About Us

We built this company
because we were
looking for better.

We built this after working in the industry ourselves and seeing the same problems everywhere. Unreliable crews. High turnover. Property managers left hanging.

The problem

Big franchises
talk a good game.

They're great at sales. Not so great at showing up consistently or answering the phone when something goes wrong.

Property managers get frustrated. Residents complain. Maintenance teams pick up the slack.

We started ATX Trashmasters to be different.

“When you call us, you get us. Not a recording. Not a ticket number. A real person who knows your property.”

Our Values

What we stand for.

Local Ownership

We're not a franchise. Paul and Daniel own this business, live in Central Texas, and answer the phone themselves. When you work with us, you work with the people who built this company, and who have everything on the line to make it work.

Accountability

Every service night, completed services are documented with photos. A roving manager regularly checks properties to ensure quality. If something needs attention, we own it and fix it. No excuses, no runaround.

Reliability

We show up every service night, rain or shine. Fixed routes. Consistent timing. Your residents can count on us, and so can you. No surprises, no missed pickups, no last-minute cancellations.

Direct Communication

Call us and we answer. Text us and we respond. No call centers, no ticket systems, no automated menus. Just real people who know your property and care about getting it right.

Our Mission

Keep Austin clean,
one doorstep, one community, one person at a time.

Our Team

A different kind
of team.

Our workforce is rooted in Austin's local recovery community. We hire people rebuilding their lives and train them to deliver consistent, professional service.

Because of our community connections, we maintain stable crews where other companies struggle with constant turnover. New team members train alongside experienced staff, often including ownership.

It's not charity. It's a business model built for long-term reliability.
