The Hidden Cost of In-House Waste Management: What Maintenance Teams Aren’t Saying Out Loud

Free Your Maintenance Team: Why Outsourcing Trash Management Makes Communities Run Smoother
In many multifamily communities, the maintenance team is expected to “do it all.” From repairs and landscaping to turnovers and emergency calls, their workload is already demanding. But when trash management, especially daily waste collection, bulk item removal, and overflowing dumpsters, gets layered on top, it can quickly become overwhelming.
