Doorstep Garbage Service
Are you tired of overflowing dumpsters on your property? Apartment complexes generate a lot of trash, and even several onsite dumpsters emptied twice weekly are often insufficient to keep up. Inevitably, bulk items are also left next to dumpsters, incurring additional costs and coordination for junk removal services.
Garbage service for a traditional single-family home arrives once per week. Meanwhile, residential homes generate an average of 4.9 pounds of trash per person per day. Weekly trash service provides large cans to store trash for the week, but this is impossible in apartments and many multifamily homes.
Valet trash service is an option to help keep the property tidy, but it doesn’t decrease the burden on dumpsters onsite or include bulk trash pickup.
Luckily, you now have doorstep garbage service as an option! Our service collects garbage from the resident’s doorstep and hauls it away, five days a week. Our customers also benefit from bulk item pickup at no additional charge. American Junk Removal offers this top-notch service for one affordable monthly price.
How Does Doorstep Trash Service Work?
At American Junk Removal, our doorstep valet trash service starts with picking up one 13-gallon bag of trash from each unit five days per week and removing that trash offsite. Your dumpsters will handle the trash from the weekends and overflow trash from the holidays. Any bulk items placed for pickup will be removed when the doorstep trash service occurs.
Our doorstep trash service is priced at $50 per unit per month. This is about $20 more per month than the cost of a single-family home’s weekly trash service, but we pick your garbage up five days per week and include bulk item pickup.
3 Reasons to Avoid Overflowing Dumpsters with Doorstep Garbage Service
Savvy property managers know that overflowing dumpsters are a problem in more ways than one, but here are a few things you might not have considered.
- Overflowing dumpsters and bulk trash reduce curb appeal. It’s hard to attract new residents when trash is visible in the parking lots. Daily trash removal ensures your property is presentable, sanitary, and safe.
- Overflowing dumpsters attract rodents. Rodents and other pests are attracted to trash, particularly kitchen trash. Removing this trash daily reduces rodents and pests.
- Reducing reliance on dumpsters decreases odors. Odors from food waste, bathroom waste, and dirty diapers can really detract from the enjoyment of the property. Removing these daily reduces odors.
Daily removal of trash and bulk items resolves all of these issues. You’ll still need dumpsters onsite for holidays and weekends, but you can decrease that cost with fewer pickups.
How Does Doorstep Trash Service Compare to Only Using Dumpsters?
Doorstep trash service does come with an increased cost, but the benefits for your property far outweigh them. Additionally, the cost of dumpsters will be decreased, offsetting some of the cost.
It is normal for a family to generate a 13-gallon bag of trash every one to two days. If you have 500 units, that’s 500 bags of trash or 6,500 gallons per day. There are 201 gallons in a cubic yard, meaning a 500-unit community produces 32.3 cubic yards of garbage per day. The average apartment dumpster holds 30 cubic yards, so you would need to empty your dumpsters daily or have as many as seven dumpsters.
The cost to empty one 30 cubic yard dumpster five days per week is ~$12,500 per month, and you still have overflow and bulk items to deal with on the weekends and holidays. Traditional valet trash service costs about $15 per unit per month but does not remove the trash offsite.
Our doorstep garbage service costs $50 per unit per month or $25,000 per month for a community with 500 units. It includes collecting trash from the resident’s doorstep, loading it in a garbage truck, and hauling it away to be properly disposed of. Our service also includes weekly bulk pickup to ensure that your property stays clean and presentable. You’ll reduce your dependence on dumpsters, which helps offset the cost, and for one price, you’ll be certain that your property remains free of trash and clutter.
