They’re a strong starting signal, not a guarantee. Trash logistics can vary by move-in timing, how your floor handles chutes or bins, and day-to-day building operations—confirm the specifics with the managing agent or super.

Ask for the exact pickup schedule, chute/bin location for your floor, where recycling goes (if separate), and what residents should do with large items or cardboard during move-in.

Many buildings have rules around bag size, placement times, or where overflow goes. Also ask whether there are designated areas for bulky trash or if items require special handling.

Openigloo uses proximity logic tied to the station area for filtering. When you shortlist buildings, still confirm your real commute time and route during typical hours.

Trash handling is only one factor. Make sure you review lease terms, total move-in costs (including any deposits or fees), and operational details that affect your day-to-day routine.
