What is Valet Service offered by Garbage Gurus?
​
Waste is a fact of life. Week after week trash, recycling & food scraps piles up and needs to disappear for the loop to start anew. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Your life is busy. You can't be there or you don't want to drag your trash, single-stream recycling, glass-only recycling and food scraps to the curb and back and you're sick of battling the driveway, weather and wildlife. Either way, you definitely have better things to do than to worry about your waste. Don’t think about it. Garbage Gurus will make it disappear.
The Garbage Gurus Valet (a.k.a., white-glove or VIP) Service is a worry-free option for removing trash, single-stream recycling, glass-only recycling and now food scraps for composting. Simply transfer your trash, recycling or food scraps from inside your house to the cart(s), tote(s) or bucket(s) in your garage, shed or front porch. From there, even from behind a closed doors, Garbage Gurus will dispose of your waste without any other efforts required of you.
How does the Garbage Gurus Valet (a.k.a., white-glove or VIP) Service work?
​
Click on Buy Plans and Pricing and "Select" a plan to schedule your service needs online and provide us with details about how to access the trash or recycling cart(s), can(s), bin(s) or receptacle(s). Sharing the key code with us to remotely open the garage or lockboxes to access keys are the most common methods. If you're wondering, we are bonded and insured. If you're not comfortable with us entering your garage, that's no problem. We'll pick up your waste from just outside the garage door or from your front porch according to your preference and instructions. Next, we add you to the route for the day Garbage Gurus services your area. A Garbage Gurus handler will drive into your driveway with a small, compacting truck, will gain access to, remove, and empty your waste materials, will return the empty cart(s) to its storage position, and will take two pictures, your empty cart(s) and your closed garage door, and will text or email you a brief message informing you that your pick up has been completed. It's that simple. When you schedule a weekly pick up, we will repeat that process over and over again until you tell us to do otherwise.

***Garbage Gurus may accommodate you with this more expensive on-demand service in between your bookings. However, if you've been instructed or conditioned to think this on-demand service is a must-have when operating a vacation home, this is not true. While it is a nice touch, it is an unnecessarily high expense for the little value it creates. The founders of Garbage Gurus have been operating a 4 bedroom/ 3 bathroom, vacation rental home in Breckenridge for the last few years often renting at over $1,000/ night with a standard weekly trash and recycling service without any issues. Communication and convenience are what is important. Vacationers simply don't want responsibility when it comes to removal, a.k.a. curbside pickup. Guests perfectly understand routine trash and recycling removal schedules. Dropping a closed bag of garbage on top of another bag of garbage and closing the lid takes all of 1 or 2 seconds. Guests do not care about adding trash to trash or recycling to recycling when they know it will be removed on a set day without their involvement. Garbage Gurus will provide you with written content to add to your pre-stay emails, flyers to insert into Welcome Books, stickers to clearly labels carts as Trash, Single-Stream Recycling and Glass-Only Recycling, and posters to put near carts and totes to reinforce local guidelines and all of the necessary Garbage Gurus details such as What to Expect and When to Expect It. If you remain unconvinced and are more comfortable with investing the time, energy and money into coordinating multiple pickups each week, rest assured. Garbage Gurus will schedule your check-out dates and pick ups into its routes.
