Storage Unit Cleanout in Virginia
When the things in a rented unit no longer need a home, we empty it, sweep it and leave it ready for the move out check.
What this pickup covers
A rented storage unit is meant to be temporary, and yet many stay full long after their purpose has passed. Once you decide the contents can go, the last step is usually the hardest: getting a truck there and finding an open afternoon to load it. We do the loading for you.
Meet us at the facility, or arrange access with the office, and point out anything you want to keep. We load the rest, sweep the floor of the unit and step back so you can lock up and return the key. If the facility has rules about gate hours or truck size, we follow them.
What we load
- Furniture of all sizes stacked inside the unit
- Boxes, bins and bags of household items
- Rolled rugs, lamps and wall art
- Bed frames and headboards
- Patio sets and outdoor chairs
- A sweep of the unit floor after the last item is out
How the visit goes
Access
We agree on a time inside the facility's gate hours and how you will let us in, in person or through the office.
Load
We take out what is in front first, set aside anything you flag, and load the rest straight into the truck.
Sweep and close
The empty unit gets a sweep, and you lock it or hand it back to the office.
Getting ready
- Check the facility's gate hours and truck rules
- Bring the key or code, or arrange access with the office
- Take out documents and keepsakes before the visit if you can
- Tell us the unit number and whether it is indoors or drive up
Homes and buildings we know
Self storage facilities line the main roads across Henrico County and nearby Chesterfield County. Drive up units are the quickest to clear; indoor units take a little longer because everything travels down a hallway and through a loading door.
Many unit cleanouts happen at the end of a rental term, so the date matters. Tell us when the unit needs to be empty and we plan the visit for a few days before that, which leaves you room for the final check with the facility office. If you want a few boxes delivered to your home instead of hauled away, mention it in the request and we can usually make that part of the same trip.
Questions about storage unit cleanout
Do I need to be there?
Not always. If the facility allows it, you can arrange access through the office and we send you a photo of the empty unit.
Can you clear an indoor unit on an upper floor?
Yes. We use the facility carts and the freight elevator, so it takes a little longer than a drive up unit.
Will you take everything?
We take what you mark to go. Anything you want to keep can be set aside for you to collect.
Where do the contents go?
When items are usable we route them to local donation and recycling drop-offs where possible, and the rest goes to the proper local facility.
