Trash Valet for FirstService Residential Communities
Trash Caddy provides doorstep trash valet for FirstService Residential communities in Palm Beach County: residents set bagged trash outside their door and our crew carries it to the dumpster or compactor. Pricing is quoted per unit per month. Collection days are confirmed at onboarding. No app required. Locally owned. Call 561-913-2023.
Built for HOA Boards and Property Managers
Trash Caddy was set up with FirstService Residential portfolio managers and HOA boards in mind, not just individual residents. 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. Invoice billing keeps payments inside the association's normal vendor process. You get a dedicated account contact who knows your properties, and each community runs under one agreement, with no per-unit contracts for residents to sign. Together, those terms let a FirstService Residential manager add communities over time without renegotiating from scratch or chasing resident signatures. Boards see a simple proposal, residents see cleaner hallways, and managers see fewer trash complaints.
How Bulk and HOA Pricing Works
Trash valet for HOA and multifamily properties is priced by quote, and FirstService Residential 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.
After approval, invoices go to management for each community, and the board chooses how to fund it, from the operating budget or as an amenity charge. To request pricing, call 561-913-2023 or use the form on this page. Contact Us for a Quote.
What Property Managers Need to Set Up Service
- Property name, number of units and building list
- The collection point for each building
- Access steps for the crew, including gates and service elevators
- Your insurance and vendor-compliance requirements
- Billing contact for invoices
- A board or management contact for resident notices
Most of the setup work is ours; from the FirstService Residential manager we only need a few items. Most communities are onboarded and active within one to two weeks of signing, and collection days are confirmed during onboarding.
What the Service Covers
Trash valet at FirstService Residential communities covers one clearly defined job: bagged household trash collected at each participating door and carried to the property's collection point. There is no bulk item, furniture or appliance pickup, and the hauler's role does not change. A clear scope makes the service easy to explain to residents and easy for management to hold us to.
If the property includes detached homes, those households can use can-to-curb while buildings use trash valet. Ask about trash can cleaning too. Contact Us for a Quote. A photo after each visit gives FirstService Residential managers a ready record to share with boards or residents whenever a question comes up about service.
A Locally Owned Partner
Trash Caddy is locally owned and based in Palm Beach County, so FirstService Residential managers deal with a team that knows the county's communities, haulers and seasonal rhythms. We adjust crew size for seasonal occupancy, which keeps service consistent from peak season to summer. When a manager calls, the person who answers can actually make a decision.
Getting Board Approval
HOA boards at FirstService Residential communities usually weigh three things before approving trash valet: resident demand, cost and how much extra work it creates for management. We help with all three by preparing a proposal the manager can bring straight to the board, with the quote, the scope of service and a sample resident notice. 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. Once the service is running, most FirstService Residential boards see it as a standard amenity rather than an experiment.
Your Dedicated Account Contact
Once service is running, management has one dedicated contact for every FirstService Residential property on the account. They hold the notes for each property, from service elevator rules to who approves resident notices. Each visit is confirmed with a photo, giving the manager proof of service whenever a resident asks. When weather or holidays move collection, we update the plan and notify your office.
What Residents Experience
For residents at FirstService Residential communities, the change is simple: bagged trash goes outside the door and our crew carries it to the collection point. We prepare resident notices in English and Spanish so everyone knows what to expect. Residents do not need an app, and our office fields their questions so management is not flooded with calls. Owners who split the year between homes like knowing that collection at their FirstService Residential community keeps running in their absence. For seniors and residents with limited mobility, it removes a genuinely difficult chore.
Charge residents an amenity fee. Pay Trash Caddy a contracted per-unit rate. FirstService Residential keeps the spread as ancillary NOI at each community you manage.
