Prices
No quote, no visit to price it up, no invoice afterwards. Every house on the street pays the same, because that is what makes a route work.
Plans
Every plan is 18 visits, march to november, on your own District collection day. Nothing is charged over the winter and you can stop any time.
| Plan | Per visit | A season (18 visits) |
|---|---|---|
| One cartThe cart that actually smells, done every four weeks. | $25 | $450 |
| Every cart most housesGarbage every visit, plus whichever of recycling and yard waste is out that week. Over a fortnight that is all three. | $35 | $630 |
| The lotAll three carts, treated so they stay fresh, and put back where they live. | $44 | $792saves $72 against buying it separately |
The first deep clean is $40 a cart on top, once, whichever plan you take. It is a genuinely different job — a cart nobody has ever washed takes about two and a half times as long — so it is a separate line rather than a sign-up fee with a nicer name.
The card
Updated 2026-11-08. Prices are in Canadian dollars and exclude tax.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| First clean — deepThe one that takes the work. Hot water, inside, outside, lid and wheels, and the smell goes with it. | $40per cart, once |
| Monthly plan — each cartEvery four weeks through the season, on your own collection day. Cart out, cart cleaned, nothing to remember and nothing to rebook. | $25per cart, per visit |
| Each extra cart, same visitGrey, blue and green at the same stop. The truck is already there, so this is the cheap one. | $10per cart, per visit |
| We put your carts backCarts wheeled back up and put where they live, not left at the road. One less thing on a day you are not home. | $5per visit |
The thing worth understanding: $10 for an extra cart applies when the carts go out on the same day, because the truck is already outside your house. Carts on different days are separate visits — the booking page groups them for you and shows what each way costs before you pay.
While we are there
These exist because the drive, the park and the set-up are already paid for by the carts. That is the only reason they are worth your money and ours.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Deodoriser treatmentA long-lasting treatment sprayed into the cart after the wash, so it still smells of nothing in three weeks rather than three days. | $4per cart, per visit |
| We put your carts backCarts wheeled back up and put where they live, not left at the road. One less thing on a day you are not home. | $5per visit |
| The pad the carts stand onThe slab or the strip of ground the carts live on, washed down while the wand is already running. | $15per visit |
| July and August top-upTwo extra cleans in the two months it actually matters, on the same route and the same day as always. | $45per cart, two extra visits |
| Commercial dumpster — first cleanThe bin behind a restaurant, a shop or a strata. Pressure washed, degreased and deodorised on site. | $300per bin |
| Commercial dumpster — monthly planEvery four weeks through the season, so it never gets back to where it started. | $95per bin, per visit |
Each of these takes seconds or minutes on a stop we are already making, which is the only reason they cost what they do. We are at your address once, on our own schedule, around your District collection day — so anything that would hold the truck up for an hour is quoted separately rather than bolted onto a route.
The rest of it
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Cart still full on arrivalWe would much rather reschedule you than charge this. | $15per cart |
| Outlying address, route not yet runningFaulder, Meadow Valley and the far end of Garnet Valley, before that route fills. | ask |
| Strata & multi-family | ask |
The full-cart fee is on this page rather than in the small print because it is the one line that takes money for no work. We would far rather move you to the next run, and cleaning on your collection day is precisely how we avoid it — the District has just emptied the cart.
Pressure washing is a genuine question we get asked and the honest answer is: not yet. Summerland already has several good exterior cleaning companies, one of them based right here in town. Bin cleaning is the thing nobody does, so that is what we are doing first.

| Operator | Per cart, per visit | Serves Summerland? |
|---|---|---|
| BinClean BossMonthly plan, 18 visits march to november | $25 | Yes — only us |
| BinClean BossFirst deep clean, once | $40 | Yes |
| Just Bin Cleaned$40 for two carts · April to October | $20.00 | No — Penticton |
| BinClean.ca$90 a visit for up to four carts · 9 visits a year | $22.50 | No — Kelowna & West Kelowna |
| Top Shelf Bin Cleaning$34.99 discounted · $60 / $70 / $85 for 2 / 3 / 4 | $40.00 | No — Kelowna |
| Stinky Bins+$12 per extra cart, +$8 on a plan | $39.00 | No — “Kelowna, for now” |
We are not undercutting anybody, because there is nobody here to undercut. The first clean is $40 — the same figure Kelowna, Penticton and the coast all settled on independently. The monthly price is $25 a cart, which is under every Kelowna operator and above the Penticton one, and it only exists because 12 or more carts get done on one street in one pass.
Read off each operator’s own page on 8 November 2026. Two of them stop for the winter, which is why ours is 18 visits and not twelve — you cannot wash a cart at −10°C, and nobody should be billed in January for a visit that cannot happen.
