Tempe STR Cleaning clears what a guest leaves behind at every checkout — full bins, takeout containers, recycling scattered on the counter — as a standard part of the turnover, not an add-on. Current hours: Mon–Thu 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Fri 8:00 AM – 5:00 AM, closed Sat–Sun.
Every regular turnover already includes clearing the obvious stuff — bagged kitchen trash, takeout containers left on the counter, recycling sorted into the right bin. That happens at every single checkout and isn't billed as a separate call or an add-on.
The harder version shows up on two occasions: a bin that's already full when a booking calendar runs wall-to-wall through a pickup day, and the larger volume left behind once a longer stay ends and someone clears out for good. Both need an actual clean-out, not just a kitchen sweep between guests.
Neither is urgent the way a same-day turnover is, but neither waits well either — a stuffed bin left sitting for a few extra days turns into a bigger job than the one a scheduled pickup would have handled, and it's the kind of thing a property manager notices before the owner does.
What happens when a property's bin is already full?
The crew hauls the overflow out with them instead of leaving extra bags stacked next to a full bin at the curb. A stuffed bin sitting for days is what actually turns into a complaint from a neighbor or a property manager — not the trash itself, which would've been gone on schedule otherwise.
This comes up most on properties where the checkout calendar leaves no gap before the next scheduled pickup — bookings stacked closely enough to skip the day a bin would normally get emptied. It's worth flagging that pattern ahead of time, a quick note on the account, rather than discovering it after a bin's already overflowing and the next guest is already checking in.
The same logic applies at the other end of the scale: a property coming off a longer stay, where one tenant's accumulated volume is closer to a move-out than a checkout. That gets scheduled and staffed like the bigger job it actually is, not squeezed into a standard turnover slot.
- Routine checkout: bagged kitchen trash, counters cleared, recycling sorted — included in every turnover
- Clean-out: an already-full bin, or the buildup left after a longer stay ends — scheduled as its own visit
Is trash-out included in every turnover, or is it a separate call?
Clearing counters, bagging kitchen trash, and resetting recycling is built into every regular turnover, not an add-on. A larger clean-out — bins already full, or what's left after a longer stay ends — gets scheduled as its own visit.
What if a guest checks out on a Saturday or Sunday?
Current hours: Mon–Thu 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Fri 8:00 AM – 5:00 AM, closed Sat–Sun.
What happens to overflow when a bin is already full at pickup?
The crew takes the extra bags with them instead of stacking them next to a full bin. Properties with bookings that don't leave a gap before pickup day should flag that pattern ahead of time so it doesn't turn into a standing overflow problem.
