Chandler property owners and community managers: simplify recycling while boosting resident satisfaction. National Doorstep’s valet trash & recycling service aligns with the City of Chandler’s guidance to reduce contamination and enhance NOI — all with a turnkey program.
In Chandler, residential properties of four units and larger (apartments, townhomes, mobile home parks) are not serviced by the City; owners/managers must contract with a city-permitted hauler. There is no explicit, citywide multifamily recycling mandate, but offering on-site recycling can improve leasing performance and sustainability outcomes.
- NOI & Property Value Lift: Increase ancillary income and improve retention with a proven amenity.
- Resident Convenience & Cleanliness: Doorstep pickup reduces overflow and litter, improving property appearance.
- Recycling Education & Signage: Move-in onboarding, signage, and digital resident resources included.
- Local Program Alignment: Compatible with Chandler — Commercial Trash & Recycling and Recycling–Solid Waste Collection Center.
