You manage a dozen units. One tenant moves out, and the clock starts ticking. Every day that unit sits full of leftover furniture, bags of trash, and random debris is a day you’re not collecting rent. We get it — that’s why apartment cleanouts are one of the things we do most at Junk B Gone.
We recently cleared an entire apartment for a Seattle property manager — furniture, appliances, mattresses, loose debris, all of it. The unit was ready for cleaning and renovation the same day we showed up.
How Our Apartment Cleanout Process Works
Our crew arrives, walks the unit with you (or your maintenance team), and puts together a plan on the spot. We sort everything as we go — recyclable materials head to the right facilities, reusable items go to our nonprofit partner Second Spark, and whatever’s left gets disposed of properly.
About 80% of what we haul gets recycled or donated. That’s not a marketing number — it’s how we’ve operated since 1989.
What We Typically Remove During Unit Turnovers
| Item | What Happens to It |
|---|---|
| Furniture (couches, beds, tables) | Donated to Second Spark or recycled |
| Appliances | Recycled (no extra fees) |
| Mattresses | Recycled at certified facilities |
| Electronics | E-waste recycling |
| Carpeting and general debris | Proper disposal |
| Clothing and textiles | Donated when possible |
Why Property Managers Call Us Back
We’ve been doing apartment cleanouts in Seattle since 1989. That’s not a typo. Here’s what property managers tell us matters most:
- Speed: Most units are cleared in a single visit. We show up, we work, and you get the unit back the same day.
- Communication: We keep you in the loop at every step — what we found, what’s being donated, when we’ll be done.
- Bigger trucks: Our trucks hold roughly twice what a typical junk hauler’s truck carries. That means fewer trips and faster turnovers.
- All-inclusive pricing: The price we quote is the price you pay. No surcharges for stairs, heavy items, or appliances.
Don’t Call the 800 Number. Call Your Neighbors.
