Valet Trash Pricing
for Austin Properties

Transparent, custom-built pricing for every Austin apartment community and condo association. Most properties pay between $12 and $25 per unit per month.

— The honest answer

How much does valet trash service cost in Austin?

The honest answer is: it depends on your property. Valet trash pricing in Austin typically ranges from $12 to $25 per unit per month, but the actual number depends on your community size, pickup frequency, building layout, recycling preferences, and any add-on services you need.

Smaller properties (under 100 units) tend toward the higher end because route efficiency matters. Larger communities (200+ units) usually land in the middle to low range since the per-unit overhead is lower. Properties that need 7 nights per week or have complex multi-building layouts may price higher than properties using a 5-night schedule.

Unlike larger national valet trash companies that publish rigid pricing tiers, we build every quote around your property's specific situation. We walk the property, count the units, look at the dumpster placement, ask about your management priorities, and then build a custom plan with custom pricing.

We never use surprise fees, fuel surcharges, or hidden contract escalations. The price you sign for is the price you pay — through the entire term. And our quotes are always free with no obligation to sign.

— What affects price

Six factors that shape your quote.

01

Number of units

Per-unit pricing scales down as your community grows. A 50-unit community pays more per door than a 300-unit community because route efficiency matters. Larger properties get the best per-unit rates.

02

Pickup frequency

Most Austin properties choose a 5-night schedule (Sunday through Thursday). Adding a sixth or seventh night raises the cost but is worth it for high-volume properties or communities where weekend trash buildup is an issue.

03

Property layout

Garden-style communities with multiple buildings take longer to service than mid-rise properties with elevators. High-rise condos with secured access and parking garage logistics may require additional time but operate efficiently once routes are established.

04

Recycling service

Adding doorstep recycling collection to your valet trash plan typically increases the per-unit cost by $1–$3 per month. It's offered as an add-on and is highly valued by residents in Austin's environmentally conscious market.

05

Bulk pickup needs

If your property has frequent move-outs or generates regular bulk waste, bundling bulk trash pickup into your contract often saves money compared to paying for one-off bulk hauls. We offer priority bulk service for properties on our valet plans.

06

Contract length

We offer pricing discounts for longer contract terms (typically 12, 24, or 36 months). The longer the term, the more we can lock in your rate against fuel and labor cost increases. Most Austin communities choose a 12 or 24-month initial term.

— The ROI

Valet trash is a profit center, not a cost.

Most Austin apartment communities bill valet trash to residents as a mandatory amenity fee, typically marking up the wholesale rate by $5 to $15 per unit per month. On a 200-unit community, that's $12,000 to $36,000 in additional annual revenue — on top of the resident satisfaction gains.

Beyond the direct revenue, valet trash reduces dumpster overflow fines, lowers pest control costs, decreases maintenance time spent on common area cleanup, and extends the lifespan of trash chutes and compactors. For most Austin properties, these indirect savings alone exceed the cost of the service.

— FAQ

Pricing questions, answered.

Why don't you publish a flat per-unit rate?+
Because every Austin property is different. A 50-unit boutique property in Travis Heights and a 350-unit garden-style community in North Austin have completely different cost structures. We could publish flat rates, but they'd be wrong for most properties. Custom quotes mean fair pricing.
Are there any setup or onboarding fees?+
No. Setup is included in your monthly service fee. We provide resident notification materials, signage if needed, and full property walkthroughs at no extra charge.
Do you charge fuel surcharges or hidden fees?+
No. The price you sign for is the price you pay. No fuel surcharges, no contract escalations mid-term, no hidden line items. We believe pricing transparency is a baseline requirement, not a competitive advantage.
How does pricing compare to other Austin valet trash companies?+
We're competitive with other Austin providers and often beat national chains on price. More importantly, we deliver on the things that actually matter to property managers: showing up on time, daily reports, and answering the phone. Our quotes typically come in within 5–10% of competitor pricing.
Can residents pay for valet trash directly?+
Most Austin properties bill valet trash to residents as part of their monthly amenity fees or rent. We work directly with property management. We don't bill individual residents.
What's the minimum contract term?+
Standard contracts are 12 months. We also offer 24 and 36-month terms with locked-in pricing and slight discounts. We don't do month-to-month for valet trash because building a stable route requires predictability.
