Summerland, BC
Nobody has offered this in Summerland before — the nearest bin cleaner is in Penticton. We run it as neighbourhood routes, which is the only way a cart clean can cost $25 a cart instead of a trip charge. It runs on a monthly plan through the season, so you set it up once and never think about it again.
$25 a cart a visit.Why now
That is not a sales line, it is what the other companies publish about themselves.
The strongest operator in the valley writes its own boundary on its home page — Kelowna, and it says so plainly. The next one lists Kelowna and West Kelowna. The closest service of any kind is down in Penticton. None of them comes up the hill, and the reason is not that Summerland does not want clean bins: it is that one house in Trout Creek is a forty-minute round trip for about twenty dollars.
A route fixes that and nothing else does. Twenty carts on one street is the same driving as one cart, which is why the price below is what it is — and why the only thing we ask of you is that you let us come on the day we are already on your road.
What happens
The District empties your cart in the morning. We clean it after that, while it is empty and already at the curb. That is the only few hours in the fortnight when this is a two-minute job, which is exactly why it is affordable.
The cart is at the road. We clean it there and put it back. Nothing to let us in for, nothing to be around for, no window to wait in.
The whole cart, not a rinse of the outside. The inside is where the smell lives and it is the part a hose in the driveway never reaches properly.
The price
No quote, no visit to price it up, no invoice afterwards. The number below is the number.
| Price | What it is | |
|---|---|---|
| First clean — deep | $40 per cart | The one that takes the work. Hot water, inside, outside, lid and wheels, and the smell goes with it. |
| Monthly plan — each cart | $25 per visit | Every four weeks through the season, on your own collection day. Cart out, cart cleaned, nothing to remember and nothing to rebook. |
| Each extra cart, same visit | $10 per visit | Grey, blue and green at the same stop. The truck is already there, so this is the cheap one. |
Most Summerland houses have all three District carts — grey, blue and green. The second and third are $10 each because the truck is already outside, so a full set is $45 a visit. March to November, 18 visits — nothing is charged over the winter. Full price list.
How it stays cheap
A route rolls out at 12 carts booked on one neighbourhood, and runs properly at around 20.
So when you book, you are joining a route rather than making an appointment. If your neighbourhood is already running you get a date straight away. If it is still filling, we hold your place and confirm the date as soon as it fills — and if it never does, you get every dollar back automatically after 60 days. No email to send, no arguing.
