Orlando STR Cleaning clears trash left by departing guests, breaks down delivery boxes for recycling, and moves bins out and back around each booking's checkout so a property never sits with garbage out when the next guest arrives — handled as part of every turnover across the 15 areas we cover, not billed as a separate line item.
Bins and bagged trash are the two things that make a property look uncleaned even after every surface inside has been wiped down. Orlando STR Cleaning treats clearing them as a normal part of every turnover we run across the 15 areas we cover from Orlando — not an extra call an owner has to remember to make.
A one-night guest leaves a single bag by the door. A two-week guest leaves that bag, a run of flattened delivery boxes, and whatever didn't fit in the fridge before checkout. Trash volume tracks the length of the booking, not the square footage of the unit, and that's the difference we plan for before we ever walk in.
Who gets the bin to the curb — us or the property owner?
When collection day falls inside a booking window, putting the cart out and bringing it back in is part of the turnover, not a separate ask. We check it against the reservation calendar for each property so a bin doesn't sit at the curb for two extra days because a remote owner had no way to know pickup landed mid-stay.
What happens to the boxes guests order during a stay?
Guests order things they didn't pack — a case of water, a beach chair, a phone charger — and the boxes pile up in a corner or the garage if nobody clears them. We flatten them for recycling and clear out anything left behind at turnover, including whatever the previous guest left in the cabinets or fridge.
On back-to-back bookings, that's the difference between a unit that's ready for the next guest's arrival and one where the empty boxes are still stacked by the door in the photo a guest posts with their review.
- Flattened delivery boxes, set out for recycling
- Leftover food and open containers from the fridge
- Bagged household trash from the stay
- Anything left behind in cabinets or drawers
Does trash-out cost extra on top of the cleaning fee?
No. Clearing trash and handling bins is built into the turnover price for every property we clean in the Orlando area — it isn't billed as an add-on.
Do you take the trash to the dumpster or curb, or just bag it and leave it inside?
We move it out — to the community dumpster or curb bin, whichever the property uses — as part of the turnover, not bagged and left by the door. If pickup falls during the booking window, we work the bin out and its return in around the checkout and the next check-in.
What if a guest leaves something unusual, like furniture or an appliance box?
We clear normal household trash and packaging as a matter of course. For anything past that — furniture, e-waste, anything bulky — call (689) 220-6567 before it goes out with the rest; we're glad to take it, but not without confirming with you first.
Do you separate recycling from regular trash?
Delivery boxes get broken down and set aside for recycling separately from bagged household trash. How each stream actually gets collected depends on the property's own container setup, which we work with rather than try to reconfigure.
How do I know this actually gets done and isn't skipped on a busy day?
It's one of the things our current guests rate us on — Orlando STR Cleaning holds a 5 rating across 39 Google reviews, and a bin left at the curb or trash left in a unit is exactly the kind of thing that shows up in a review when it's missed.
