Unit Turns & Vacate Cleanouts
We coordinate full and partial apartment cleanouts — clearing left-behind furniture, trash, and belongings so a unit can be inspected, repaired, and re-listed. A vetted local provider prices the job from your photos and schedules a completion window, typically within 24–72 hours of approval.
Couches, beds, dressers, boxes, and general contents left in the unit.
Refrigerators, stoves, and window AC units, removed and disposed of or recycled.
General debris and accumulated trash cleared alongside the larger items.
Apartment cleanout pricing is driven by volume and access more than anything else. As a general reference point, third-party cost trackers put typical residential junk and cleanout jobs in the Twin Cities around $150–$575 for a normal range, with full-truckload jobs running $600–$800 — your unit's actual price depends on the factors below. Full sourcing is on the Pricing & Cost Factors page.
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Amount of material | A few leftover items vs. a fully-furnished unit are very different jobs |
| Floor & elevator access | Upper-floor walk-ups take longer to clear than ground-level units |
| Appliances present | Refrigerators and similar items carry separate disposal/recycling fees |
| Urgency | Same-day or next-day requests are priced as rush scheduling |
Address, unit type, floor, and elevator access, plus a few photos of each room.
A provider reviews the photos and confirms pricing and available windows.
Contents are removed, sorted for donation/recycling where practical, and disposed of.
Before/after photos are sent so you have a record for your files or ownership group.
Larger apartment buildings often have their own rules about elevator reservations, loading dock hours, or which entrances a moving or hauling crew can use. If your building has any of these requirements, mention them when you request a quote — a provider who shows up expecting street-level access to a walk-up when the reality is a freight elevator reservation two floors up will lose real time, and that friction tends to show up as a scheduling delay rather than a price change.
A provider arrives within the scheduled window and does a quick walkthrough to confirm the job matches what was quoted from your photos before starting. Furniture and larger items go first, followed by a room-by-room debris sweep. For a standard one- or two-bedroom unit, most jobs wrap up within a few hours; a fully-furnished larger unit can take a full day. You'll receive before/after photos once the unit is clear, which double as documentation for an ownership group or your own files.
If your unit involves a large volume of dense, floor-to-ceiling contents rather than a standard vacate, our Hoarding Property Cleanout page covers that different (and differently priced) scenario. If the unit was foreclosed or bank-owned rather than a standard rental, see Foreclosure & REO Cleanout instead.
A standard one- or two-bedroom unit is typically cleared in a few hours once a provider is on site; full-house-equivalent volume or difficult access can extend that to a full day.
Providers often donate or recycle usable furniture and appliances where practical, but this varies by provider — confirm their process when you receive your quote.
Yes — tell us your target completion date when you submit the request and we'll flag it to the provider during scheduling.
