Keep waste invisible to residents while cutting the cost behind the scenes.
Senior living has a dual requirement: resident experience demands clean, odor-free, consistently serviced waste areas, while operations demands controlled costs, simplified vendors, and documented diversion. Most operators are managing both with generic haulers who meet neither standard. ICTV is built for the way senior communities actually run.
What waste looks like without the right partner.
Resident experience is directly tied to enclosure cleanliness and service reliability
Overflow, odor, and missed pickups in residential areas create complaints and reputational risk. Standard hauler service levels aren't built for senior living's operational sensitivity — ICTV builds programs around resident-facing expectations.
Dining operations generate consistent organic waste with no compliant program
Senior living communities with dining facilities are subject to AB 1826 and SB 1383. Most don't have the documentation to demonstrate compliance — and many don't realize their dining program is even covered.
Multi-community operators have no consolidated vendor or reporting structure
Regional operators managing 5–20+ communities often have different haulers, different programs, and no portfolio-level visibility into waste spend or compliance. ICTV consolidates programs and reporting across the full footprint.
Confidential materials from residents and administration have no secure disposal path
Medical records, personal documents, and financial materials need secure destruction — not just shredding in a recycling bin. ICTV provides Certificate of Destruction for confidential materials.
The gap between standard service and what senior living operations actually need.
Generic hauler service doesn't meet the standards resident-facing areas require.
Missed pickups, overflow, and odor in residential enclosures generate immediate resident complaints and risk management escalations. Standard commercial waste contracts don't include residential-grade service standards.
Dining organics go undocumented because food-service contractors don't own the compliance obligation.
When dining is contracted out, the operator assumes the SB 1383 obligation still rests with the contractor. It doesn't — it rests with the facility. Undocumented dining organics are a fine waiting to happen.
Multi-community operators have no consolidated program or reporting.
Regional senior living groups with 10–20+ communities often have entirely different vendors, programs, and service levels at each property. There's no benchmark, no consolidated cost visibility, and no portfolio-level compliance report.
