So the Floor Keeps Moving. Seattle and Kent facility managers call us when a warehouse, plant, or distribution center has to be cleared — dead racking, busted pallets, decommissioned machinery, e-waste, the lot. Certificate of insurance on request, dock windows booked, forklift-friendly logistics. $4M insured COI on request Loading-dock coordinated Net-30 for corporate ## Free Facility Clear-Out Estimate Seattle · SODO · Kent ## We've cleared more Puget Sound warehouse floors than we can count. We've stripped dead pallet racking out of a **Kent Valley distribution center**, hauled a decommissioned line of conveyor and motors off a **SODO plant floor**, and cleared a mountain of broken pallets and shrink-wrap out of an **Auburn warehouse** the week before an inventory audit. When a facility manager calls and says a bay has to be empty before the next shift loads in, that's the call we're built for. Facility managers don't have a junk problem. They have a throughput problem — a dock that's blocked, a fire-lane that's stacked with obsolete inventory, and a [landlord](https://mrjunkbgoneseattle.com/property-managers/) or auditor who wants the square footage back. A warehouse cleanout is a logistics job before it's a hauling job: dock timing, forklift access, weight, and what's scrap versus what's resaleable. We handle the whole thing, not just the lifting. A plant manager doesn't call the national 1-800 number. They call the crew their facility already has a certificate of insurance on file for — the one who shows up forklift-ready. Real job · Kent Valley distribution center ## A whole bay of dead racking and pallets — gone before the next shift. A warehouse bay that's gone to clutter is square footage you're paying rent on and can't use — dead pallet racking, a wall of broken pallets, banded scrap steel, and pallets of obsolete inventory nobody wants to be the one to scrap. We don't just grab the easy stuff off the front and leave the racking standing. We break down the pallet racking — uprights, beams, wire decks — strap and stack it, sort the scrap steel from the resaleable gear, and clear the floor down to bare concrete. Forklift-ready when the building has one to lend, our own muscle and equipment when it doesn't. By the time we pulled out, the bay was open, swept, and ready to put back to work. **That's the difference between a hauling company and a couple of guys with a pickup:** we bring the crew, the truck capacity, and the know-how to take a loaded warehouse bay apart safely. Drag to reveal — same warehouse bay, one JBG visit What facilities ask for ## Built for industrial facility & plant managers. Liability Insurance $4 million in coverage — we'll name your facility, plant, or management company as additional insured on the COI. Certificate of Insurance Provided on request — we issue COIs routinely for Kent, SODO and Seattle industrial accounts before we set foot on the dock. Loading Dock Coordination Yes — we time arrival to your dock schedule and clear out of the bay before the next inbound is up. Forklift & Pallet-Jack Friendly We work with your forklift and dock crew when one's available, and bring our own equipment and muscle when it isn't.

When a shop gets behind, the debris creeps across the floor until there's nowhere left to work — [scrap lumber](https://mrjunkbgoneseattle.com/wood-debris-removal-seattle/), packaging, busted pallets, and the odds and ends that pile up between jobs. We clear the whole floor in one visit: sort the wood and metal out for recycling, bag the rest, and sweep it down to bare concrete so the crew can actually move again. **COI to facility management, dock window confirmed, in and out without shutting the shop down for a day.** Before & after — one JBG warehouse cleanout What goes in the truck ## If it's on the warehouse floor, we'll get it out. We bring the crew and the tools to break down **pallet racking, mezzanine shelving, conveyor sections, and decommissioned machinery** — so a loaded bay doesn't tie up your dock for a week. Here's what we pull out of Puget Sound warehouses and plants: Pallets & Packaging Broken and surplus pallets, shrink-wrap, banding, and crating — by the truckload, not one stack at a time. Pallet Racking Uprights, beams, and wire decks broken down, strapped, and hauled — we bring the right tools, not a crowbar. Machinery & Equipment Decommissioned production machines, conveyors, motors, and control cabinets, unbolted and cleared off the slab. Scrap Metal Steel framing, racking, off-cuts, and banded scrap — sorted and routed to recyclers, not dumped. E-Waste & Electronics Control boards, cabling, monitors, and electronic scrap kept separate and handled the right way. Obsolete Inventory Dead stock, returns, and overstock cleared so the racking and floor space go back to work. Mezzanine & Shelving Industrial shelving, work benches, and mezzanine storage units taken apart and removed. Construction & Facility Debris Build-out leftovers, busted fixtures, [drywall](https://mrjunkbgoneseattle.com/construction-debris-removal/), and the general debris a working facility piles up. Full Facility Cleanouts Lease-end, plant relocation, or a full warehouse clear-down to bare concrete — handled end to end. Not sure how big the job is? Text us a photo of the floor and we'll tell you the crew and truck size we'll bring. [Text a Photo →](sms:2067224285) How we work a facility ## You mark the bays, we clear exactly those. ### Tag the bays — we take exactly what's flagged On a warehouse cleanout, the worst outcome is the crew grabbing something that was supposed to stay — a rack still holding live inventory, a machine that's only on standby. So we walk the floor with your team first and tag what's going: this row of racking, these pallets, that decommissioned unit, and nothing else. We clear what's flagged and leave the rest exactly where it stands. **No second-guessing, no "wait, was that supposed to ship?" calls the next morning.** ### Enough crew, enough truck — the first time Volume is the whole game on a facility job. A warehouse clear-down can run to dozens of pallets, bays of racking, and tons of scrap — far more than an undersized truck and two guys can move without making round trip after round trip on your dock. We size it right: enough crew to keep moving and enough truck capacity that we're not blocking your inbound all afternoon. High-volume jobs are where the wrong company quotes cheap and then nickel-and-dimes the extra loads. **We bring enough the first time.** Three of our trucks, loaded at one office move-out in Seattle. ### More than one truckload? We send more trucks. When a cleanout fills more than one truck, we send more trucks and more crew to the same job. They're our own trucks and our own employees. The proof ## Real Puget Sound warehouses & plants we've cleared. Loaded bays and plant floors taken down to bare concrete, ready to put back to work. Cleared Where it actually goes ## Good gear gets a second life — scrap gets recycled, not landfilled. A bay of pallet racking or a piece of equipment that's still in working shape is worth something, and we'd rather it went back to work than into a hole in the ground. We route resaleable racking, shelving, and usable industrial gear to **liquidators and resellers instead of dumping it. Usable household-type items from mixed cleanouts go to **charitable organizations like Second Spark **. What can't be reused gets sorted, not shrugged off. Steel racking, machine frames, and scrap metal go to our private recycling partners across King County, where **King County diverts roughly 57% of its waste from the landfill — and** 100% of the appliances we pull, like break-room fridges, are recycled. E-waste, electronics, and control boards are kept separate and handled the right way. We don't run loads to a transfer station and call it recycling. Start to empty floor ## Three steps to a cleared facility floor. 1 ### Call, text, or send a photo Call or text (206) 722-4285, or send a photo of the floor. Tell us your deadline and your facility, and we'll tell you what we need from your side — usually a COI to building management and a dock window. 2 ### On-site walkthrough or photo quote For a full warehouse or plant we'll do a quick on-site walkthrough; for a smaller clear-out a photo is enough. Either way you get a firm, all-inclusive price before we touch a thing — no per-item fees, no surprise load charges. 3 ### We clear it, swept clean We confirm the dock window, bring the crew and the right-sized truck, break down the racking and machinery, and clear it out — swept-clean floor by your deadline.

