Storage Unit Cleanouts in Connecticut
Full storage unit cleanouts for tenants who are done paying rent on a unit they no longer need, and for facility operators clearing abandoned and auctioned units. We empty it, sweep it, and get it back to the office ready to re-rent.
How a Storage Unit Cleanout Works
Tell Us the Unit Size
Unit dimensions and a rough sense of how full it is gets us most of the way to an accurate quote.
Upfront Pricing
You get the price before we start, based on how much of our truck the contents actually fill.
You Do Not Have to Be There
With facility authorization and access, we can clear the unit without you taking a day off.
We Pull Everything Out
Our crew does all the lifting and carrying, including whatever is packed to the ceiling at the back.
Swept and Ready
We leave the unit broom-clean so you can close it out with the office the same day.
Donation and Recycling
Usable furniture and household goods are routed to donation instead of straight to disposal.

Who Books a Storage Unit Cleanout
Tenants Closing Out a Unit
The most common call. You want to stop the monthly charge, the contents are not worth another year of rent, and you need it emptied before the next billing date. We work to that date.
Estates and Inherited Units
A parent or relative kept a unit for years and the family is now responsible for it, often from out of state. We clear the unit and can set aside anything you want kept. See our estate cleanout services if there is a house involved too.
Facility Operators and Managers
Self-storage operators clearing abandoned units, post-auction leftovers, or units left behind after a lien sale. We turn units around quickly so they go back on the rent roll instead of sitting empty.
Businesses Closing a Unit
Companies that used storage for records, inventory, or fixtures and no longer need the overflow. Often paired with an office cleanout or a warehouse cleanout.
Before You Book a Storage Unit Cleanout
Three things make a storage cleanout go smoothly. First, pull anything you actually want to keep before we arrive, or mark it clearly — once the crew starts loading, it moves fast. Second, check with the facility office about access hours and whether they need written authorization for a third party to clear your unit; most do. Third, confirm your unit number and gate code, because a wrong number wastes a trip for everyone.
What a Storage Unit Cleanout Costs
Pricing is based on volume — how much space the contents take up in our truck — rather than a flat rate per unit size. A 10×10 packed floor to ceiling costs more than a 10×20 that is half empty.
You get the price before we start, and it does not change once the crew is working. If you want a sense of pricing first, our junk removal cost calculator will get you close.
Storage Unit Cleanout FAQs
Do I need to be at the facility?
Usually not. Most facilities allow a third party to clear a unit with written authorization from the renter and access to the gate code and unit. Check with the office first, since policies vary between facilities.
How fast can you clear a unit?
Most single units are done in one visit, often within a couple of hours. If you are trying to beat a billing date, tell us the date when you call and we will schedule around it.
Can you set aside things I want to keep?
Yes. Mark them clearly or point them out before we start and we will move them aside rather than load them.
What happens to everything?
Furniture and household goods in usable condition are routed to donation where there is an outlet. Metal, electronics, and cardboard are recycled. Only what cannot be reused or recycled is taken for disposal.
Do you clear abandoned and auctioned units for facilities?
Yes. We work with self-storage operators and property managers on abandoned units, post-lien-sale leftovers, and multi-unit cleanouts, and we can turn several units in a single visit.
What if the unit has mold or pests?
Tell us in advance. Water-damaged and infested contents need different handling and disposal, and knowing beforehand means we bring the right equipment instead of discovering it at the door.
