This is the walkthrough I give every property manager who calls us.
Step one: site survey
Residents will not walk more than ~150 feet out of their way. At a 200-unit complex in Eastvale, that's 4-6 stations rather than 2 big ones.
Step two: installation
$285-450 per station depending on whether we're core-drilling concrete or mounting to a post. Each station includes dispenser, sealed receptacle, bilingual signage, and 60 days of bags.
Every service visit is governed by our 47-point standard.
Step three: service frequency
Properties that prepay six months get 10% off the whole contract.
What goes wrong
A property in Norco I inherited had stations with broken lids and 12-day-old liners. Within 3 weeks of switching to our schedule, complaint tickets dropped to zero.
