What is a trash valet service?

2 min read

A trash valet service moves your garbage and recycling cans to the curb on collection day and brings them back once they are emptied. You keep your same hauler and schedule. All that changes is that you no longer have to remember or do the hauling.

What it includes

On your regular pickup day, a valet brings your cans from the side or back of your house to the curb before the truck arrives, then returns them to their spot after collection. One flat monthly rate usually covers every can you have, with no per can charge.

Who it is for

It is popular with people who travel often or work long hours, homes with long, steep, or icy driveways, and anyone who has missed pickup day one too many times. Many households pair it with monthly can cleaning so the cans are moved and kept fresh in one routine.

Common questions

Does trash valet replace my city trash pickup?+

No. You keep your existing city or private hauler. A valet only moves the cans to the curb and back on your normal collection day.

Is there a limit on how many cans?+

Usually not. A flat residential rate typically covers every can you have, however many that is.
