FAQ

Moving Cleanouts

 FAQs

Can you come the same day as my movers?

Yes. We can coordinate with your moving schedule — come before the movers to clear out junk, or after they've loaded what you're keeping to haul away the rest.

How much does a moving cleanout cost?

Partial cleanouts (a few items plus miscellaneous junk) run $199–$499. Full-home cleanouts range from $800–$2,500 depending on volume. Heavy items may affect the price. We provide free estimates upfront.

Can I just point to what I don't want?

Exactly how it works. Walk us through the house, point to anything you don't want to take with you, and we'll handle the rest. No sorting or boxing needed on your end.

Do you work on weekends?

Yes. We know moves often happen on weekends, and we schedule cleanouts seven days a week to work around your timeline.

What if I'm not sure what I want to keep yet?

No problem. You can schedule us for after your movers have packed what you're keeping. That way, anything left behind is fair game and we'll haul it all.

Also Need a Dumpster or Bigger Project Help?

If your project is ongoing or you want a dumpster delivered for a renovation or major cleanup, you may be a better fit for dumpster rental (with optional free loading labor). If you want everything gone quickly in one visit, our junk removal pillar page is the best place to start.
