Valet Trash for Apartment Communities in DFW

For an apartment owner or manager, doorstep valet trash is the simplest amenity to add and one of the few that can pay for itself. A uniformed porter collects bagged trash and recycling from each resident's door on set evenings and carries it to your compactor, so residents skip the walk to the dumpster and your breezeways stay clean. T.A.P. Contracting Services runs valet trash for communities of every size across Dallas–Fort Worth, priced per occupied unit and set up to launch without disrupting your on-site team.

How per-unit pricing actually works

Valet trash is quoted per occupied unit, per month, which is what lets it sit cleanly on a rent roll. You pay for the units in service, not the ones sitting vacant, so the line item tracks your occupancy instead of fighting it. Most DFW owners land in the range of $8 to $12 per occupied unit and bill residents $20 to $35, so the amenity generally clears a margin while covering its own cost. The full breakdown, with ranges by community size, is in our valet trash cost guide.

How onboarding works

What a per-unit bid includes

• A written per-occupied-unit rate, with no per-bag surprises
• Scheduled doorstep collection on your chosen nights
• Haul-away to your compactor or dumpster
• Matching, labeled bins supplied on request
• Recycling collection on designated nights
• Uniformed, background-checked crews
• A certificate of insurance naming your ownership entity
• A route that scales as the community leases up

Reliable and insured, because a missed night costs you

At a rental community, trash is visible. A crew that skips a night leaves bags in the breezeways and a bad taste with residents who are one tap away from a public review. We build routes to be finished every scheduled night, keep crews uniformed and background-checked, and carry full insurance with a certificate naming your ownership entity. If you run a portfolio, we can hold the same standard across every property and give you a single point of contact rather than a different vendor at each address.
