Seamless Onboarding Process
We manage the entire rollout process to ensure a smooth transition for your property. Our goal is to make the launch of valet trash service simple for your staff and easy for your residents to adopt. The process is clear and communicative from start to finish.
- Agreement & Scheduling: We finalize the service agreement and set a 'go-live' date.
- Receptacle Delivery: We deliver new, clean receptacles to every unit one week prior to service launch.
- Resident Notification: We provide professionally designed materials explaining the service, schedule, and guidelines for you to distribute to residents.
- Service Launch: Our valets begin nightly collection. A member of our management team is on-site for the first night to ensure everything runs perfectly.
- Follow-Up: We check in with property management the following day to review the first night and address any immediate feedback.
Exception Handling and Support
Our service is built on reliability, but we have clear protocols for when things don't go as planned. We provide property managers with a direct line to our local operations manager for immediate assistance, ensuring issues are resolved swiftly and professionally.
Common exceptions are handled via our nightly reporting and support system:
- Missed Bins: If a resident forgets to put their bin out, we simply move on. If our valet misses a bin that was out on time, a photo-documented report is sent, and our manager will coordinate a resolution.
- Improper Bagging/Waste: For violations, our valets will tag the bag with a clear, non-confrontational notice explaining the issue. The details and a photo are logged in the nightly report for management.
- Oversized Items: Residents are instructed to contact property management for proper disposal of oversized items. If left out, we will document it in the nightly report and can arrange for a special pickup if requested.
