Storage Unit Cleanouts

Full-Service Storage Unit Junk Removal

Storage units often become packed with furniture, boxes, appliances and items that are no longer needed. Emptying one can involve hours of sorting, heavy lifting and repeated disposal trips.

Trash B Gone can remove approved contents directly from your storage locker. Our service may include:

• Removing furniture and appliances
• Carrying items through the facility
• Loading our truck
• Basic furniture disassembly
• Separating obvious recyclable materials
• Hauling unwanted contents
• Appropriate recycling or disposal
• Sweeping the empty unit when included

You do not need to move everything outside before we arrive. Tell us where the unit is located and how close our truck can park.

Items We Remove From Storage Units

We commonly remove:

• Couches and chairs
• Tables and desks
• Mattresses and box springs
• Bed frames
• Dressers and cabinets
• Appliances
• Televisions and electronics
• Boxes of household items
• Clothing
• Books
• Toys
• Sporting equipment
• Shelving
• Tools
• Office furniture
• Business inventory
• Cardboard and packaging
• Yard equipment
• General household junk
• Approved renovation materials

Unusually heavy, hazardous or regulated items must be identified before the appointment.

Complete Storage Locker Cleanouts

If everything in the unit needs to go, our crew can complete a full cleanout based on the approved scope.

Complete storage unit cleanouts are useful when:

• You no longer need the unit
• Storage fees are becoming too expensive
• You are moving or downsizing
• A family member has left stored belongings
• An estate needs to be settled
• A business is closing or relocating
• A storage auction unit must be emptied
• A renter has abandoned the contents
• The facility has provided a removal deadline

Before we begin, remove all personal documents, valuables and belongings you intend to keep.

Partial Storage Unit Cleanouts

You may want to remove only certain items while keeping the rest of the unit organized and accessible.

We can complete a partial cleanout when the items being removed are clearly identified.

Customers can:

• Place unwanted items together
• Mark items for removal
• Remain present and direct the crew
• Provide a detailed removal list
• Label items that must remain

Trash B Gone does not decide which belongings are valuable or important. Anything that must remain should be clearly separated before work begins.

Storage Unit Furniture Removal

Furniture is one of the most difficult things to remove from a storage locker. Large couches, tables and cabinets may need to be dismantled or carefully carried through narrow hallways and elevators.

We remove:

• Couches and sectional sofas
• Recliners
• Dining sets
• Desks
• Office chairs
• Filing cabinets
• Bed frames
• Dressers
• Wardrobes
• Bookcases
• Cabinets
• Patio furniture
• Commercial furniture

Basic disassembly can usually be included when required. Complicated, built-in or unusually heavy items may require additional labour.

Mattress and Appliance Removal

Storage units frequently contain old mattresses and appliances that require separate processing.

We can remove:

• Mattresses
• Box springs
• Refrigerators
• Freezers
• Washing machines
• Dryers
• Electric stoves
• Dishwashers
• Microwaves
• Small appliances

Refrigerators and freezers must be empty. Appliances must be disconnected, and gas appliances must be professionally disconnected before removal.

Mattresses, refrigerant-containing appliances and certain electronics may have additional processing fees.

Storage Auction Cleanouts

Winning a storage auction can leave you responsible for clearing the entire unit within a short period.

Trash B Gone can remove unwanted contents after you have:

• Confirmed your legal right to access the unit
• Removed items you intend to keep or sell
• Identified the remaining contents for disposal
• Arranged facility access
• Confirmed the cleanout deadline
• Paid any required facility deposits or fees

We can assess the unit from photographs or arrange an on-site quote for larger or densely packed lockers.

Trash B Gone does not purchase or appraise auction contents.

Estate Storage Unit Cleanouts

A storage unit belonging to a deceased family member may contain important documents, photographs, valuables and sentimental belongings.

Before authorizing removal, we recommend:

1. Confirming who has legal authority over the contents.
2. Reviewing all accessible boxes and containers.
3. Removing identification and financial documents.
4. Separating family photographs and personal records.
5. Identifying valuables, collectibles and sentimental belongings.
6. Clearly marking everything that must remain.

Our crew can complete the physical removal once the authorized representative has approved the items being discarded.

Commercial Storage Unit Cleanouts

Businesses may use storage units for furniture, records, inventory, displays, tools and surplus equipment.

We provide commercial storage cleanouts for:

• Offices
• Retail businesses
• Contractors
• Property managers
• Restoration companies
• Realtors
• Online retailers
• Closing businesses
• Commercial storage facilities

Commercial records and electronic devices may contain confidential information. The customer is responsible for arranging secure document shredding and certified data destruction when required.

Storage Facility and Abandoned Unit Cleanouts

Trash B Gone can work with storage facility operators to remove abandoned or unwanted contents from qualifying units.

Services may include:

• Single-unit cleanouts
• Multiple-unit cleanouts
• Abandoned furniture removal
• Mattress removal
• Appliance removal
• Hallway and loading-area junk removal
• Illegal dumping cleanup
• Recurring commercial pickups

The facility or customer must confirm legal authority to dispose of the contents before removal begins. Trash B Gone does not determine ownership or resolve disputes concerning stored property.

Donation, Recycling and Disposal

Usable items may be redirected when practical and accepted by a local organization. However, donation cannot be guaranteed.

Items may be refused because of:

• Stains or odours
• Damage or missing parts
• Pest concerns
• Excessive wear
• Lack of current demand
• Facility restrictions
• Transportation limitations

Approved recyclable materials are separated when practical. Remaining items are taken to an appropriate disposal facility.

Materials Requiring Special Handling

Tell us before arrival if the storage unit contains:

• Paint or chemicals
• Fuel or oil
• Propane cylinders
• Compressed gas cylinders
• Batteries
• Firearms or ammunition
• Fireworks or explosives
• Needles or medical waste
• Mould-contaminated contents
• Human or animal waste
• Bed bugs or other pests
• Refrigerants
• Asbestos-containing material
• Unknown liquids or powders

These materials cannot be concealed inside boxes or garbage bags. Specialized removal or disposal may be required.

Preparing for a Storage Unit Cleanout

Before our crew arrives:

1. Confirm that you are authorized to remove the contents.
2. Tell the storage facility about the cleanout.
3. Arrange gate codes, keys and building access.
4. Reserve an elevator or loading area if required.
5. Remove valuables and personal documents.
6. Clearly mark items that must remain.
7. Identify hazardous or contaminated materials.
8. Confirm the unit number and cleanout deadline.
9. Tell us how close the truck can park.
10. Provide an authorized on-site contact.

Facility access charges, deposits and administrative requirements remain the customer’s responsibility.

Our Storage Unit Cleanout Process

What Determines the Cost?

Storage unit cleanout pricing depends on:

• Unit size
• How full the unit is
• Types of items
• Furniture size and weight
• Required labour
• Distance to the truck
• Elevator or stair access
• Disposal and recycling fees
• Mattresses and appliances
• Hazardous or contaminated material
• Number of truckloads
• Required completion time

Photographs are often enough for an initial estimate. Densely packed or unusually large units may require an on-site assessment.
