How Valet Trash Pickup Works
From your resident's front door to final disposal — here's the full pickup process.
Tied, leak-proof bags placed in an approved doorstep container by the pickup cutoff time.
Our uniformed team walks each hallway, collecting from every unit on the schedule.
Collected bags are brought to the property dumpster or compactor — keeping common areas spotless.
Every route is logged and confirmed. Any exceptions are flagged to your property manager immediately.
Flexible Scheduling
Choose 3, 4, or 5 nights per week. Most properties opt for Sunday–Thursday evening pickup windows.
Clear Resident Rules
We provide move-in packet inserts and posted signage covering bag requirements, placement, and pickup hours.
Holiday Coverage
All holiday schedule changes are communicated at least 2 weeks in advance with ready-to-post resident notices.
Multi-Family Recycling Programs
Give your residents an eco-friendly, doorstep recycling option that's just as convenient as valet trash. Simple Pickup's recycling program is designed specifically for apartment communities — the same reliable crew, the same scheduled pickup, just sorted differently.
Houston apartment communities that offer recycling see measurable gains in resident satisfaction and meet the sustainability expectations that today's renters increasingly demand.
- ✓Doorstep recycling pickup — same schedule as valet trash
- ✓Sorted collection — paper, plastic, glass, cardboard, metals
- ✓Resident education materials & bin labels included
- ✓Works standalone or bundled with valet trash service
- ✓Helps properties meet sustainability goals & ESG targets
- ✓Available across all 14+ Houston-area cities we serve
Bundle with Valet Trash
Most communities pair recycling with nightly valet trash. One crew, one schedule, one invoice — seamless for property managers and residents alike.
Resident Education Kit
We provide printed bin labels, door hanger guides, and digital templates to help residents understand what goes where — reducing contamination.
Sustainability Reporting
Get quarterly weight diversion estimates to support your property's sustainability reporting, ESG documentation, or green leasing programs.
Bulk Trash & Common Area Cleanup
Large items, move-out debris, and common area clutter require more than a nightly valet pickup. Our bulk trash and common area cleanup service handles the heavy lifting — oversized furniture, appliances, mattresses, and property-wide cleanups.
Whether you need a scheduled monthly cleanup day, move-out unit clearing, or a one-time dumpster area deep clean, Simple Pickup provides fast, professional service.

- ✓Move-out unit debris clearing
