Valet trash service for Northern Virginia apartment communities

Residents set bagged trash at their door. Uniformed porters collect it every service night, carry it to your corral, and leave the corral clean. You get proof in your inbox by morning.

Best fit

Garden-style, walk-up and mid-rise breezeway communities, roughly 100–400 units. Smaller properties are welcome with a monthly minimum.

Nights per week

Five nights is standard (typically Sunday–Thursday). Six or seven nights is available for communities that want it.

Set-out window

Residents set out trash during an evening window your community sets with us. Containers come back inside the next morning.

Manage with confidence

Know it was done — without walking the property.

Every night produces a record you can hand to your regional manager, your owner or your fire marshal. Request a bulk pickup or a trash-out from the same report.

Already have a valet provider?

Switching takes one walkthrough. No gap in service.

We plan the changeover around your current agreement, so residents never miss a night and your office never fields the complaints.

Plan my switch
  1. 1We review your current agreement and confirm the end date and notice terms.
  2. 2We prepare the resident notice and new containers before the changeover date.
  3. 3Our first night is the night after your current service ends, with a supervisor on site.

Questions managers ask

Valet trash questions

What is valet trash?

Valet trash (doorstep trash collection) is an apartment amenity where residents set a bagged-trash container outside their door during an evening window, and uniformed porters collect it and carry it to the community's dumpster or compactor. Residents stop hauling bags across the parking lot, and breezeways and corrals stay cleaner.

How is valet trash priced?

Per unit, per month, billed on all units at the community. The rate depends on unit count, nights per week and how spread out the buildings are. Most communities pass a monthly valet fee to residents that is higher than the service rate, so the amenity adds to net operating income. We put the full math in your written proposal.

What happens if you miss a night?

You receive a service credit, written into every agreement. Every route also has a trained backup porter, and the owner is on call — so a missed night is the exception we plan hardest against.

What happens when residents set out trash late or loose?

We photograph it, note the unit and include it in your morning report. Your office applies your community rules; we give you the evidence. Photos show the container and door, never residents.

Do you provide the containers?

Yes. Doorstep containers and resident flyers are delivered before your first night.

How fast can you start?

Most communities launch within about 7 days of a signed agreement: walkthrough, proposal within 48 hours, then containers, resident notices and a trained crew.
