Consolidate vendor contracts. Lower assessment-driven costs. Document compliance.
HOAs operate on cost-sensitive budgets where every line item flows to homeowner assessments. ICTV reviews your trash and recycling contracts, identifies overcharges, and consolidates vendor relationships through your CAM — so the board can show measurable cost control.
What waste looks like without the right partner.
Every line item flows to homeowner assessments
HOA budgets get scrutinized line by line at the annual meeting. Overcharges, escalators, and redundant service show up in assessments — and homeowners notice. Boards need defensible cost control.
Auto-renewing contracts with annual escalators
HOA waste contracts typically auto-renew with 5-10% annual price increases. Without a CAM-side review, the HOA pays escalating rates indefinitely while service stays the same.
Multifamily AB 341 compliance is the board's problem
California HOAs with 5+ units fall under AB 341. The board, not the management company, bears the compliance obligation. Documentation has to exist at the property level.
No leverage as a single property
Generic haulers price single HOA contracts at retail rates. Without portfolio-side aggregation, the HOA has no negotiation leverage and pays the rack rate every year.
The gap between standard service and what hoas & community associations operations actually need.
Contract review never happens between renewals.
Standard practice: the management company signs the contract, it auto-renews, and the board sees the line item in the budget without anyone reviewing service delivery. Three years in, the HOA is paying 25%+ more for the same service.
AB 341 documentation lives nowhere.
Many California HOAs with 5+ units have no documented recycling program — just a recycling bin. AB 341 requires documentation, and the board is the responsible party.
Service-level audits are not part of the CAM's job.
Community Association Managers handle the relationship but rarely audit dumpster fullness, pull frequency, or container sizing. ICTV does that work as part of the managed program.
Proof Point
Mid-size HOA: contract escalated 27% over three years with no service-level changes
A 180-unit HOA had a single waste contract auto-renewing with 8% annual escalators. The CAM was managing the relationship but no one was auditing rates. Container sizing and pull frequency hadn't been reviewed since contract signing.
Outcome
Renegotiated rates plus right-sized service produced a 21% reduction on the annual line item.
Anonymized — figures verified by ICTV.
What ICTV handles for hoas & community associations.
Lower material recovery potential than multifamily or industrial — primary value is in managed services (contract consolidation, invoice auditing) and AB 341 compliance documentation.
The compliance picture.
What these laws mean for hoas & community associations — in plain English.
HOAs and community associations with 5+ units must have a recycling program in place with documentation. Board bears compliance obligation.
Non-compliance risk
Citations from local jurisdictions for non-compliant associations. Documentation of recycling program required.
HOAs generating 2+ cubic yards of solid waste per week have commercial organics recycling obligations.
Non-compliance risk
Implementation of organics recycling program required. Documentation of diversion to approved pathways.
HOAs with common-area dining amenities or shared food operations may have organics diversion obligations under SB 1383.
Non-compliance risk
Fines and recordkeeping requirements apply where SB 1383 thresholds are met.
