A Delightful Bin Cleaning Disaster in New West 

One day after running a long day of running our garbage bin cleaning service in North Van, somewhere between exhaustion and rush hour, the gas light came on – and then I forgot about it. Now it’s the on-ramp to the Patullo Bridge. Something made me look down – “E”

I barely made the turnoff into the construction zone near all those condos. Imagine running out of gas on the Patullo.

I parked. Took the empty 5-gallon gas can. Ran uphill toward the station on 6th Street. Then back down with five litres of redemption. And somewhere in between wheezing uphill and wondering why I didn’t take better care of myself, I saw it.

North Vancouver Garbage Bin Cleaning Service  -> Bin Cleaning in New West

I’ve always loved New West – similar old style craftsman houses that lord over Grand Boulevard and Lonsdale in North Van where my grandfather built his own house and lived in the 50’s. Cool old houses. Dense little pockets of charm. And bins. So many bins. Rolling carts lined up like soldiers – ignored, filthy, overdue for a clean. It’s a city that deserves great bin cleaning.

Every day, Mr. Can Clean drives through New West and Burnaby. It’s the same route, more or less. And it kills us to pass by so many bins that could use a good solid bin cleaning.

If you live in New West, Burnaby, or Vancouver, and you’ve got bins that smell like old hockey gear and hot compost – we want you to know there’s a better way. A local, dependable garbage bin cleaning service is just sitting here, waiting for your call.

Mr. Can Clean isn’t just a garbage bin cleaning service. It’s what happens when someone takes five years of municipal waste experience – the real stuff, working trucks, real routes, real accountability – and applies it to your front curb.

We weren’t just collecting garbage. We were taking care of people we saw every day. Same streets. Same kids walking to school. Same dogs barking at the truck.

When we started Mr. Can Clean, we brought that mentality with us. We track every job, every stop. Know where we lose the most time? Not on cleaning, not on routing. We lose time because we’re hauling bins up long driveways. Because we stop to chat. Because – just like when I was a garbageman – I work extra hard so I can use all that extra time I’ve earned to pet your dog. This is actually how I ended up with my beautiful Mexican terrier Carmela.

That’s time well spent.

A proper bin cleaning isn’t about blasting the inside of a container. It’s about making your week a little easier. It’s about walking up your driveway, smelling pine instead of rot, not fighting with your bins while your toddler melts down.

It’s about knowing someone gave a damn about something small.

That’s what Mr. Can Clean does best. We care about the small things. And we’ve kept our prices low on purpose – because this should be for regular people. People in Vancouver, people in Burnaby, people in New West.
