Waste management for property managers
Hand off sorting, bulk, hauler disputes, and city notices. We run waste at multifamily communities across Northern California, from apartments to affordable housing.
Stop running the waste operation yourself
Green Glove Heroes runs the waste operation at multifamily properties across Northern California, from apartments to affordable housing, so property managers can stop running it. Our crews are on-site Sunday through Friday sorting trash, recycling, and organics, and they correct contamination before pickup. We handle bulk and deal with your hauler and city for you, and you get links to dated photos of every visit. It saves you time and improves operational efficiency while neutralizing AI truck penalties.
What waste costs a property manager
The hauler bill is only part of what waste costs you. There's the Monday morning at an overflowing enclosure, and the resident review that mentions the smell. A contamination fee shows up and nobody can explain it, then a city notice lands with a deadline, or your maintenance tech loses two hours to trash while the turn sits. The best multifamily properties in Northern California trust our proprietary, superhero-grade waste management and decontamination solutions. Property managers come to us to run a tighter operation and get ahead of AI truck penalties. It protects property value and makes the budget easier to hold. Residents are happier, so turnover drops, and the property carries less liability while your team saves time.

Common trash problems we fix
- Overflow before pickup day. We right-size service and reposition containers, and bulk gets staged.
- Contamination fees. We hand-sort before the truck photographs the containers and dispute any fee that lands anyway with our photos.
- Dumping. Crews sort it daily and we remove it with your scheduled bulk removal, or sooner if you ask, then use gates and lighting to discourage it.
- The compactor is down again. We monitor it daily and schedule the servicer, and we'll tell you honestly whether it should stay.
- A notice from the city. We take that call for you.
- Residents don't sort. We coordinate training from your city's zero-waste team.
SB 1383, in one paragraph
California requires your property to provide organics collection and keep the streams clean, and to educate residents. The zero-waste expert at your hauler or county files the reporting, and we keep the property compliant on the ground six days a week. SB 1383 Support
What you'll see in 90 days
Getting the hauler's approval and implementing the changes takes 30 to 60 days, then about 30 more to dial in. By then the enclosure is clean every morning and you understand your hauler bill. Contamination charges should be coming down, and you have a photo record to pull up in a meeting.

Questions
We start with the bill, right-sizing service to what the property generates and fixing the billing errors. Contamination is the next leak, so we stop it before the hauler can charge for it, and if there's a compactor we look hard at whether it's worth keeping. Our clients have cut hauler bills 27% to 58%.
You get back the trash calls, the hauler hold music, the city notices, and the enclosure walk-throughs. One client's maintenance team got at least two hours a day back.
Usually the service is sized wrong or the containers are in the wrong place, or bulk is taking up container space. We measure it and fix the cause.
It's a hauler charge for the wrong material in a container, and cameras on the truck now often catch it. Daily sorting prevents it, and when one lands anyway, our photos dispute it.
No. We got every result on our site with the property's existing hauler.
We reset the streams and document the correction. Until it's closed, we're your contact with the hauler or city.
Yes. As part of our on-site service, we remove bulk items residents leave behind, and resident requests come through you.
Yes, and our largest program is a 65-property affordable housing portfolio.
Term, billing, and cancellation are set out in your service agreement. Consulting depends on your tier, and the premium service tier includes it.
