Valet Trash Services › Waste Audits
A waste audit is not an ongoing relationship — it is one visit, one assessment, one written report on exactly what your property’s waste stream costs, how your current vendor is actually performing, and where diversion is falling short. Useful on its own, whether or not you ever hire us for anything else. Call 240-413-0233 to schedule one.

- Useful for lease-renewal negotiations, budget planning, or simply understanding what you are actually paying for.
- No obligation to switch providers — the report stands on its own.
- Typically completed within a week of the property walkthrough.
What a Waste Audit Actually Delivers
One property visit, one composition and cost review, one written report — that is the entire scope. Unlike apartment waste consulting, which can be an ongoing advisory relationship, a waste audit is a discrete, single deliverable: a clear picture of where you stand today.
What Gets Assessed
Waste Stream Composition
What is actually going into your dumpsters and enclosures — how much is genuine trash versus material that should be diverted through recycling or bulk removal.
Current Costs
Line-item vendor pricing compared against staff hours spent on overflow, missed pickups, and unbudgeted cleanup calls — the true cost picture, not just the invoice total.
Vendor Performance
Missed-service patterns, reporting quality (or absence of it), and whether current contract terms actually protect the property.
Diversion Rate
An honest estimate of what percentage of your waste stream is currently being diverted versus landfilled — useful input for any sustainability or compliance reporting your property needs.
When to Schedule One
Ahead of a lease renewal negotiation with an existing vendor. During annual budget planning, when you need real numbers rather than last year’s line item repeated. Any time you simply are not sure whether your current setup is working — an audit replaces guessing with a report.
What Happens After
The written findings are yours to use however you want — negotiate with your current vendor, take it to ownership for a budget conversation, or use it as the basis for a property waste management proposal from us. No obligation either way.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a waste audit different from apartment waste consulting?

How long does an audit take?
Typically completed within a week of the property walkthrough.
What’s included in the written report?
Waste stream composition, current cost analysis, vendor performance review, and an estimated diversion rate.
