TULSA -- A new local business is making some noise offering a service just about everybody needs, and it has a good cause.

“I get that question quite often. I haven’t gotten anybody’s phone number, I haven’t had a date," said GotDirtyBins.com General Manager Joshua Schneider.

It takes you by surprise at first.

“I do tell them honestly what I do, and I clean trash cans.”

He rounds the corner of a quiet neighborhood with a green polo, smile and odd-looking garbage truck.

“They’ll stop us, say 'Hey, holy cow what is this? How much is it? Great I’m right around the corner, and here we come.'”

GotDirtyBins.com started from a simple, yet strong observation.

“I said, 'I know trash bins, they stink, and they’re like yea, dad, they do.'"

Owner Nick Griego is deciding to cut the crap.

“They’re just doing what they’ve got to do to make Tulsa smell better," Griego said.

But Dirty Ben isn't just out for himself.

“When we kind of sat down all together and brainstormed it was just a natural fit with Folds of Honor.”

The company's dedication to veterans is apparent and permanent, they say as long as their trucks are driving they're dedicated to helping people.

The owner Nick is a veteran himself.

“We want those families to know they can count on us.”

Folds of Honor telling 2 Works for You how proud they are of the partnership emphasizing the importance of making sure "no family gets left behind on the field of battle and home front."

“It’s a beautiful thing in the back of your mind to [know] this is for somebody else," Josh said. “It really actually is helping everybody."

A portion of all proceeds goes to Folds of Honor on a regular basis.
