Trash Valet Cost in Palm Beach County

Pricing Transparency, Up Front

Most homeowners and board members start their research with one question: what does it cost? We would rather answer that plainly than make you call to find out.

There are two prices to understand. Can-to-curb, the service for individual homes, has a published monthly price. Trash valet, the service for condo, apartment and HOA communities, is quoted for each property because the work varies so much from one building to the next. Both are explained below, along with exactly what each price covers.

Can-to-Curb: $89/Month

Can-to-curb Standard is $89/month, billed on the 1st of each month. It is a single flat price for your household, not a per-visit charge.

• Trash and recycling carts moved from their storage spot to the curb before collection.
• Carts returned to their storage spot after they are emptied.
• Collection days confirmed with your hauler during onboarding.
• A photo confirmation after every visit.
• Adjustments for holidays and storms that shift collection.
• A locally owned crew and an office you can call at 561-913-2023.
• No app required.

Trash Valet for HOA Contracts: Custom Quote

Trash valet is priced by quote. A quote for a 40-unit garden condo looks nothing like one for a 300-unit tower with service elevators and a guard gate, so a single published number would be misleading for almost everyone.

The factors that shape a trash valet quote are the number of units, the type and layout of the buildings, the distance from doors to the compactor or dumpster, and the steps needed to access the property. Communities that bring several properties together can receive bulk pricing on the combined quote.

Trash valet is billed by invoice to the association or management company, one invoice per community, and service runs under one community agreement. Contact Us for a Quote.

What Trash Valet Includes

• Doorstep collection of tied, bagged household trash on collection days.
• Bags carried to the community's compactor, dumpster enclosure or trash room.
• Resident notices in English and Spanish before launch.
• Coordination of gates, front desks and service elevators.
• A dedicated account contact for management.
• Invoice billing per community.

Doing It Yourself vs Hiring Out

The honest comparison is not $89 against zero. Doing it yourself costs time, effort and, in some communities, the risk of a violation notice when a cart is left out too long.

Think about a typical year. Every collection day means remembering the schedule, wheeling heavy carts down the driveway and remembering again to bring them back. Miss a return while you are traveling and the carts sit at the curb. For seasonal residents, the alternative is often asking a neighbor or paying someone informally, which works until it does not.

Hiring out replaces all of that with a fixed monthly price, a crew that does not forget and a photo that proves the work was done. For many households, the value is less about the minutes saved and more about never having to think about it again.

For communities, the comparison is different. Without trash valet, residents carry bags through hallways and parking areas to a shared dumpster. With it, the building stays cleaner, overflow around the enclosure is reduced and the association has a resident amenity it can point to.

What Is Not Included

Our prices cover bins and bagged trash only. We do not take furniture, appliances or bulk items, and we do not empty carts; your hauler still collects the trash itself. Keeping the scope narrow is part of how we keep pricing simple.

How Billing Works

Can-to-curb is billed automatically on the 1st of each month at $89. Trash valet is billed by invoice to the community. In both cases, there are no surprise charges added later; anything that would change your price is discussed with you first.

Questions to Ask About Any Price

Whether you are comparing providers or deciding whether to hire out at all, a few questions make any price easier to judge. Is the price monthly or per visit? Does it cover both the trip to the curb and the return? Is there proof that the work was done? What happens when a holiday or storm moves collection?

For trash valet, ask what the quote assumes about unit count and building layout, how billing works and whether residents must sign anything individually. With Trash Caddy, each community is invoiced, service runs under one community agreement, and bulk pricing is available when several communities are quoted together.

A low headline price that leaves out the return trip, proof of service or schedule changes can end up costing more in frustration than a clear, complete one.

Who Gets the Most Value

Can-to-curb tends to deliver the most value for snowbirds and seasonal owners, seniors who would rather not move heavy carts, vacation rental owners between guests, and busy households who simply want one less chore. For these homeowners, a flat $89/month replaces a recurring task and the worry of carts left at the curb.

Trash valet delivers the most value for communities where residents carry bags long distances, buildings with overflowing enclosures and properties that want a visible resident amenity. For boards and managers, the value shows up in cleaner common areas and fewer resident complaints.

Why We Publish the Can-to-Curb Price

Can-to-curb work is similar from one home to the next: carts out, carts back, photo confirmation. That consistency lets us publish a single price and stick to it. Trash valet work varies too much between buildings for a single number to be fair, which is why each community receives its own quote.

Publishing what we can, and explaining what we cannot, is the most honest way we know to talk about cost. If anything about your situation would change the price, we tell you before service starts, never after.

Cost Over a Full Year

Looking at a full year helps put the monthly price in perspective. For can-to-curb, $89/month is a predictable line in the household budget, billed on the 1st, with no per-visit math. For trash valet, the community's quote becomes a predictable vendor invoice that the board can plan for in its annual budget. In both cases, holidays and storms that move collection are handled without extra charges, and you are told about any change before it happens.

One Price, No Guesswork

Whatever service fits your property, you will know the price before the first visit and it will not change without a conversation first.
