Can-to-Curb Service in Palm Beach County: The Complete Guide

What Can-to-Curb Actually Is

Can-to-curb is a weekly service tied to your municipal pickup schedule. On the night before collection, a Trash Caddy crew arrives at your address, retrieves your trash and recycling cans from wherever they are stored — garage, side yard, or gated enclosure — and stages them at the curb. After the county hauler empties the cans that day, the crew returns to roll the empty cans back to storage. Your role is simple: put trash in the can. That's it. You never move the can yourself.

How It Works Step by Step

Step one: sign up online or by phone and provide your address, gate code (if any), and pickup day. Step two: on your first service night, our crew visits your property, notes storage location, and stages your cans. Step three: photo confirmation is uploaded to our system showing cans placed correctly at the curb. Step four: the county hauler runs its normal route. Step five: the same crew returns the same day to return your empty cans to storage. Step six: your monthly billing runs automatically.

The Photo Confirmation Process

Every can-to-curb visit is documented. When our crew stages your cans, they take a timestamped photo showing the cans at the curb, properly placed for hauler pickup. That photo is retained on file. If a can is ever missed, damaged, or a hauler dispute arises, the photo is your proof. Snowbird customers who spend winters in Palm Beach County and summers up north especially value photo confirmation — they can be a thousand miles away and still see that their service ran on schedule.

HOA Compliance in Wellington and Beyond

Wellington's ordinance requires bins at the curb no earlier than 6PM the night before collection and stored back out of street view no later than 11PM the day of collection. Fines for repeated violations run into hundreds of dollars per incident and are reported to the HOA. Similar rules exist in Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Boca Raton, and dozens of gated communities countywide. Can-to-curb automates compliance: the crew handles both the placement and the return, on time, every week. You never risk a fine again.

Who Needs Can-to-Curb Most

Three groups get outsized value: snowbirds who spend half the year in Palm Beach County and half elsewhere and cannot roll bins on days they are away; seniors in single-family HOAs where the walk to the curb is genuinely difficult, especially in summer heat; and busy families or professionals whose Monday mornings do not allow bin duty. Can-to-curb is also common among luxury homeowners in gated communities like Admirals Cove, Old Palm, Boca West, and Wellington's Olympia, where discretion and reliability are non-negotiable.

Doing It Yourself vs. Can-to-Curb

Doing it yourself costs roughly ten to fifteen minutes each week — plus the risk of forgetting on a busy morning, plus the HOA fine risk, plus the physical strain in Florida heat. Can-to-curb costs from $49/month and eliminates all of that. For a snowbird gone half the year, doing it yourself is not even possible; they would otherwise rely on a neighbor or leave cans out illegally. Can-to-curb replaces those workarounds with a documented, insured, professional service.
