    Yes, your service plan will automatically renew at the start of each year. This ensures that you continue to receive uninterrupted trash bin cleaning services without having to worry about re-enrolling.

  • Can I cancel my service plan?

    Absolutely! You can cancel your service at any time. We just ask that you provide us with a notice 30 days prior to your next scheduled service. This gives us time to process your request and stop any future cleanings.
