Recognized for our rapid growth, innovation and impact, Vanguard has been featured in Business Insider, Associated Press, Benzinga, and Digital Journal as one of the nation’s fastest-growing valet trash and waste management companies.
Residents place their household trash bags into their Vanguard-provided bins and set them outside their door within their community’s designated pickup timeframe.
A uniformed Vanguard professional arrives during your community’s scheduled pickup window (available 3, 5, 6, and 7 nights per week). We collect with precision and care. In addition we go beyond the pickup: Residents receive photo confirmation and instant notifications once trash is collected. Accountability Redefined.
Our teams follow detailed site-specific SOPs and remove trash with zero hallway disruption. We help keep breezeways, curbs, and compactors clean.
Hallways stay clear, curbs stay clean, and your property’s value climbs. Our service doesn’t just meet standards, it sets them. With every pickup, Vanguard helps increase resident satisfaction, NOI, and curb appeal backed by our unmatched quality service, consistency and commitment.
At Vanguard, we believe results speak louder than words. This comparison highlights the most common frustrations property managers face with valet trash providers, and how Vanguard’s compliance-driven systems are designed to eliminate those risks.
Below are industry-wide benchmarks, drawn from property manager forums, resident surveys, and multifamily research — alongside Vanguard’s proven results, verified across 40,000+ units and 160+ communities.
In many communities, as many as 1 in 3 residents report recurring valet waste complaints.(Based on national property manager forums and third-party industry surveys.)
Every unit in every Vanguard-serviced community is NFC and QR code enabled for complete tracking. Each day, our professionals scan, collect, and capture a date- and time-stamped photo at every pickup — even if no bin is placed outside.
Opted-in residents receive instant SMS or email notifications through Vanguard Interactive®, while property partners receive comprehensive daily service reports.
Every detail of service is audited — from individual Vanguard Professional performance to bin conditions, community cleanliness, route quality, and resident interactions. Our operations team pinpoints whether an issue stems from a specific professional, route quality, or resident — and ensures it is immediately identified, traced, corrected, and fully resolved at the source.
Through Vanguard Interactive®, residents receive real-time reminders on when to set bins out and bring them back in, along with instant photo-verified pickup alerts, after-hours support, and one-tap bin replacement requests. They also have on-demand access to live schedules and community guidelines.
To ensure we stay engaged, Vanguard distributes weekly resident surveys focused on service quality and consistency. By simplifying communication and making support effortless, Vanguard reduces non-compliance and complaints — ensuring residents always know what to expect, and when to expect it.
Every pickup, scan, and service action is automatically logged into Vanguard’s cloud system. Property partners receive comprehensive reports — not just “check-ins,” but transparent, verifiable data to support compliance, accountability, and community satisfaction.
Where the industry relies on poorly trained, high-turnover contractors, Vanguard invests in background-checked W-2 professionals, with a focus on internal long-term growth and development.
Each team member completes Vanguard’s two-month, accountability-first training program. Our professionals are among the highest paid in the field and receive one-on-one hands-on training and support from Vanguard’s compliance and field operations team, with a focus on resident etiquette and Vanguard’s proprietary accountability standards.
This investment in people ensures consistency, safety, and long-term retention.
Beyond just pickups, Vanguard teams perform proactive walkthroughs, overflow monitoring, and cleanliness audits of breezeways, curbs, and dumpsters. If it’s not clean, it’s not complete.
At Vanguard, service quality doesn’t just improve the resident experience — it directly drives financial results for property owners.
The Result: A measurable lift in Net Operating Income (NOI) through higher retention, reduced turnover costs, and stronger rent growth potential.
