Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions
Why do apartments need trash room patrol?+
Sacramento apartment dumpster corrals are the #1 target for illegal dumping from outside contractors (mattress, appliance, construction debris) and for overnight encampment. Every load costs $200–$800 in bulk-pickup fees; nightly patrol pays for itself in the first month at most Class B properties.
Do you lock the dumpster corral gate?+
Yes — if the corral has a gate, we lock it at your posted curfew and unlock for morning pickup. Photo-timestamped log every night. Waste Management, Recology, and Republic Services all pick up faster at properties with reliable overnight gate lockup.
How do you deter overnight encampment?+
Nightly presence + photo-verified log is the single most effective deterrent. Encampment scouts read a property in 3–5 nights; a marked patrol showing up on random schedule inside that window pushes them to the next block. Bilingual verbal turn-out on any encampment attempt.
What about hazmat and biohazard in the trash room?+
Photo-logged and escalated to management by 7am — needles, biohazard bags, meth-lab waste, or dumped hazmat. We don't touch it; we document it for your abatement vendor and coordinate with SPD non-emergency if criminal.
Do you cover trash chutes and compactor rooms?+
Yes — indoor trash chute rooms and compactor closets get walked, photo-logged, and locked. Compactor safety switch verified off if that's property protocol. Call (530) 902-9390.
