A storage unit rarely feels expensive month to month, but add it up over a year or two and it's real money spent guarding stuff you forgot you owned. We treat storage cleanouts as a self-contained job: our crew meets you at the facility, clears the unit top to bottom in a single visit, and you're free to walk into the office and cancel the account before the day is out.
Couches, boxed-up kitchens, tools, old electronics, seasonal gear — we clear it all, and we do the work right there at the facility so nothing has to get hauled back to your place first. If you'd rather dig through a few specific boxes before we get going, that's fine — we'll hold off or swing back once you've pulled what you need.
Most of the units we clear haven't been opened in a while, so what's inside tends to follow a pattern rather than being some mystery grab bag. A unit that's been sitting untouched usually includes some combination of:
Nobody signs a storage lease planning to walk away from it, but it happens constantly, and we don't need the backstory to do the job. The version we hear most in Tampa: rent stopped getting paid on a unit nobody has physically visited in ages, the monthly charge finally feels like money down the drain, and the goal is simply to get it emptied and the account closed for good. Right behind that is the facility's own deadline — a lien letter or auction notice landing in the mail because the account fell behind, which puts a hard date on clearing everything out before the facility takes possession and sells or disposes of it themselves. A third pattern shows up around PCS orders and relocations — MacDill and the broader Tampa Bay area see a steady stream of moves where paying to store a unit long-distance stops making sense the moment someone's stationed somewhere else. Whatever brought you to this point, the fix looks the same: get the space empty and the account shut down before it turns into a bigger headache.
Racing a lien or auction date? Tell us when you request your quote. Storage cleanouts are almost always same-day work for us, so a unit can usually be fully cleared with time to spare before a facility's cutoff — you don't need to plan weeks ahead to beat it.
This job happens on somebody else's property under somebody else's rules, so we sort out logistics before the truck ever leaves. Ahead of time we confirm gate hours and exactly how we're getting onto the property — your code, a shared access card, or something arranged through the office in advance. Plenty of facilities lock down access outside daytime hours, so we plan the visit around whatever window the property actually allows rather than assuming it's open around the clock. We also ask about the unit itself: a drive-up, ground-floor unit lets the truck pull right up to the door, while an interior unit or one on an upper floor of a downtown or climate-controlled facility usually means routing through a hallway, loading dock, or elevator — details that change how we staff the crew and plan the route out. Send that information ahead of the visit and the crew won't be guessing at the gate.
You're welcome to skip the trip entirely if it's more convenient. Give us a gate code, a shared card, or have the office expecting us, and we'll handle the clearing solo, then text photos once the unit is swept out so you can confirm it's ready before you close the account.
Two things drive the price: how big the unit is and how full it actually is, and nearly every job falls somewhere inside our usual $180–$590 range. A small 5x5 or 5x10 that's only partway full tends to sit near the bottom of that range, around $180–$290. A 10x10 that's genuinely packed tight — the kind where the door barely swings open — usually settles in the middle. A large 10x20 or 10x30 filled to the ceiling, or a smaller unit that's had years of stuff wedged into every gap, is what tends to push things toward the top, roughly $400–$590. A handful of photos sent along with your quote request is normally all we need to give you an accurate flat number without scheduling a separate walkthrough.
One visit, one flat price, unit empty and the account ready to close. We coordinate with you directly and with the facility office when it's called for — gate codes, access windows, elevator scheduling — so the entire thing can happen without you needing to be on-site if your schedule doesn't allow it. If the storage unit is only one piece of a bigger cleanup — maybe there's a garage at home in the same boat, or you're handling a relative's estate — we cover that too; see our garage cleanout and estate cleanout pages for how those jobs work.
We clear storage units at facilities throughout Tampa and every community on our service area list, including Brandon, Riverview, and the neighborhoods closer to downtown.
Storage Unit Cleanouts is available same-day across Tampa and these nearby Hillsborough County communities:
A small unit that's only half full generally falls between $180 and $290. A large unit stuffed solid from floor to ceiling is more likely to land between $400 and $590 — the swing comes down to volume, not the unit size on paper.
No — a lot of our Tampa customers are out of state or just busy with work. As long as you can arrange gate access or an office check-in for us, we can clear the whole unit without you standing there.
Usually — text or email a handful of photos of what's inside and we can put together a solid flat quote without scheduling a walkthrough first.
That's common — plenty of people just want the bulky stuff gone and keep a few boxes. Point out what stays and we'll price around only what's leaving.
When it's needed, yes — we'll talk to the front office about access windows, confirm gate codes ahead of time, or work out elevator scheduling for a unit that isn't on the ground floor.
Almost always — once we've emptied and swept the unit, most Tampa-area facilities will let you close out and stop billing that same afternoon.
We'll pull anything you specifically flag before we start. Beyond that, it's worth doing a quick pass yourself first if there's something specific tucked in there you don't want to lose track of.
Yes — that includes multi-story buildings around downtown and the interior corridor units common in Tampa's climate-controlled facilities. Just mention the unit type and floor when you request a quote so we plan the crew right.
None — we've cleared everything from a cramped 5x5 up through a fully loaded 10x30, and pricing scales with what's actually inside.
Yes, at facilities across all fifteen communities we serve throughout the Tampa Bay area — check the full service area list to confirm we reach your facility.
Quickly. Most storage cleanouts are same-day jobs for us, so we can typically have a unit fully cleared with room to spare before a facility's lien or auction cutoff. Give us the deadline when you request your quote and we'll build the schedule around it.
Not even close, it comes up all the time. Facility staff can usually cut a lock or reset access once you confirm the account is under your name. We can coordinate that ahead of time or just sort it out together when we arrive.
It won't. This is honestly one of the most common calls we get, and there's zero judgment attached. Get us facility access and we'll clear the unit out completely so you can shut the account down and stop the charges from piling up.
