Apartment Cleanout Services in Denver: Move-Out & Tenant Turnover Guide (2026)

Moving Out? Don’t Lose Your Deposit Over Leftover Junk

Your lease ends this month. You’ve packed everything you’re taking, but there’s a pile of stuff that isn’t coming with you — the futon that won’t fit in the moving truck, a bookshelf that’s falling apart, bags of random stuff you’ve accumulated, and that "temporary" desk from your first week. If you leave it behind, your landlord will deduct removal costs from your security deposit — typically $200-$500.

A quick apartment cleanout before your final walkthrough saves your deposit and leaves the unit move-in ready.

  3. Schedule junk removal — Book us for the day before or day of your final walkthrough
  4. Do a final sweep — Check closets, cabinets, the balcony, and storage unit
  5. Take photos — Document the empty, clean apartment for deposit disputes

For Landlords: Tenant Turnover Cleanouts

Tenant moved out and left stuff behind? Whether it’s a few items or an apartment full of furniture, we handle the entire cleanout.

Colorado Abandoned Property Law

Before disposing of a former tenant’s belongings, Colorado law requires you to follow the abandoned property statute:

  • Written notice must be sent to the tenant’s last known address
  • Waiting period — Varies based on circumstances (typically 15-30 days after notice)
  • Document everything — Photograph items before removal for legal protection

Once the waiting period has passed, call us and we’ll clear everything out.

Landlord/Property Manager Pricing

  • Single unit: $149-$449 depending on volume
  • Multiple units: Volume discounts — call for custom pricing
  • Recurring service: We offer preferred rates for property managers with regular turnover needs

We also provide apartment turnover checklists and work with your cleaning crew’s schedule.

Apartment Building Logistics We Handle

Denver apartments have unique access challenges. We’re experienced with all of them:

  • Elevator buildings: We coordinate with building management, use service elevators when available, and protect floors and walls during moves
  • Walk-ups (no elevator): We carry everything down stairs — even heavy items like couches and mattresses from 3rd and 4th floor units
  • Loading zones: We park in designated loading areas and work within building-approved time windows
  • Narrow hallways: Older Denver buildings (Capitol Hill, Cheesman, Baker) have notoriously tight hallways. We navigate them daily.
  • Storage units: If you have a building storage cage or unit, we can clear that too in the same trip
  • Dumpster restrictions: Many buildings don’t allow large items in shared dumpsters. We take it all off-site — no dumpster overflow, no angry building managers

Denver Apartment Areas We Serve

  • Capitol Hill / Cheesman Park — Dense apartment neighborhood, lots of walk-ups
  • Five Points / RiNo — Mix of historic and new builds
  • Baker / Broadway — Older buildings with character (and narrow stairs)
  • Highlands / LoHi — Condo and apartment heavy
  • Stapleton / Central Park — Newer apartment complexes
  • LoDo / Downtown — High-rises with loading dock access
  • Aurora — Large apartment complexes along Havana and Chambers
  • Lakewood / Littleton / Arvada — Suburban apartments and condos

End of Month Rush

The last week of every month is peak move-out season in Denver. Leases end on the 30th/31st, and everyone scrambles to clear out at the same time.

Pro tip: Book your cleanout 3-5 days before the end of the month. Last-day-of-lease bookings fill up fast, especially at the end of May, July, and August.
