Resident convenience
No hauling bags to a dumpster on trash day. For many renters, that convenience is a real amenity.

Trash valet is one of the fastest-growing apartment amenities, and for good reason. Here is what property managers should know before adding it to their community.
What it is
Trash valet is a door-to-door collection service for apartment and multi-family communities. Residents set trash out at their door on a schedule, and the valet team collects it and takes it to the property's designated pickup point.
No hauling bags to a dumpster on trash day. For many renters, that convenience is a real amenity.
Scheduled, consistent collection means fewer overflowing bins and less trash left in common areas.
A defined collection window and a professional crew make trash day predictable for staff and residents.
Shared spaces stay tidier, which matters for tours, renewals, and the everyday resident experience.
What shapes a program
The number of units and the layout of the property drive the time and route for each collection.
Daily, several nights a week, or weekly collection all change how the program is planned and priced.
Where residents place trash, where crews pick it up, and how carts or bags move to the dumpster all matter.
