Who wants to scrub out their nasty garbage cans? Jennifer Trudel, the owner
of Scrub-A-Dub Bin Cleaning, knows that answer – no one! Jennifer explained, “The
service of bin cleaning is something that once you have it done, you’re a believer. The
service is a valuable amenity for busy families, retirees, single moms, and the list goes
on and on. Cleaning the large cans is cumbersome at best. Sure, you can rinse it out
with your garden hose, but that isn’t going to work for long. Our service is eco-friendly,
extremely affordable, and convenient, because you don’t even have to be home.”
Jennifer continued, “Many residents already use paid services such as lawn, pool
and house cleaning services to make their lives easier. This is why bin cleaning makes
so much sense, because if you have to keep your bins in your garage in the Florida heat,
you’ll have to keep it clean or it will reek. The smell is bad enough, but the bins are also
pharmacist for 28 years. After much thought, she decided to retire early, but after a year,
have four children, two boys and two girls. We are all ‘J’s - Jeff, Jennifer, Jimmy, Julia,
Jackie, and Jackson. Our neighbors and friends refer to us as the “J” family. I met my
husband in 1991 and we’ve been married for 24 years. My husband likes to joke saying,
‘10 years were blissful.’ He’s a great guy and I am a very lucky woman to have him.
“I had never had given much consideration to owning my own business until after
retiring. I began looking at franchises and they all seemed to have their drawbacks.
I would brainstorm and google searching every day because I knew there had to be
something I’d be passionate about. In early 2017, my husband saw a Miami colleague’s
Facebook post raving about this new service where she had gotten her trash and recycle
bins cleaned by a professional company. I began researching this concept and the more I
learned, the more I wanted to open my own bin cleaning business. My husband wanted
to wait, but I was adamant that we need to jump on this opportunity while no one was
providing this service in the Wesley Chapel, Lutz, Land O’ Lakes, and New Tampa,”
she said. All Jennifer really needed was the truck with the specialized equipment
and once that was secured, she started servicing the community on January 3rd 2018.
Jennifer said, “I’ve been driving the truck since day one. I love being outside hearing the
birds chirp, seeing squirrels in trees eating nuts, saying hello to residents walking their
dogs, meeting my customers, and admiring all the beautiful developments unique
to our area.”
Her business is growing steadily especially now that they are in their second year.
“It’s growing by word of mouth, print advertising, and truck visibility. As word gets
out, more and more residents will want the service. The main hurdle for my service is
spreading the word so people know the service exists. I am very hopeful residents will
see the value in it and check it out,” Jennifer noted.
When asked what she does in her spare time, Jennifer replied, “I discovered Pilates
year. Our baby at home is Muffy, a Yorkie weighing in at 5 pounds. She travels, sleeps,
and cuddles with us, but she doesn’t clean bins. We’ll keep her anyway!”
