Home/Valet trash

Valet trash service for Texas apartment communities.

Doorstep collection five nights a week, a compactor area that actually stays clean, and non-compliance documented with photos instead of argued about.

Valet trash is the amenity residents interact with every single day. Done well, nobody thinks about it. Done badly, it becomes bags sitting in breezeways until Thursday, a compactor area nobody wants to walk past on a tour, and a steady trickle of complaints landing on your office.

The service itself is simple — residents set a bin outside their door during a set evening window, and our crew collects and hauls to the compactor. What separates providers is everything around that: whether the compactor area gets cleaned, whether bulk items get handled or left to pile up, and whether you hear about a chronic non-complier from us or from the resident living next to them.

What's included

Doorstep collection, done properly.

Five nights a week is standard. Schedule and scope are set per community.

Doorstep collection

Set evening window, consistent crew, consistent route.

  • Five nights per week standard
  • Fixed collection window
  • Consistent assigned crew
  • Holiday schedule published ahead

Compactor & chute areas

The part most providers treat as somebody else's job.

  • Area swept and policed nightly
  • Spill and leakage cleanup
  • Chute room upkeep
  • Compactor-full alerts to management

Bulk items

Handled on a schedule instead of accumulating beside the dumpster.

  • Scheduled bulk pickup
  • Staging and removal
  • Move-out debris
  • Furniture and mattress handling

Compliance reporting

Documented with photos, so enforcement is a conversation about facts.

  • Photo documentation of violations
  • Unit-level reporting
  • Repeat offender tracking
  • Monthly summary to management

Bins & supplies

Sorted at startup so rollout isn't your project.

  • Bin procurement and distribution
  • Replacement bins for new residents
  • Resident notices and door hangers
  • Lids and liners as specified

Program launch

The first two weeks decide whether residents adopt it.

  • Resident communication plan
  • Door-to-door bin delivery
  • Grace period during adoption
  • Onsite team briefing

Why communities add valet trash.

Three reasons, usually. It's a visible amenity that improves daily life, which helps at renewal. It reduces the breezeway and dumpster-area mess that drags down curb appeal and shows up in tour feedback. And on many properties it's structured as a billable resident service, which changes the economics considerably.

It also frees your maintenance team. Porters spend a real share of their week hauling resident trash and cleaning up around the compactor — work that has nothing to do with the service requests actually sitting in the queue.

Common questions

What property managers ask us.

How is valet trash priced?

Per unit, per month — billed on total units, not occupancy. The number depends on unit count, building layout and how many nights per week you want collection. A garden-style community with exterior stairs is a different job from a wrap or a mid-rise, so we quote after walking the property rather than off a rate card.

How many nights a week is standard?

Five nights, Sunday through Thursday, is the industry norm and what most communities run. Some properties run four, a few run six. We'll tell you honestly whether a reduced schedule is likely to cause bag accumulation given your specific layout.

What happens when residents put bags out at the wrong time?

We photograph it with the unit number and include it in reporting, rather than quietly picking it up forever or leaving it to become your problem. Most communities enforce through their own lease terms; we supply the documentation.

Who supplies the bins?

We do, as part of program launch, including delivery to every unit. Replacement bins for new move-ins are handled on an ongoing basis, so your leasing office isn't storing a stack of them.

How long does it take to launch?

Typically a couple of weeks from agreement to first collection, most of which is bin procurement and resident notice. The launch itself is a single evening of door-to-door delivery.

Can we add it to an existing agreement?

Yes. If we already handle your grounds or porter service, valet trash goes on the same agreement and the same invoice. If we don't, it can stand alone.
