Trash is the #1 resident complaint. It doesn’t have to be.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Valet trash service is a resident amenity where scheduled trash is collected directly from each apartment doorstep and transported to the community's dumpster or compactor. Residents simply place their designated container outside during the scheduled collection window, and our trained couriers handle the rest. The result is a cleaner community, greater resident convenience, and increased property value.
-
Trash Fairies is active in seven states across the southeast-U.S. In the Greater Charleston region, our trash pickup service runs on a set schedule you approve. Residents simply place their trash outside their door by 8:00pm, and they wake up the next morning to clean hallways and breezeways.
-
Valet trash pricing is based on the number of occupied units, pickup frequency, and your property's layout. Many apartment communities include the cost as a monthly amenity or trash fee, making the service cost-neutral—or even revenue-positive. Contact us for a customized quote tailored to your property.
-
The short answer: Yes. Valet trash pickup is a daily, visible perk residents notice and appreciate, which is exactly the kind of amenity that nudges renewal decisions. Cleaner common areas also mean fewer complaints, better online reviews, and stronger tour impressions for prospects. Happy residents who tour a spotless property tend to sign and stay.
-
Residents may place one securely tied 13-gallon kitchen-size bag of normal household trash in their designated valet trash container during the scheduled collection window. Recycling should be placed in the appropriate recycling bags (clear or blue) if recycling service is available on site
For safety reasons, we do not collect hazardous materials, liquids, hot ashes, construction debris, furniture, appliances, electronics, tires, automotive fluids, medical waste, or any oversized items that cannot fit inside the designated container.
We provide clear resident guidelines at move-in to ensure everyone understands the collection procedures and prohibited items, helping keep the community clean and the service running smoothly.
-

Yes. Every courier goes through vetting before they set foot on your property, and the service is fully insured — so your residents and your risk management team can both rest easy. Professionalism on-site is part of the amenity, not an afterthought.
-
Dumpster service removes trash from the property. Valet trash improves how trash gets there.
Residents no longer have to walk their trash to the dumpster each evening. Instead, they place a securely tied bag in their valet trash container, and our couriers handle the rest.

-
No. We provide all valet trash containers at no additional cost as part of our service.
If a container becomes damaged, worn, or needs to be replaced, we'll exchange it free of charge. We simply ask that the old container be returned so we can properly dispose of or recycle it.
Our goal is to make valet trash as simple as possible. There are no container purchase fees, no replacement fees, and no hidden costs—just reliable service backed by exceptional customer support.
