How Often Should GreenPlus™ Valet Trash Run?

The Frequency Sweet Spot: Why 5 Nights is the Industry Standard

While residents produce waste every day, the valet trash industry has identified a "sweet spot" for collection frequency that maximizes convenience while maintaining operational efficiency: five nights per week, typically Sunday through Thursday, starting at 8:00 PM. Still, every community is different!

Why this schedule? It aligns perfectly with the natural rhythms of multifamily living. Sunday evening is critical for clearing weekend accumulation before the work week begins, while midweek pickups handle daily household waste. Friday and Saturday nights are generally excluded to allow residents privacy during their leisure weekends and to reduce foot traffic in hallways during social hours.

However, frequency means nothing without reliability. A missed pickup on a Tuesday means overflow on Wednesday. That is why Green Plus doesn't just commit to a schedule; we verify it. Utilizing our Proof of Pickup® technology, our uniformed porters scan each container, providing property managers with real-time data and visual confirmation that "Every Door. Every Night.®" is more than a slogan—it’s a verifiable reality.
