How do you clean out a storage unit in Treasure Valley?

Sort everything into keep, sell, donate, and toss piles, then let The Junkluggers handle the haul so you can focus on decisions.

Storage units can hold a lot of stuff, and it’s easy to forget this until you open the door and see it in person. So if you plan on clearing one out, the first step is to sort items into four categories: keep, sell, donate, and toss.

When you work with The Junkluggers, usable items are sent to charity. Everything else is slated for disposal. Once you make the decisions on what needs to stay and what can go, The Junkluggers take care of the heavy lifting for you.

The tricky part in Treasure Valley is that most storage facilities do not allow extended access for large-scale cleanouts. Many have limited hours and restrict the use of on-site dumpsters for big loads. Others require the account holder to be present during removal work. That tight window makes it very difficult to sort, load, and haul everything yourself in a single visit.

The Junkluggers of Treasure Valley will meet you at the unit. While there they can help you handle the lifting and hauling, and route donatable items to local charity partners. In most cases, the cleanout happens in just one visit.

The Junkluggers regularly help locals downsize from multiple units to one, hauling away excess so you only pay to store what matters. If you are relocating and can’t be there in person, they can get in touch with the facility manager directly, allowing us to clear the space on your behalf, provided we have your permission.

We also specialize in clearing inherited units. When a loved one passes away, we know the contents can be a mystery. Our crew treats the space with respect. Any items that seem like they could be valuable or sentimental are set aside for your family’s review before anything leaves the property.

Please keep in mind that we cannot transport hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, solvents, asbestos, oil, or oil tanks alongside general items. Simply separate these materials before our crew arrives to keep the cleanout moving smoothly. For any items we are able to donate on your behalf, we will happily provide you with the applicable donation receipts.
