Property management trash out in San Marcos, TX

This is the problem every property manager in San Marcos knows by sight. The bin is full, the gate will not shut, and the overflow is stacked on the concrete around it. Once that happens the trash hauler drives past on their route day, because the truck cannot get a clean lift on a bin buried in furniture.

Bulk items are the cause. A dumpster is sized for bagged household trash on a weekly cycle, not a mattress, not a sectional, not a broken dresser somebody left behind on a move out. One resident moving out on the wrong weekend puts the whole enclosure out of service.

The fix is not a bigger bin. The fix is taking the bulk out of the enclosure so the bin goes back to doing the job it was sized for.

Bulk comes out first

Everything oversized gets pulled off the pad and out of the bin and goes on the trailer. Mattresses, furniture, appliances, carpet rolls. That is what the bin cannot compact and what the route truck will not take.

The pad gets swept

Loose trash, cardboard and glass around the enclosure get picked up. A clean pad is the part residents actually see, and it is the part that stops the pile from restarting the next day.

One trip to the landfill

The load goes straight to the scale. See the landfill run from the same day for where it ends up.
