How do you clear out a manufacturing or industrial building?
Updated: September 16, 2026
To clear out a manufacturing or industrial building, separate anything hazardous or specialized for proper handling. Then have a commercial junk removal crew take care of everything else.
Industrial cleanouts are often huge jobs. When manufacturing plants or warehouses have been running for years, they fill up with all kinds of things. Often, that includes old machinery and equipment, workbenches and shelving, pallets and scrap, office furniture, and the general debris of production. When a facility is closing or relocating, all of it has to go somewhere. And this often happens with a tight lease deadline looming.
Before most junk removal can begin, the materials that need special handling need to be set aside. This includes hazardous materials, chemicals, oils, and certain regulated waste. These are not part of a junk removal job and must go through the proper licensed channels.
Once these are set aside, the vast majority of the clearout will be for non-hazardous equipment, materials, debris, machinery, and furniture. This can be handled by a typical junk removal crew and a lot of the time, can be recycled rather than sent to the landfill.
