Trash Valet Cost Per Unit in Palm Beach County

Per-Unit Pricing Explained

Trash valet is quoted per residential unit per month on a fixed monthly contract. No hourly rates. No per-bag surcharges. No fuel escalators. The per-unit rate accounts for crew time, insurance, equipment, reporting, resident communication, and same-day missed-collection response. Every proposal shows the flat rate, the service nights, and the contract term — nothing hidden and no line-item add-ons.

What Moves the Rate

Five variables move a per-unit quote: (1) unit count — larger properties earn better per-unit economics through route density; (2) nights per week — 7-night service costs more than 5-night; (3) property layout — high-rise elevator time vs walk-up garden building efficiency; (4) trash room pickup vs door pickup; (5) recycling frequency and handling. Compliance Depot registration and COI documentation are included at no additional cost.

100-Unit Community — Full NOI Walkthrough

A 100-unit garden-style HOA in Boynton Beach charges residents $20 per unit per month for trash valet — $2,000 gross monthly amenity revenue. Trash Caddy's per-unit contracted rate at that scale, applied against 100 units, produces a monthly vendor invoice materially below the resident revenue. The spread — retained by the association — annualized becomes meaningful ancillary NOI on the operating statement. For a 100-unit HOA, this can offset a significant portion of dues pressure in a given year.

200-Unit Community — Full NOI Walkthrough

A 200-unit condominium community in West Palm Beach charges residents $22 per unit — $4,400 gross monthly amenity revenue. Trash Caddy's rate improves at 200-unit density, widening the spread. Annualized ancillary NOI at 200 units regularly funds capital reserve contributions for other amenity upgrades without a special assessment. Resident satisfaction rises alongside the NOI, which is why boards approve at scale so consistently.

300-Unit Community — Full NOI Walkthrough

A 300-unit high-rise on Singer Island or downtown WPB charges residents $25 per unit — $7,500 gross monthly amenity revenue. Route density is maximum, elevator time compresses per-unit crew minutes, and Trash Caddy's per-unit rate reaches its most efficient tier. The spread at this scale often rivals or exceeds the NOI generated by the community's package room, storage rentals, and gym access fees combined. Trash Caddy dedicates a same-crew route to properties this size.

How to Budget Trash Valet Into a Pro Forma

For new pro forma modeling, model gross amenity revenue on the resident-fee side and vendor invoice on the expense side. Assume 90% billing collection to stay conservative. Model the spread as ancillary NOI. Because the vendor invoice is fixed monthly, cash flow is predictable — no seasonality, no volatility, no capex. For refinance and disposition, cap the ancillary NOI at the community's overall cap rate — that is how ancillary income adds valuation.
