What a Move-Out Cleanout Costs in Denver.

By Darius Schultz, owner · Updated

The movers took what you are keeping. Everything else has to be out before the walkthrough. Here is what clearing the leftovers costs, from a few pieces in an apartment to a whole house, and how the deadline changes the plan but not the price.

The Straight Answer

Move-Outs Are Priced by What Is Left, Not the Deadline.

A move-out cleanout in Denver is priced the same way as everything else we haul: $149 for the first 2 cubic yards, then $75 a yard. A single couch or a mattress set the movers would not take fits the $149 minimum or close to it. Most move-outs and rental turnovers commonly run 4 to 10 yards, $299 to $749. A full 1-car garage that never got packed is usually 6 to 8 yards, $449 to $599. A whole house of stuff that is not coming along can take two or three trips on the 6x10 dump trailer, at the same per-yard price; the estate cleanout cost guide shows what those run.

There is no rush fee for a deadline. A closing tomorrow costs the same as a closing next week. What the deadline changes is the plan: a small load can go the same afternoon if you text before noon, a garage usually the same or next day, and a multi-load house needs a day or two on the calendar. Tell us the date on the first text and we will tell you what fits.

A real one: a Westminster family moving out called at midday with a garage still full of couch, desk, boxes, and a metal patio table. Cleared that afternoon, about 35 minutes on site, floor swept, $349 under our earlier flat-rate pricing. Today a job like that is priced by the yard it fills.

Three Move-Out Habits That Save Money.

Book us for after the movers, not before

Once the keepers are on the moving truck, what is left is obvious and the quote is clean. Booking before the movers means guessing, and guesses run high.

Pile it in one room or the garage

Every item in one spot near the door loads in half the time of the same items spread over three floors, and anything you have already brought downstairs skips the $25-a-flight stairs fee.

Send photos and the date in one text

Photos set the price, the date sets the slot. With both in the first text, you get a real number and a real arrival window back in one reply.

FAQ

Move-Out Cleanout Questions.

How much does a move-out cleanout cost in Denver?
$149 covers the first 2 cubic yards, then it is $75 a yard. Most move-outs and rental turnovers commonly run 4 to 10 yards, $299 to $749. A whole house of what is not coming along can take two or three trips, at the same per-yard price. There is no deadline surcharge, dump fees are included, and the number is confirmed on site before we load.
Can you clear it before my walkthrough tomorrow?
A small load or a garage, usually yes if you text photos before noon today. A whole house needs a day or two, so text as soon as you know the date. See how same-day works for the honest cutoffs.
Do you charge extra for a deadline?
No. The price is set by the yards, not by how soon you need it. A closing tomorrow and a closing next week cost the same for the same pile.
Do you work with landlords and property managers on tenant walkouts?
Yes. Text photos of each room and the turnover date. We quote the unit, clear it in one visit where the volume allows, and text photos of the empty rooms when it is done if you are not on site.
What happens to furniture that is still good?
Most of it goes to an STS transfer station. Good-condition items sometimes go to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, and big loads of scrap metal get recycled.
Will you take the fridge and washer too?
Yes, as long as they are disconnected. Appliances ride along on a move-out load, and a fridge or freezer adds $50 for the refrigerant; the appliance removal page has the details on refrigerant and what to unhook.
