Valet trash is doorstep trash collection for apartment communities. Residents set a bagged trash container outside their door during a set window, and our porters collect it and take it to the compactor or dumpster.

Most communities choose 5 nights a week (Sunday through Thursday), but we build the schedule around your property, from 3 to 7 nights.
Do you provide resident containers?+
Yes. We can supply branded doorstep containers and resident welcome flyers, or work with containers you already have.
How do you handle violations?+
Porters log rule violations, like trash left outside the window or unbagged waste, with photos. Your office gets a nightly report so you can follow up with residents.

Pricing is per unit, per month, and depends on unit count, building layout and nights of service. Request a proposal and we'll walk your property and send a quote within 48 hours.
