Our Story
Southern Fresh Bins was founded in late 2025 to solve a simple but overlooked problem: valet trash bins are required in many communities, yet residents have no convenient way to keep them clean. Over time, bins accumulate grime, bacteria, and odors. Apartment sinks are too small, showers aren’t designed for trash bins, and most residents don’t have access to a hose. The result is dirty bins that impact individual units, shared hallways, and the overall living experience.
After searching for a recurring trash bin cleaning service—similar to what already exists in single-family residential neighborhoods—founder Kevin Molnar discovered that no such option was available for valet trash communities. That gap in the market sparked the idea for Southern Fresh Bins...
Kevin founded Southern Fresh Bins in late 2025 after experiencing a problem many apartment residents quietly deal with every day. Living in a valet trash community, he noticed that while valet trash bins are required, there’s no easy or reliable way to keep them clean. Instead of ignoring the issue, Kevin started asking questions—talking directly with apartment residents and surveying hundreds of people to understand whether others felt the same frustration. The answer was clear. That feedback became the foundation for Southern Fresh Bins: a simple, dependable solution built around real customer needs.
Originally from New Brunswick, New Jersey, Kevin grew up in Waxhaw, North Carolina, just outside of Charlotte. He earned his degree in Finance from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. After graduation, Kevin was accepted into Synchrony Financials Business Leadership Program, a two-year rotational program that gave him hands-on experience across the organization while building leadership, problem-solving, financial, and operational skills.
Kevin later earned his MBA from Wake Forest University to deepen his strategic and leadership capabilities. Today, he applies firsthand customer insight, disciplined execution, and a practical startup mindset to build Southern Fresh Bins—focused on reliable service, earned trust, and solving a real operational problem effectively.
In his free time, Kevin enjoys watching the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte Hornets, golfing, and spending time with friends, family, and his dog, Donny.
