What Do Our Philadelphia Cleanout Services Include?

Our Philadelphia cleanout service includes the labor, loading, hauling, disposal, and final sweep-out needed to clear part or all of a property. You do not need to move unwanted items outside or prepare them at the curb before our crew arrives.

A full-service cleanout can include:

  • Heavy lifting: Our crew removes unwanted items from rooms, basements, attics, garages, and other accessible areas.
  • Loading and hauling: We carry items out of the property and load them directly into our trucks.
  • Disposal and diversion: Items are hauled for appropriate disposal, recycling, or donation when eligible.
  • Final sweep-out: Once removal is complete, we sweep the cleared area before leaving.

We handle residential cleanouts for homes, apartments, basements, attics, and garages, as well as commercial cleanouts for offices, retail spaces, and other business properties. For projects focused specifically on clearing a garage, learn more about our garage cleanout services.

Common Cleanout Scenarios We Handle

Cleanouts are often needed during moves, property transitions, renovations, and situations where a large volume of unwanted items needs to be removed at once. Common projects include:

Estate cleanouts: Clearing belongings from a property during an estate transition.

Foreclosure cleanouts: Removing abandoned items and debris before a property is sold or occupied.

Hoarding cleanouts: Clearing accumulated belongings with discretion and a plan suited to the property.

Tenant turnovers: Removing items left behind so landlords and property managers can prepare units for new occupants.

Storage unit cleanouts: Clearing unwanted contents from storage spaces efficiently.

Office and commercial cleanouts: Removing furniture, equipment, and other unwanted items during relocations or property transitions.

Post-renovation cleanouts: Removing eligible debris and unwanted materials after remodeling or improvement projects.

For property managers and commercial clients, we can also provide a certificate of insurance (COI) when required by a building or property manager. Let us know about access requirements, loading restrictions, or other property guidelines when scheduling so our team can plan accordingly. 

How Much Do Cleanout Services Cost in Philadelphia?

Cleanout pricing varies with the amount of material being removed. Our load sizes generally range from small-volume pickups to a full truckload:

Load Size Typical Scope Pricing
Minimum load Small-volume removals Starts at $149
Partial truckload Cleanouts using a portion of the truck Based on the volume used
Full truckload Large-volume cleanouts, up to 15 cubic yards Quoted based on the job

The final price can also depend on the conditions of the property and the material being removed. Narrow rowhouse staircases, long carrying distances, limited access, and unusually heavy or dense materials may affect the quote. Our crew reviews these factors before loading begins so you can approve the price before the work starts.

We also offer a price-match guarantee for qualifying written estimates from licensed and insured competitors. For an estimate based on your project, use our online estimator to get a free estimate before booking.

How Does Our Philadelphia Cleanout Process Work?

Our cleanout process is straightforward: schedule your service, walk through the property with our crew, approve the upfront quote, and let us handle the loading, hauling, and final sweep-out. For Philadelphia rowhouses and other properties with narrow staircases, tight hallways, or limited curb access, we can review those logistical details before removal begins.

1. Schedule your cleanout. Book online or call our team to choose an available appointment window and tell us about the items or areas you need cleared.

2. Get arrival updates. We provide appointment updates and let you know when the crew is on the way so you can be ready for the walkthrough. 

 

3. Review and approve your quote. Once the crew sees the volume of material and any access considerations, we provide the price before loading begins. Work starts only after you approve the quote.

4. We load, haul, and sweep the cleared area. Our crew carries out the approved items, loads the truck, and performs a final sweep-out of the cleared space before leaving. 

 

If your property has limited parking, restricted loading access, elevators, narrow stairways, or other access requirements, let us know when scheduling. Sharing those details in advance helps our team plan the removal efficiently, especially for rowhouses, apartment buildings, and commercial properties in denser parts of Philadelphia.

Responsible Disposal: Donating and Recycling in Philadelphia

We prioritize donation, recycling, and other responsible disposal options whenever the condition and type of material allow it. Approximately 70% of the material we collect is diverted from landfills through donation, recycling, and repurposing. 

Depending on item condition, current acceptance guidelines, and location availability, eligible items may be taken to local donation organizations such as:

  • Habitat for Humanity ReStore
  • Philly AIDS Thrift
  • The Salvation Army
  • Goodwill

If you would like a donation receipt, let us know when scheduling. Receipts are not guaranteed and depend on whether the receiving organization accepts the items and provides documentation for the donation. When a receipt is available, our team can pass it along to you.

Specialized Cleanout Services for Estates, Hoarding, and Tenant Turnovers

Estate cleanouts, hoarding situations, and tenant turnovers often require more planning and coordination than a standard junk removal appointment. Our crew adjusts the cleanout process to the property, timeline, access requirements, and people involved while keeping communication clear throughout the job.

Estate Cleanouts

When a property needs to be cleared after a loss, move, or estate transition, our estate cleanout services can help families and property representatives manage the removal process. Before work begins, you can identify documents, keepsakes, furniture, or other belongings that should remain, and our crew will follow those instructions while removing the approved items. 

We can also plan around property sale, move-out, or other scheduling deadlines when availability allows.

Hoarding Cleanup

Hoarding-related cleanouts can involve a large volume of belongings and may require additional time and coordination. Our hoarding cleanup services approach these projects with discretion and respect for the people and property involved. For larger projects, ask our team whether phased scheduling is available so the cleanout can be completed across multiple appointments when needed. 

Rental and Commercial Property Cleanouts

For landlords and property managers, we remove furniture, belongings, and other approved items left behind during tenant turnovers so the property can move on to cleaning, repairs, or preparation for the next occupant. We also handle commercial property cleanouts and can provide a certificate of insurance (COI) when required by a building or property manager.

Have a cleanout that requires additional planning? Contact our team to discuss the property, access requirements, timeline, and scope of the project before scheduling.
