A storage unit clean out gets everything out of your unit and sorted for donation, recycling or disposal, so you can stop paying rent on things you don't use. Jamrock Junk Removal is a family-owned, licensed and insured junk removal company. We clean out storage units across Gainesville, Alachua, Newberry, High Springs and the rest of Alachua County.
Most people don't plan to keep a storage unit for years. A move, a downsize or a family member's estate fills it up, and then the monthly bill keeps coming. By the time you're ready to empty it, the job can feel too big to start. That's where we come in.
Signs it's time to clear out your storage unit
If any of these sound familiar, a clean out will probably save you money and stress:
- You haven't opened the unit in six months or more. If you haven't needed it, you may not need to keep it.
- The rent keeps going up. Storage facilities often raise rates after the first few months.
- You're settling an estate. A loved one's unit has to be emptied, and you may live out of town.
- You're moving or downsizing. Moving a full unit to a new place costs more than clearing out what you no longer want.
- Things inside are damaged. Florida heat and humidity can lead to mold, mildew and pests in units without climate control.
How our storage unit clean outs work
The process is simple, and we do the heavy lifting from start to finish.
- Call or text us. Tell us where the unit is, its size and what's inside.
- Get a free, no-obligation estimate. An experienced team member comes out to see the unit and gives you a quote in person. Our pricing is based on volume, so you only pay for the space your items take up in our truck.
- Pick what stays. Set aside anything you want to keep, or tell us and we'll pull it out for you.
- We load everything. Our crew carries out furniture, boxes, appliances, mattresses and anything else, so you don't have to.
- We sweep up. We leave the unit broom-clean so you can hand it back to the facility.
You don't need to be there for the pickup if that's easier. Just let the facility know we're coming. We always enjoy meeting our customers, though, so you're welcome to stop by.
What happens to your belongings
We dispose of things in an eco-friendly way and try to keep as much out of the landfill as we can.
- Donation: Furniture, clothing, housewares and other usable items go to local charities.
- Recycling: Metal, cardboard, electronics and appliances go to recycling centers.
- Disposal: Only what can't be reused or recycled goes to the landfill, and we handle it properly.
If there's something special you'd like donated, or a charity you want us to use, just ask.
What affects the cost, and how to save
Every unit is different, which is why we give each customer a free estimate in person. A few things affect the price:
- How much there is. Our pricing is based on volume, or how much of the truck your items fill.
- What kind of items they are. Heavy items like appliances, safes or pianos take more effort to move.
- How easy the unit is to reach. Ground-floor drive-up units are faster than upstairs or indoor units.
Ways to keep the cost down:
- Pull out anything you want to keep or sell before we arrive.
- Clean out the whole unit in one visit instead of a few smaller trips.
- Tell us about any heavy or unusual items when you call, so the estimate is accurate.
For most people, a local junk removal company is the easiest choice. One crew handles the lifting, loading, donation drop-offs, recycling and cleanup, so the job gets done in one visit instead of several weekends.
When you're comparing companies, ask:
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Will you give me a free estimate in person before I commit?
- Is your pricing based on volume, so I only pay for what you haul?
- What do you donate and recycle?
- Will you sweep out the unit when you're done?
Jamrock Junk Removal can say yes to every one of those questions. As a family-owned company based in Gainesville, we clear out storage units of every size across Alachua County.
