Landlord
Cleanout Services

Every day a vacated unit sits full is a day it's not generating rent. Call us the day a tenant leaves — you don't have to go inside first. We clear the full unit, document what we removed, and have it empty so you can turn it for the next tenant. Need help with the legal aftermath of an eviction specifically? See our eviction cleanout page.

How the No-Presence-Required Workflow Works

Most landlords who call us aren’t available to be there when we arrive. They’ve got other properties, other obligations, other things. We’ve run hundreds of unit cleanouts without the property owner present.

Here’s how it works:

1
You call or text us the address

Tell us roughly what's in there — fully furnished, partially cleared, just debris — so we can give you an accurate range before we drive out.

2
Access via lockbox, property manager, or leasing office

If you can get us in, we don't need you there. We work with property managers and leasing offices routinely.

3
We confirm the price on arrival, then get to work

We text you the confirmed price before anything leaves the unit. You approve via text — no in-person signature required.

4
Before and after photos sent when we're done

Photos document the cleared unit. Invoice follows by email within the hour.

What We Remove From Vacated Units

Tenant cleanouts typically include a mix of everything: furniture they couldn’t move, appliances they didn’t want, bagged trash, clothing, and loose debris. We take all of it in a single trip.

Items we see most often:

  • Upholstered furniture — sofas, mattresses, recliners
  • Box springs and bed frames
  • Dressers, nightstands, and desks
  • Bagged garbage and loose debris
  • Appliances left behind
  • Children’s furniture and toys

We don’t leave items at the curb or sort through personal documents — everything is hauled out cleanly. If you’re managing multiple properties, ask about volume pricing and ongoing pickup schedules.

Why Junk Doctors

Why Customers Choose Us

1

Call Us Before You Go In — We Handle the Assessment

A lot of landlords call us after they've walked the unit and are already frustrated. You don't have to do that. Call us when the tenant leaves or is removed — describe what you know (one-bedroom, had a full apartment's worth of furniture) and we'll give you a price range before we arrive. We've cleared vacated units across Raleigh, Charlotte, and Greensboro. We know what a one-bedroom with leftover furniture costs before we walk through the door.

2

Same-Day and Next-Day Turnaround

Every vacant day is lost rent. Call before noon and we're usually there the same afternoon. If you've got a new tenant moving in Thursday and it's Monday — tell us. We build our schedule around your turnover timeline, not the other way around. We serve the full Triangle, Charlotte area, and Greensboro market, with same-day availability depending on crew schedule.

3

Invoices, Records, and a Paper Trail

We're not a cash-only hauler. We provide invoices with itemized removal documentation — useful for security deposit records, property management audits, and LLC expense tracking. If you manage properties under an LLC or management company, we can bill accordingly. We work with individual landlords and property management companies across NC.

4

Repeat Business Is How We Work — We Make It Easy

Most of our property manager and landlord clients call us back. Unit turnovers happen on a schedule; tenant move-outs happen without warning. We keep your address, your preferences, and your contact on file so your next call takes two minutes, not twenty. We're not the company you find on Google at 9 PM when you've just discovered what a tenant left behind — we're the company you already have in your phone.

FAQ

Questions Answered.

Pricing is volume-based. A studio or one-bedroom with leftover furniture runs $200–$500. A two- or three-bedroom with appliances and full furnishings runs $400–$900. Units with heavy debris, hoarding-level accumulation, or large outdoor items are quoted on-site. We give you a firm number after the walk — before anything moves.
Call before noon and we can typically be there the same afternoon. If you have a specific turnover deadline — new tenant moving in Thursday, lease starts Friday — tell us when you call and we'll confirm whether we can hit it before you book.
Yes. We coordinate directly with on-site property managers, leasing agents, and management companies — not just the owner. We can receive access instructions from your team, provide invoices for your records system, and handle recurring unit turnovers on an ongoing basis.
That's fine — call us before you go in. Give us the unit size, what you know about the tenant (had full furniture, moved in with a lot of stuff, etc.) and we'll give you a pre-visit price range. The firm quote comes from the walk-through, but most landlords find the pre-visit range is accurate within 10–15%.
Yes. We provide an invoice with a description of items removed. This is useful for security deposit documentation, property management records, and LLC expense tracking. Ask for documentation when you book — we'll make sure it's included.
Yes — eviction cleanouts are a related but distinct service. The main difference is legal context: evictions may involve specific notice and storage requirements under NC law before disposal. We work within those constraints. See our [eviction cleanout page](/what-we-take/eviction-clean-outs/) for the eviction-specific workflow.
Yes. Many of our landlord clients give us a key or access code and let us handle the job independently. We text when we arrive, send a photo when the unit is cleared, and follow up with an invoice. You don't need to be on-site.
Yes — we have crews in Raleigh/Triangle, Charlotte, and Greensboro. For Charlotte, we also cover Concord, Gastonia, and surrounding Mecklenburg County areas. For Greensboro, we cover Guilford County and the Triad. Call your local number for same-day availability in your specific market.
Some materials — paint, chemicals, propane tanks — require separate handling. We'll flag anything hazardous during the walk-through and advise on the right disposal path. We don't just leave it, but we also don't handle regulated hazmat without the appropriate permits. Most tenant move-outs don't involve anything that falls into this category.
