removes potentially harmful bacteria, and helps your bins stay looking good. You can also select a one time cleaning if you just want to try it out or need a deep clean before switching to a routine schedule.
Do I need to be home when you come for service?
Nope! You don’t have to be home. Just make sure your bins are empty and placed at the curb on your scheduled day. Our team will handle the rest. Once the cleaning is complete, you’ll get a notice that your trash bins have been cleaned, sanitized, and deodorized.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the cleaning process take?
It usually takes just a few minutes per bin. Our self contained cleaning unit does all the work quickly and efficiently — spraying, disinfecting, and freshening your bins right at the curb. You’ll be amazed at how clean they look in no time.
Is the water and cleaning solution safe for my home and family?
Yes! We only use eco-friendly products that are safe for your family, pets, and the environment. The dirty water and debris are fully contained in our truck, never left on your property. This means no runoff, no residue, and no risk of infected or contaminated parts touching your yard or driveway.
Do you offer residential and commercial services?
Yes, we provide both. Our residential services cover everything from one cleaning to ongoing monthly service for your home’s trash cans and recycle bins. We also provide commercial services for businesses that use dumpsters or have multiple bins. Whether you’re managing a business or a household, we can help you choose the right service package for your needs.u
