For residential customers, we take your trash cans to the curb, return them after pickup, and sanitize them monthly. For apartment communities, we provide convenient door-to-dumpster valet service that keeps properties cleaner and residents happier.
No more rushing home to bring your cans back. No more dirty, bacteria-filled bins. No more hassle. The Can Valet handles trash day so you don't have to.

About
We do the easiest chore you will NEVER do again.
For residential customers (single-family, up to 2 cans), we take the cans to the curb the evening before trash pickup day, starting at 6 pm. The next day, after trash has been collected, we place their cans back in their designated spot.
We also deep clean and sanitize the cans once a month to reduce the approximately 170 different bacteria present.
We service commercial residential properties (apartments) upon agreement with the property manager or management company for a fixed rate.
The apartment residents only need to tie the top of their trash bag and place the can outside the apartment door by 8 pm, Sunday through Thursday evening.
Starting at 8 pm, our team comes through the apartment building(s), collects the trash bags, and delivers them to the dumpster area. Once all bags have been collected each day, we sweep the dumpster area to help keep it clean. The residents just need to retrieve the trash can from in front of their apartment door.
Services
Trash can from house to curb and back again, with monthly cleaning and sanitizing of your cans for $25.00 a month — billed as a simple monthly subscription.
Residents place their tied, bagged trash outside their door by 8 pm, Sunday through Thursday. Starting at 8 pm, our crew collects each bag, takes it to the dumpster, and cleans the dumpster area. Residents just retrieve their can later — that's it.

Founder · Veteran
I am a veteran and started this business to help people with a job no one likes to do.
If trash pickup is on Friday, for example, no one wants to come home from work and retrieve a trash can. We will do it for you and help keep your cans clean.
Remember when getting into a stranger's car or having your fast food delivered seemed strange? Today, companies like Uber, DoorDash, and Instacart have changed the way we live.
We're here to do the same for your trash day.
