What Is A Storage Unit Cleanout?
Storage unit cleanout in Toronto covers locker and self-storage clearances at facilities across the GTA including Public Storage, Dymon Storage, and independent operators. A WSIB-compliant two-person crew coordinates elevator booking and loading bay access with facility management, then sorts the load to Furniture Bank Toronto for usable furniture, metal scrap processors for appliances, and Ontario Ministry of the Environment eco-certified transfer stations for the remainder.
Most people who call us have been paying for the locker longer than they intended. A unit that was rented for three months during a move has quietly run for four years at $200 to $300 a month, and the reason it is still going is that emptying it needs a truck, a free afternoon, and somewhere for the contents to go. The truck, the crew, and somewhere for the contents to go are exactly what our junk removal service across Toronto and the GTA provides in a single booking.
We solve all three in one visit.
What Is Included
- Complete clearing of the locker, any size from 5x5 to 10x20
- Coordination of gate access, hours, and loading bay with the facility
- Certificate of Insurance provided to the operator where required
- Items you want kept separated before loading
- Trolleys and equipment for long corridor runs
- Sweep-through of the unit for handback
- Donation, recycling, and eco-certified disposal sorting
Common Problems We Solve
The Locker Costs More Than The Contents
This is the calculation almost every caller has done. At $250 a month, four years of storage is $12,000 against contents that would cost a fraction of that to replace. Clearing it once usually costs less than two months of rent on the unit.
The Facility Has Rules
Access hours, gate codes, loading bay allocation, and insurance requirements differ between operators and change without much notice. We confirm all of it before the visit so the truck is not turned away at the gate.
You Are Not In The City
Plenty of lockers belong to people who have moved provinces or countries. With written authorisation to the facility, we can clear the unit without you present and send photographs of the empty locker.
Auctioned Or Abandoned Units
Facility operators and auction buyers need units cleared fast, often within days. We work to that timeline and provide written confirmation of the clearance date.
What It Costs
- 5x5 or 5x10 locker: $149 to $279
- 10x10 locker: $279 to $389
- 10x20 locker: $349 to $449, occasionally a second load
- Additional truckloads: $349 to $499
Every quote covers the clearing, the trolleys, the disposal, and the sweep. If the locker contents overlap with a house move, it is usually cheaper to combine both into one booking. See move-out cleanouts or general junk removal in Toronto.
