Houston's Trusted Valet Trash Professionals
Simple Pickup was built on a simple idea: apartment residents deserve better than hauling trash bags to a distant dumpster. We deliver reliable, professional doorstep trash collection across the greater Houston area.
We believe that when a community is clean, residents stay longer, property managers sleep better, and neighborhoods thrive. That's the Simple Pickup promise — delivered to your doorstep, every scheduled night.
Built in Houston, for Houston
Simple Pickup started in 2024 with a clear mission: help create a cleaner city by giving Houston apartment communities a better way to handle waste. Property managers were struggling with overflowing dumpsters, resident complaints, and inconsistent third-party services — and residents deserved better.
Our founders — Houston locals — built Simple Pickup from the ground up with a focus on reliability, transparent communication, and real accountability to the property managers and residents who depend on us every night.
Within our first year, we surpassed 100 active properties and expanded across 14 cities in the greater Houston area — from Katy and Sugar Land to The Woodlands and League City. In 2025, growing demand led us to double our team and upgrade our equipment. In 2026, we introduced Multi-Family Recycling Programs to give communities an eco-friendly doorstep option.
We're not a national franchise. We're a Houston company that knows Houston neighborhoods, works directly with Houston property managers, and understands the unique demands of the Texas Gulf Coast market.
