Trash Valet for Associa Communities
Trash valet from Trash Caddy gives Associa communities doorstep bag pickup across Palm Beach County. Our crew collects bags at each participating door and brings them to the dumpster, with per-unit monthly pricing. Contact us for a quote. Photo confirmation is provided after service. Collection days are confirmed at onboarding. No app required.
Built for HOA Boards and Property Managers
For property managers and HOA boards working with Associa, Trash Caddy is built around how portfolios actually run. Communities under one manager can be grouped for bulk pricing, so adding a second or third property lowers the work and the cost of each. We bill by invoice, never by resident card, which keeps the paperwork in the hands of management. A dedicated account contact handles your communities, and there are no per-unit contracts: one agreement covers the whole property. The result for Associa portfolios is a single vendor relationship that grows property by property, without separate paperwork for each resident. Residents get a visible amenity, boards get a clear quote, and management gets less to manage.
How Bulk and HOA Pricing Works
Trash valet for HOA and multifamily properties is priced by quote, and Associa communities are no exception. Unit count, building layout, distance to the trash enclosure and site access all shape the number. Portfolios that bring more than one property receive bulk pricing on the combined quote.
Once the quote is accepted, each community is billed by invoice, and the association decides how to recover the cost, whether as a common expense or a resident amenity fee. Call 561-913-2023 with your community list to start. Contact Us for a Quote.
What Property Managers Need to Set Up Service
- A list of buildings and the total number of doors
- The location of the compactor, dumpsters or trash rooms
- Site access: gate codes, guard procedures and any elevator rules
- Any vendor-compliance or insurance requirements
- Billing details for the association's invoice
- Who signs off on the resident welcome notice
Most of the setup work is ours; from the Associa manager we only need a few items. Collection days and pickup windows are confirmed during community onboarding.
What the Service Covers
What we do at Associa communities is simple to describe: residents leave bagged household trash at the door, and our crew carries it to the collection point. Bulk items, furniture and appliances are not included; the hauler continues to empty containers as usual. Residents know exactly what to expect, and management knows exactly what it is paying for.
Mixed communities can pair trash valet for buildings with can-to-curb for houses and villas, all under the same account contact. Trash can cleaning is also available. Contact Us for a Quote. A photo after each visit gives Associa managers a ready record to share with boards or residents whenever a question comes up about service.
A Locally Owned Partner
As a locally owned Palm Beach County company, we already know the haulers, gates and seasonal swings that Associa properties deal with. Because many communities fill up in winter, crew size adjusts for seasonal occupancy throughout the year. That keeps communication short and problems small.
Getting Board Approval
HOA boards at Associa communities usually weigh three things before approving trash valet: resident demand, cost and how much extra work it creates for management. We supply a board-ready proposal covering the quote, the service scope and the resident communication plan. If the board has questions, we can answer them by phone or attend a meeting in person or by video. Because each community signs one agreement and there are no long-term contracts, the board keeps control of the decision over time. In our experience, once residents at a Associa community get used to the service, boards rarely want to go back to the old routine.
Your Dedicated Account Contact
Day to day, Associa managers deal with one dedicated account contact rather than a general phone queue. They keep track of gate details, building quirks and board preferences for each property. Photos after every visit give your office something concrete to point to if a question comes up. If a holiday or storm shifts collection, we adjust and let management know.
What Residents Experience
From the resident side, trash valet means a bag by the door and nothing more. English and Spanish resident notices go out before service starts. No app is required, and questions come to our office, not yours. Part-time residents get the same routine as everyone else, with nothing left by the door while they travel. Residents who find carrying heavy bags difficult benefit the most.
Boards can treat doorstep valet as an amenity: residents pay a monthly fee, the community pays a lower contracted rate, and the gap becomes ancillary income.
