Valet Trash Isn't Just for Luxury Communities Anymore
Trash Caddy provides valet trash for multifamily communities across Palm Beach County at every price point. Crews collect bagged trash from each apartment door on scheduled nights and carry it to the compactor. Owners can bill residents back per unit, turning trash into an amenity and an NOI opportunity.

Residents Now Expect Valet Trash
Ten years ago, doorstep trash collection was something renters saw at a handful of new Class A towers. Today it shows up on amenity lists across the market, and prospects comparing communities in West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach and Boca Raton notice when it is missing. It ranks alongside package lockers and pet stations as a convenience residents ask about on tours.
Many Class B and C owners assume it is too expensive or too hard to run. In practice, valet trash is one of the more affordable amenities to add, because it requires no construction and can be partly or fully funded by residents.
Trash Caddy makes the service accessible at any asset class, with reliability that meets resident expectations.
How Doorstep Collection Works at Your Property
Each unit receives a standard container that sits outside the door. Residents place bagged trash in it during the set-out window. Our crew walks the property floor by floor, empties every container into a cart and delivers the bags to your compactor or dumpsters. Containers stay in place, and breezeways are cleared before the window closes.
Collection days and pickup windows are confirmed during community onboarding — every community has its own schedule based on their waste hauler and HOA requirements. Garden-style, mid-rise and wrap properties all work; we design the route around stairwells, elevators and building order.
Residents who set out trash incorrectly receive a courteous door tag. Repeat issues are reported to the leasing office.
The NOI Opportunity: Per-Unit Bill-Back
Most owners structure valet trash as a monthly per-unit fee added to the lease, alongside other ancillary charges. Trash Caddy bills the community a contracted per-unit rate. The difference between what residents pay and what the property pays flows to net operating income.
Because the fee applies across every occupied unit, even a modest spread compounds at the asset level, and higher NOI supports valuation at refinance or sale. Many owners also find that cleaner breezeways reduce make-ready and pest control expenses.
Review fee structure and disclosure requirements with your counsel and revenue management team. We provide the per-unit pricing detail you need to model it.
Reliability Is the Whole Amenity
A valet program that misses nights is worse than none: residents pay a fee, bags sit in hallways and online reviews suffer. Reliability is the product. Our crews run the same route on every scheduled collection night, and missed or late service is flagged so the leasing team hears it from us first.
Photo reports are available on request, and site issues like a full compactor, a damaged gate or contamination in recycling are passed to management promptly. Your office gets a direct contact, not a general inbox.
Launching Valet Trash at an Existing Community
We start with a site walk to count units, map buildings and identify compactor and dumpster locations. Then we prepare a written proposal and help your team draft the resident announcement and lease addendum language. Containers are delivered and distributed before the first collection night.
Most communities are onboarded and active within one to two weeks of signing. Contact us to confirm timing for your property. A lease-up or acquisition can launch on a schedule that matches renewals or the transition date.
Before service starts we provide a certificate of insurance naming the ownership entity and management company as additional insured.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is valet trash affordable for Class B and C properties?+
Yes. Valet trash requires no construction, and most owners fund it through a monthly per-unit resident fee, so the net cost to the property can be minimal or even positive. Trash Caddy prices by unit count, building layout and frequency, which keeps it practical for older garden-style communities as well as newer mid-rise buildings. Call for a quote.
How does the per-unit bill-back create NOI?+
The community charges residents a monthly valet trash fee and pays Trash Caddy a contracted per-unit rate. The spread between those two numbers becomes ancillary income that flows to net operating income. Because it applies across every occupied unit, it compounds at the property level. Confirm fee structure and disclosure requirements with your counsel before adding it to leases.
What do residents need to do?+
Residents place tied bags in the container outside their door during the posted set-out window on scheduled nights. That is all. They do not need an app or an account. Loose trash, oversized items and bags left out on the wrong night receive a door tag reminder, and repeat issues are reported to the leasing office for follow-up.
What happens if a collection night is missed?+
Missed or late service is flagged to your office directly, usually before residents notice, and we schedule the fix right away. Our crews run consistent routes, and a backup crew covers absences so the schedule holds. Photo reports are available on request when management needs to verify service or respond to a resident review or complaint.
Do you provide the door containers?+
We can. Most communities prefer a standard container for every unit so breezeways look uniform, and we deliver and distribute them before the first night of service. If your property already has containers that meet your fire marshal's and management's requirements, we can use those instead. Container cost is included in the proposal.
How long does it take to launch at our community?+
Most communities are onboarded and active within one to two weeks of signing. That includes the site walk, route mapping, container delivery and the resident announcement. Large or multi-phase properties can take longer, and lease-ups or acquisitions can be timed to a specific transition date. Contact us to confirm timing for your property.
What insurance documentation do you provide?+
Before the first night of service we provide a certificate of insurance naming the ownership entity and the management company as additional insured, plus a W-9 and any vendor forms your company requires. If your firm uses a vendor compliance platform, tell us during onboarding and we will complete registration so accounts payable can set us up quickly.
