ICTV
Senior Living Properties

Non-clinical waste, dining organics, and compliance documentation across your senior living portfolio.

Senior living property portfolios face the same hauler-overbilling and compliance pressure as other multifamily — plus dining-driven organics streams. ICTV handles only the non-regulated solid waste, recyclables, and organics from your communities. Regulated medical waste is excluded and handled separately by your licensed medical-waste partner.

The Problem

What waste looks like without the right partner.

1

Hauler overbilling and contract escalators across the portfolio

Senior living portfolios face the same overcharge patterns as multifamily real estate: auto-renewing contracts, annual escalators, half-full dumpsters on full-price pulls. Without invoice auditing, the spend compounds.

2

Dining organics generate concentrated SB 1383 obligations

Senior living communities with on-site dining produce significant food waste. SB 1383, AB 1826, and state organics mandates apply — and the property owner bears the compliance obligation.

3

Move-outs generate bulky debris with no recovery program

Resident move-outs produce furniture, mattresses, and personal-effect debris. Without a coordinated program, it all goes in the dumpster at full disposal cost.

4

Fragmented vendor relationships across communities

Senior living portfolios often have a different hauler, organics program, and destruction vendor at every community. Consolidated reporting and consolidated procurement don't exist.

Why generic providers fall short

The gap between standard service and what senior living real estate operations actually need.

Generic haulers don't differentiate dining-driven organics from medical streams.

Senior living operations need clear boundaries: non-clinical solid waste, recyclables, and dining organics are one program; regulated medical waste is a separate licensed program. Generic haulers blur the line.

Multi-community contracts are negotiated property-by-property.

A REIT or operator with 12 communities has 12 separate hauler contracts. The portfolio gets none of the negotiation leverage that comes from consolidating procurement.

FOG and dining organics get handled by separate vendors.

Dining grease and food waste end up at different vendors with different documentation. SB 1383 compliance needs both streams coordinated under one program.

Proof Point

Senior living REIT: 18 communities, 14 different hauler contracts, no consolidated reporting

A regional senior living REIT had 14 different hauler contracts across 18 communities, with dining organics handled by separate vendors at each property. No portfolio-level compliance reporting existed for asset management or investor ESG.

Outcome

Consolidated procurement plus coordinated dining organics produced 17% portfolio-wide savings and a single compliance reporting layer.
