Basement & Storage Unit Cleanouts

Basements and storage units fill up fast—and once they’re packed, they’re hard to tackle alone. Rodeo Junk Removal provides full-service basement and storage unit cleanouts across Southern Middle Tennessee, Middle Tennessee, and North Alabama with free on-site estimates, upfront pricing, and all the heavy lifting handled for you.

Whether you’re clearing one corner, emptying an entire basement, or closing out a storage unit, we’ll load it, haul it off, and sweep up before we leave so the space feels usable again.

What We Remove From Basements & Storage Units

If it’s taking up space, we can usually haul it off. Common items include:

  • Boxes, bags, and general clutter
  • Old furniture and mattresses
  • Appliances (fridges, washers/dryers, etc.)
  • Broken shelving and storage racks
  • Old tools, scrap, and garage overflow
  • Kids’ toys, bikes, seasonal décor
  • Carpet, flooring, and renovation leftovers
  • Electronics and miscellaneous household junk

If you’re not sure about an item, just ask—we’ll tell you what’s okay and what isn’t.


How Basement & Storage Unit Cleanouts Work

  1. Reach out — call, text, or request an estimate online.
  2. Free on-site estimate — we walk the space and give an upfront price before we start.
  3. We clear it out — you point to what goes, we do the lifting, hauling, and loading.
  4. Haul-off + cleanup — we remove it from the property and do a quick sweep of the work area.

What Affects the Price of a Basement or Storage Unit Cleanout?

Cleanout pricing is based on the amount of space the load takes, the weight, and the labor involved. We keep it straightforward.

  • Volume (quarter unit vs. full unit / partial basement vs. full basement)
  • Access (stairs, narrow hallways, long carries, elevators, loading docks)
  • Distance to the truck (especially at large storage facilities)
  • Sorting needs (what’s going vs. what’s staying)
  • Disassembly (shelving, racks, furniture breakdown)
  • Heavy items (safes, appliances, bulky furniture)

We’ll explain the price in plain language so it makes sense.


Common Reasons People Call Us

  • Moving and need the basement cleared out
  • Storage unit getting too expensive—time to empty it
  • Estate situations where “everything got put in storage”
  • Garage overflow moved into the basement
  • Preparing a home to sell
  • Getting a property ready for new tenants
  • Finally reclaiming usable space

Basement Cleanout vs. Storage Unit Cleanout (What’s Different?)

Basements often involve stairs and tight access, while storage units can involve long carries and facility rules. Either way, we plan the quickest route, bring the right crew, and keep the cleanout moving.


Storage Unit Cleanout Tip (To Save You Time)

If your storage unit is at a facility, send us the facility name and gate info (if any). If there are time restrictions or a long walk from unit to parking, we’ll plan for it so the cleanout goes fast and smooth.


Not always. As long as we can access the items and you approve the estimate, we can often complete it without you being present.

Yes. We handle basements all the time—even tight stairwells and narrow hallways.

Either way works. You can do a full cleanout or a partial cleanout—just tell us what goes.

Yes. We’ll load directly from the unit, haul everything off, and keep things moving. Gate codes and facility rules help us plan.

Any size—from small units to full 10×20+ units. The price depends on volume, weight, and access.

When possible, we set aside usable items for donation. Some items can’t be donated, but we always aim for responsible disposal.

Photos can help us prepare, but final pricing is given in person after a quick look.

Often sooner than you think. Call or text and we’ll share the next available time.
