TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Most people are used to taking out the trash, but not actually cleaning the bins.
I knew I could handle this challenge, so I had to give it a try on this week’s Hiring Heidi.
“These are already hot,” I said. “These are so hot.”
Sunstate Can Cleaners are a locally owned mobile trash can cleaning business in Tucson. They gave me the opportunity to get hired, or fired.
“It's not too bad,” I said. “It's not too horrible.”
Now it is time to lift these bad boys up and prepare for cleaning. They were heavy, but I barely broke a sweat.
Now that the trash was dumped out, it was time to get the cleaning machine going.
I had the most difficult task in the cleaning process, turning the nozzle.
“Oh ah oh my god,” I said. “That’s so hard.” I didn't expect turning a nozzle to be the most challening part of the day.
The machine was steam cleaning the bins thoroughly, getting all the nasty remnants out.
When that was done I brought the bins back down, so I could power wash the outside of the bins.
“Oh this is fun,” I said.
When I was done I rolled them back to the curb.
My final task was making sure the bins smelled good, finishing them off with some fragrance.
“So I was just here trying my hand at being a bin cleaner, Sunstate Can Cleaners are you hiring or firing Heidi?”
“From the way they look, you're hired!”
“Cool! They smell good right?”
This job reminded me that I should probably clean out my own bins at home.
