Multi-Family Waste Solutions Catered
White-Glove Refuse Management for Owners, Managers, and Multi-Family Communities
At Copia Resources, we specialize in delivering comprehensive, high-touch waste and refuse solutions for multi-family communities across the West Coast. Waste and recycling programs are designed to make your property look its best, operate more efficiently, and provide a higher-quality living experience for residents. From trash and recycling services to composting programs and waste diversion initiatives, we take the burden of waste management off your onsite teams — so owners, property managers, and operators can focus on what they do best.
We also understand the demands of managing large apartment complexes and multi-family properties. From maintaining pristine curb appeal to meeting complex food waste and recycling mandates, our team brings decades of industry experience, a hands-on approach, and a deep understanding of what makes a community thrive.
Complete Refuse Management
A Turnkey Approach
Managing waste on a multi-family property shouldn’t require constant oversight. That’s why our complete refuse management service is designed to take the pressure off your staff and streamline your operations. We handle everything from start to finish — including sorting, hauling, and cleaning — so your team can stay focused on running the property, not chasing down trash issues.
Our waste management plans are fully customizable to fit each property’s unique needs. Whether you’re overseeing a mid-size apartment community or a large multi-family complex, we’ll design a solution that reduces costs, improves efficiency, and enhances the living experience for residents.
Sustainability Through Food Waste and Compost Sorting
Across the West Coast, food waste recycling and composting requirements are becoming stricter for multi-family properties. Our compost sorting services allow your property to stay compliant with local waste diversion regulations, reduce contamination, and avoid costly fines. Plus, with our Grab-a-Bag Program, composting is simple to adopt and quickly becomes second nature for residents.
Complete Bulk Item Management and Hauling Services
No one wants old mattresses or broken furniture piling up around the dumpsters. Our bulk item management and unlimited hauling services keep your community clean, and help maintain a polished appearance across the property. When residents leave surprise piles behind, we handle the removal quickly and hassle-free — no questions asked.
Bin Pulling, Pushing, and Training
Moving bins shouldn’t take up your maintenance team’s day. Copia Resources handles bin pulling, pushing, and training — from staging bins for pickup to transferring open-top bins to compactors and back. Whether bins are in garages, enclosures, or hard-to-reach areas, we move them safely and on time, using the right equipment when needed. By taking this work off your staff, we help prevent injuries, reduce wear and tear on property equipment, and keep bins returned promptly after service so they’re never left sitting out. The result: a cleaner, safer, and more organized property.
Pressure Washing
Keep trash areas and common spaces fresh, sanitary, and pest-free with Copia Resources pressure washing services. We remove built-up grime, food waste, and spills in bin enclosures, loading docks, parking garages, and other high-traffic areas. Regular cleanings help control odors, improve curb appeal, and maintain a healthier environment for residents.
Upper Floor Trash Room Cleaning & Maintenance
Overflowing trash rooms can quickly lead to odors, pests, and resident complaints. Our upper floor service ensures chutes are cleared and cleaned, and trash rooms are properly maintained, so every floor stays functional and problem-free. With regular maintenance, we help you stay ahead of problems, reduce emergency calls, and keep things running smoothly.
Turnover Support
Unit Clean-Outs
When residents move out, units often get left behind with unwanted furniture, bulky items, and debris. Our unit clean-out service ensures the space is cleared quickly and efficiently so your maintenance team can focus on preparing the unit for the next resident.
We handle the heavy lifting by hauling large furniture and clearing out leftover trash so your onsite team doesn’t have to. With our fast turnaround, you’ll minimize downtime, reduce stress on your onsite team, and keep move-outs from slowing down the turnover process.
Valet Trash Services
Our Valet Trash Services provide residents with the ultimate convenience while keeping your property clean and clutter-free. With doorstep trash collection, residents simply place bagged trash outside their doors and our reliable team takes care of the rest, transporting everything to the property’s designated waste areas.
We offer flexible service options and added transparency to fit your community’s needs:
- Flexible pickup schedules, 5–7 days a week
- Professional, dependable staff you can count on
- Bundled service options to streamline waste management
With Copia Resources, valet service is more than just a resident amenity. It is a consistent, dependable program you can count on to keep your property running smoothly.
Onsite Porter Services
Our porter services provide a consistent, detail-oriented presence to maintain high-traffic areas, walkways, entryways, and common spaces. A well-kept community makes a lasting impression — on both current and prospective residents.
Bill Audits and Cost Control
Trash bills can be confusing, especially with fluctuating service fees. Our bill audit service reviews your waste invoices for accuracy and identifies any overcharges or opportunities to reduce costs. We’ve saved communities thousands by catching errors or duplicate services that went unnoticed.
Your trust matters to us, which is why we back our service with a guarantee. If a property is billed an overage or contamination fee due to our team not properly doing their job, we cover it and issue a credit on a future invoice.
Advanced Odor Control
Unpleasant odors can quickly impact both residents and your property’s reputation. That’s why we offer a variety of odor control solutions tailored to your property’s needs, including:
- Foamstreme
- CR Airstreme
- CR Hydroxyl (Note: Not available in California)
These systems neutralize smells at the source — whether in trash rooms, chutes, or near enclosures — helping you maintain a cleaner, fresher environment that keeps residents satisfied and your property looking its best.
Strategic Consulting Services
At Copia Resources, our consulting offerings goes beyond day-to-day maintenance. Whether you’re managing a new development, working through acquisition planning, or need help with complete refuse operational planning, our team can help you create systems that are scalable, sustainable, and efficient from day one.
We’ve supported projects across the West Coast, providing expert guidance tailored to property size, waste regulations, and resident behavior patterns, ensuring every community has a waste program built for long-term success.
Local Experience That Makes a Difference
We’re proud to serve multi-family communities across the West Coast. Our team’s familiarity with local and state waste regulations, composting mandates, and recycling initiatives ensures your property stays compliant without adding extra work for your team.
