Your Trusted Partner in waste management

The Vanguard Legacy

Vanguard wasn’t created to blend in, it was built to lead. From day one, we committed to elevating waste management with unmatched reliability, a hospitality-driven experience, and real accountability.

 

We made a promise: to bring integrity to every pickup, to empower residents with consistent quality and proof of service, and to walk every community like we live there ourselves.

 

Today, we proudly serve 160+ communities and over 40,000 homes across the U.S. Vanguard has been featured in Business Insider, Associated Press, Benzinga, and Digital Journal for our rapid growth, innovation, and impact in the valet trash industry.

 

We are the nation’s fastest-growing valet trash & waste management company, and we’re just getting started. Because at Vanguard, we’re not just taking out the trash, we’re raising the standard.