They broke the racking down, sorted the scrap, and had the bay swept by end of day — and they timed it around our inbound so we never lost a dock." Facility Manager · Distribution center, Kent ★★★★★ "Decommissioning a production line left us with heavy machine frames and pallets of [e-waste](https://mrjunkbgoneseattle.com/electronic-waste-disposal/). They had the COI to our building manager before I asked, separated the electronics out, and cleared the floor faster than we expected." Plant Operations Lead · Manufacturer, SODO ★★★★★ "We set up a recurring pickup for pallets and packaging waste. It just runs now — they show up on schedule, the Net-30 invoicing keeps accounting happy, and our fire-lanes stay clear."

One of our trucks next to two cars. A "full load" only means something if you know the size of the truck. Our beds run 12 to 16 feet long, all 8 feet wide and 5 feet tall, and we often load above the rails and tarp it down. For the biggest jobs we send our 24-foot truck. More capacity means most projects fit in one load. No second trip charges, no "we'll have to come back tomorrow." You get the same work done for less.

Warehouse clear-out questions ## Questions Puget Sound facility managers actually ask. Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance for our facility? Yes — just ask. We carry $4 million in liability coverage and provide COIs routinely for Kent, SODO and Seattle industrial accounts, naming your facility or management company as additional insured. We'll get it to building management before the job so the dock window is cleared. Can you work around our dock schedule and forklift crew? Yes — that's most of the job on a working floor. We time our arrival to your dock so we're not blocking inbound freight, and we coordinate with your forklift and dock crew when one's available. When it isn't, we bring our own equipment and the muscle to move heavy racking and machinery. Do you handle scrap metal, machinery, and e-waste? All of it. We break down and haul pallet racking, mezzanine shelving, conveyors, and decommissioned machinery; sort scrap steel and metal for recycling; and keep e-waste, electronics, and control boards separate so they're handled the right way — not buried in a mixed load. Are you set up on our vendor platform or work-order system? Almost certainly — we're credentialed and active on every major vendor management platform commercial property uses: Appfolio, Yardi VendorShield & VendorCafe, RealPage Vendor Compliance, NetVendor, VendorPM, Notivus, and Compliance Depot (RealPage Vendor ID 1184316). We also offer Net-30 for verified corporate accounts. Send the work order through your usual system and we'll run it from there. Can you set up a recurring pickup for pallets and packaging waste? Yes. A lot of our facility accounts run on a standing schedule — weekly, monthly, or by the project — to keep pallets, shrink-wrap, scrap, and packaging from piling up in the fire-lanes. Tell us your cadence and we'll keep it cleared. How much does it cost to clear a warehouse or plant floor? Pricing is based on volume, weight, and how hard the access is — all-inclusive, with no per-item fees or fuel surcharges. There's a $99 minimum and the on-site walkthrough is free, so you get a firm price before we move anything. ## Don't Call the 800 Number. Call Your Neighbors.
