V.I.P. Waste Services joins the Valet Living portfolio as Valet Living's latest acquisition

The mission, values, and culture of Valet Living are very similar to that of V.I.P. Waste Services. Valet Living has built a successful business that serves more than one million apartment homes every night across more than 35 states, and now the V.I.P. Waste Services team will join forces with the Valet Living team to operate as one.  The strategic acquisition further increases Valet Living's presence in the Midwest market and extends its mission to enhance property value by setting the standard in residential services nationwide.

"A defining aspect of this company is its set of core values:  respect, integrity, accountability, servanthood, and excellence," said Shawn Handrahan, President and CEO of Valet Living. "We are looking forward to bringing the V.I.P. Waste Services team onboard and growing our team of servant leaders."

"The mission of V.I.P. Waste Services has always been to make the world a better place by delighting our clients, their residents, and each other," said co-founders of V.I.P. Waste Services, Jesse Lear and Travis Smith.  "We feel confident that the best way to achieve this mission is to join forces; to work together. We have come a long way. And now, Valet Living will help us leverage what we have built and take it to the next level."

With this acquisition, Valet Living has expanded to deliver on its vision as the only nationally-recognized full-service amenities provider to the multifamily industry, enhancing life for both residents and property managers. In addition to doorstep collection and recycling services, Valet Living also sets the standard for turn services, maintenance support, and pet solutions and will soon be announcing additional resident-facing services.
