Our Story

From the Ground Up

Jason Ackerman entered the waste industry in 2013, joining Pink-Trash in Wilmington, NC in a commercial sales and operations role. It was there that he identified a significant gap in how multifamily apartment communities were being served — or more accurately, underserved — when it came to waste management.

He took on the challenge of building the multifamily valet waste division from scratch. Starting with a handful of properties, he developed the operational systems, service standards, and client relationships that would eventually scale the division into a core part of the business.

That experience — building something from nothing, understanding what property managers actually need, and knowing what it takes to run a reliable waste operation — is what led Jason to launch Valet Waste Pro. The goal was simple: bring that same expertise and operational discipline to Wilmington's property management community, but with the personal attention and flexibility that only an owner-operator can provide.

How We Operate

How We Operate

Owner-Operated

When you work with Valet Waste Pro, you work directly with Jason. No account managers, no call centers — just a direct line to the person responsible for your service.

Industry-Informed

We understand occupancy rates, NOI, make-ready timelines, and what a vacant unit costs per day. Our services are designed around those realities, not just waste logistics.

Flexible by Design

Property needs change. Lease-up seasons, high-turnover periods, and budget cycles all affect what you need and when. Our contract structures are built to flex with you.

Local and Accountable

We're based in Wilmington, NC and serve the surrounding area. When something needs attention, we're close by and responsive — not a regional office routing your call.
