Standard trash-out means every guest bag, box and food container leaves before the next check-in — it doesn't cover hauling furniture, appliances or move-out-scale volume, which San Diego STR Cleaning quotes separately once it's seen on-site. The same scope applies across all 12 of the shop's San Diego service areas.
A departing guest's own trash is one job; a guest who leaves behind a broken folding chair or three boxes from a move is another. San Diego STR Cleaning treats the first as part of every standard turnover and quotes the second once someone has actually seen the volume — a phone description of 'a few extra bags' undercounts it more often than it doesn't.
Timing matters as much as volume. Checkout-to-check-in gaps compress hardest on weekends, so trash-out has to happen inside that gap rather than get scheduled around it.
What's included in a standard trash-out, and what isn't?
Standard scope covers the kitchen and bathroom bins, recycling a guest leaves out, and anything obviously bagged or boxed for pickup — out to the curb or dumpster as part of the regular turnover. What it doesn't cover is bulk: a broken lamp, a mattress, moving boxes, anything that needs two people or a truck bed. That gets its own quote, not a surprise line item on the invoice.
Does a property further from the shop get a lighter version of the service?
No. The scope is identical across all 12 of the shop's San Diego service areas. What changes property to property is turnaround time relative to guest volume, not what actually gets picked up.
How do I flag a bigger-than-usual haul before the crew shows up?
Call (858) 727-5430 with a rough count — bags versus boxes versus furniture — before the scheduled clean, not after. A crew that arrives expecting a standard trash-out and finds a move-out's worth of debris either has to scale back the rest of the clean to cover it or come back, and neither is the outcome anyone wants on a same-day turnover.
Is trash-out included in every turnover, or is it billed separately?
It's included in the standard turnover scope — kitchen and bathroom bins, recycling, anything bagged or boxed for pickup. Bulk items like furniture or move-out-scale volume get a separate quote once they're seen on-site, not folded into the base price.
What if a guest leaves behind furniture or an unusually large amount of trash?
That's treated as a bulk haul rather than standard trash-out and priced after a look at the actual volume. Flagging it ahead of the scheduled clean, with a rough count of bags versus boxes versus furniture, keeps the crew from having to scale back the rest of the job to cover it.
Do all your service areas get the same trash-out scope?
Yes. The scope doesn't change by area — every property across the shop's 12 San Diego service areas gets the same standard trash-out, and bulk removal is priced the same way regardless of which area it's in.
