Trash Guidelines

A few simple rules keep your community clean and your pickups running smoothly.

Quick & Easy

Simple Trash Rules & Guidelines

Follow these nine simple rules so we can keep your community clean, safe, and beautiful — and keep service running on time.

01

Tie All Bags Securely

Make sure all trash bags are tightly tied to prevent spills or leaks during pickup.

02

No Loose Trash or Open Bags

Keep all trash properly bagged with no loose items. Securely bagged waste protects our staff and keeps service clean and efficient for everyone.

03

Double-Bag Pet Waste & Diapers

These items must be double-bagged to contain odor and avoid hazardous exposure.

04

No Sharp Objects in Bags

Needles, broken glass, or sharp metal must be disposed of safely outside the valet system.

05

No Leaking or Oversized Bags

Make sure bags do not contain liquids and do not exceed 30 pounds.

06

Place Trash in the Approved Spot

Set trash at your doorstep or the designated area as outlined by your property.

07

No Recyclables in Trash Bags

Separate recyclables as directed by your property; bags with mixed contents may not be collected.

08

No Liquids in Trash Bags

Liquids can leak, stain sidewalks and breezeways, and create hazards for our staff and property.

09

No Hazardous or Medical Waste

These materials are not allowed and pose serious health and safety risks.

The Reason

Why These Rules Matter

Following these simple rules helps protect the health and safety of our team. Every night, our employees handle hundreds of bags, and improperly disposed waste — especially liquids, sharp objects, or biohazards — can cause real harm. Leaking bags, in particular, can permanently stain walkways and create slip hazards for both residents and staff.

By ensuring your trash is bagged properly, placed out on time, and free of dangerous materials, you help us keep your community clean, safe, and beautiful. It also allows us to complete routes efficiently and provide consistent, on-time service to everyone.

We sincerely appreciate your cooperation and look forward to serving your community with excellence. If you have any concerns or special requests, please submit a quick request through the resident app.
