Valet Living • Ankeny, IA

26d • $21 • Onsite

About The Position

Valet Living is hiring part-time Doorstep Trash Collection Specialists, also called Service Valets, to help keep apartment communities clean, safe, and welcoming. On service nights, specialists collect bagged trash and cardboard recycling from residents’ doorsteps and transport it to the on-site compactor using their own open-bed pickup truck or a vehicle capable of towing an open utility trailer. Specialists serve one or more nearby apartment communities within the same local area. The role involves walking, climbing stairs, and working outdoors. Long-distance driving, bulk-item collection, and off-site dumping are not part of the job. A smartphone and work app are used to check in, track work, and take photos when needed.

This is a part-time role offering typically 10–15 or more hours per week, with an evening schedule generally running Sunday through Thursday and starting after 7:00 or 8:00 PM. The truck pay rate is $21 per hour; the non-truck pay rate is $16 per hour. The posting describes the role as suitable for supplemental income or a second job, with local assignments, DailyPay, provided safety equipment, and opportunities for career growth.
