What Gets Cleaned
Dumpster Pads
The concrete under and around the containers, where grease, food waste and liquids collect.
Enclosure Walls and Gates
The inside walls and gates get as dirty as the pad and hold odor.
Grease Bin Areas
Spills around grease containers are slick and attract pests.
Drive-Thru Lanes
Oil, food spills and grime in the lane and at the windows.
Grease Water Has to Be Collected
Grease-laden washwater cannot go to the storm drain. The City of Columbia's stormwater guide says businesses are responsible for keeping washwater out of storm drains, and oily water has to be pre-treated before it goes anywhere else. A crew doing this work should block nearby drains, vacuum up the water and dispose of it properly.
Hot Water and Degreaser
Hot water and a degreaser break down grease far better than cold water and pressure.
Odor Treatment
A deodorizer or enzyme treatment after cleaning helps between visits.
How Often
Most restaurants and grocery stores do best with a monthly or quarterly schedule. A set schedule keeps the cost per visit lower than one-off deep cleans and keeps the pad from getting bad enough to draw complaints or a health inspector's note.
Before the Crew Arrives
Schedule the cleaning for the morning after a pickup, when the containers are empty and can be rolled aside. Make sure the crew can reach a water source, or ask whether they bring their own. Tell them where the nearest storm drain and grease trap are so containment can be set before any water hits the pad.
