In Cambodia’s hot and humid climate, dumpsters become dirty very quickly. Food waste breaks down fast, creating strong odors and attracting flies, rats, and cockroaches. Dirty dumpsters can also leak waste water onto the ground, creating health risks for staff, customers, and nearby residents—especially during the rainy season when standing water and waste can spread bacteria and insects more easily.
For most businesses, regular dumpster cleaning is not optional—it is necessary. Restaurants, markets, and food businesses should clean dumpsters at least once a week, while offices and low-waste sites should clean them at least once a month. During hot months or heavy rain, cleaning should be done more often. Without this, dumpsters quickly become a source of hygiene problems rather than just a waste container.
Regular dumpster cleaning reduces bad smells, pests, and health risks, while keeping properties cleaner and more professional. It also helps protect drains, the environment, and surrounding communities. Simply put, a clean dumpster is safer for people, better for the environment, and reflects responsible property management.
