Valet Waste

Somebody in my apartment complex threw some trash into the bin Valet Waste left for me.
The next day, a complaint notice was wedged into my door, by someone on their staff, warning me that if I failed to comply with their regulations my trash service would be suspended.
I use white, standard trash bags that I tie neatly at the top. There is never, ever trash outside of the bin. Many days, I don’t even have trash.
I found this notice highly insulting, not to mention condescending. I also was chastised for leaving my bin sitting outside my door. Cool. I can solve that problem.
However, I am not responsible for the irresponsibility of the 20-​somethings here who stumble around drunk, on any given night. We frequently have beer cans in the bushes and there are cigarette butts litering my hallway. A neighbor who lives in a different building says people also are dumping trash in her bin.
Our management is not great at enforcing rules regarding infractions in common areas, but they are swift to retaliate to specific complaints. The last thing I need is to be written up by an unctuous garbage-​hauler who didn’t like the red beer cup someone threw into my trash.
Adding to my aggravation is the fact I am charged $ 20/​month for this «amenity» despite the fact the dumpster is just a few feet from my door.
I won’t be leaving trash out in the future, which I am sure will add to their greater efficiency.

Trash pick up service and overpriced in my opinion. I can take out my own trash and it’s «free».
