Managed waste services for multifamily, apartments & student housing
WHK manages waste and recycling across apartment, multifamily, and student housing portfolios. We keep chute rooms and compactors running, control recycling contamination, handle bulk items, move-outs, and illegal dumping, and stay ahead of local ordinance requirements. One point of contact, one invoice, and resident complaints that never reach your desk.
In multifamily, waste problems become resident complaints fast
Overflowing compactors, contaminated recycling, and bulk items dumped by the enclosure are the first thing residents notice and the last thing on-site teams have time to chase. Across a portfolio, that's vendor sprawl, opaque billing, and recycling mandates that vary by jurisdiction.
We keep every community clean and compliant, and pull billing and reporting into one place.
The waste your communities generate
Mixed waste and recycling, compactor service, bulk items and furniture, move-out and turnover debris, and e-waste, we manage the full waste profile across every community in your portfolio.

How WHK manages your community waste program
We start by mapping what you generate across every location, then standardize your program with one cadence and vetted recyclers everywhere. Scheduled pickups come with chain-of-custody records, and your materials are processed responsibly with diversion and activity rolled into one report.

Simplify, save, and optimize
Simplify
One managed partner across every community. We wrangle the haulers, compactors, and paperwork.
Save
Right-sized service, equipment uptime, and consolidated billing replace vendor sprawl and untracked spend.
Optimize
Portfolio-level diversion data and reporting that satisfy ownership and ESG asks.
A broker hands your assets to whoever's cheapest and disappears. We own
the outcome. Vetted recyclers, real people, full accountability

Responsible routing
Compactor and container service right-sized to occupancy, with equipment issues caught before they become downtime.
Auditable recovery
Portfolio-level diversion data rolls into one report for ownership and ESG reporting.

Why multifamily operators trust WHK
We don't broker your program. We own the relationship at every location you operate, which means we're answerable for what happens from pickup to final processing.
Every facility in our network is vetted and documented. Chain of custody records follow your materials through every step, giving you the evidence you need for compliance and ESG reporting.
Consolidated data across all locations rolls into one report. No piecing together invoices from five different vendors or explaining gaps in your diversion numbers to auditors.
We own your program end to end, not as a broker passing you between vendors.
