Can-to-Curb for Senior Residents in Palm Beach County

Why Seniors Choose Can-to-Curb

For most homeowners, taking cans to the curb is a chore. For seniors, it can be dangerous. Standard 96-gallon rollout cans weigh 40–60 pounds when full and must be dragged over uneven driveway pavers, curbs, and lawn edges in Florida heat that regularly exceeds 90°F from May through October. Falls on the driveway, back strain from awkward lifting, and heat exhaustion are the top three reasons families call Trash Caddy on behalf of a parent. Can-to-curb removes the risk entirely.

Safety in Florida Heat

Heat-related medical events climb sharply for adults over 65 during Palm Beach County's summer season. The CDC recommends limiting outdoor exertion during peak heat, but many collection routes run in the morning after temperatures have already crossed 85°F. Can-to-curb crews handle the physical work when it's safer to do so — before dawn or in the early evening — so seniors do not need to be outside with heavy bins during the hottest part of the day.

HOA Compliance Automatic

Wellington, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Boca Raton, and most gated communities in Palm Beach County require bins at the curb no earlier than the night before collection and returned to storage the same day. Fines run into hundreds of dollars per incident. For a senior who is traveling to see grandchildren, recovering from surgery, or simply forgets, one missed return is one HOA letter. Trash Caddy handles both placement and return every week so violations never happen.

Photo Confirmation for Peace of Mind

Every service is documented with a timestamped photo of the cans staged correctly at the curb. That photo is retained on file and available to the resident and to any adult child listed on the account. Families spread across the country use photo confirmation as a light-touch check-in — proof that everything at Mom's house is still running on schedule, even when nobody is on the ground to look.

Same Crew Every Week

Trash Caddy assigns the same crew to each service route week over week. Senior residents come to recognize the crew and vice versa. If a can is missing, if a garage door is closed, or if a hurricane advisory changes the pickup day, the crew notices immediately and calls the office. That kind of continuity is what families want for elderly parents and what senior residents themselves value most.

Signing Up on Behalf of a Parent

Adult children set up service on behalf of a parent daily. Call 561-913-2023 with the address, gate code (if any), and pickup day. Billing runs on a credit card on file — often the adult child's card — with monthly emailed receipts. The parent does not need to manage the account, remember the schedule, or interact with the crew unless they want to.

Pricing

Can-to-curb plans start at $49/month for up to two cans, $65/month for up to four cans, and $79/month for up to six cans. No app required. No long-term contract. Pause anytime for extended travel with two weeks' notice. For a senior on a fixed income, the value proposition is unusually clear: less than $2 per day for a service that eliminates a real safety risk and HOA fine exposure.

How to Get Started
