Storage Unit Cleanout in San Luis Obispo County

Paying every month for stuff you don’t use? We empty your storage unit, haul it all away, and sweep it so you can turn in the key.

A storage unit starts as a short-term fix. Then the bill keeps coming every month.

We empty units for people who are finally ready to let go, for families handling a loved one’s unit, and for people who bought a unit at auction and only want a few things.

Most storage places want the unit empty and broom clean when you move out. We leave it that way.

What we clear out of storage units

What we can't take

We can’t take liquid paint, liquid chemicals, fuel, motor oil, propane tanks, medical waste or other hazardous waste. San Luis Obispo County residents can drop those off at no charge at the county’s household hazardous waste facilities (IWMA drop-off info). Not sure about something? Text us a photo.

How much does a storage unit cleanout cost?

We price by space. How much of our 12.5 cubic yard trailer will your stuff fill? A full trailer holds about 6 pickup truck loads. Your price covers the loading, hauling, disposal and sweep-up. We tell you the price before we start, and there’s no charge if you change your mind. A small 5 by 5 unit takes much less space than a packed 10 by 20.

What can change the price:

Where your stuff goes

We sort every load. Anything still useful goes to local thrift stores like Goodwill in Atascadero or Santa Maria, Brookside Thrift Store, and Achievement House in Paso Robles or Arroyo Grande.

All scrap metal and appliances go to SA Recycling in Paso Robles or Santa Maria. That’s more than 300,000 pounds of metal so far. Mattresses, e-waste, cardboard and yard waste go to local recycling. The landfill gets only what’s left.
