Cleaning out a storage unit can feel overwhelming — especially if it's been years since you've opened the door. Whether you're dealing with an inherited unit, downsizing, or just finally tackling that space you've been avoiding, one of the first questions is always: "How much is this going to cost?"
Good news: we've helped hundreds of people in Aurora and Denver clean out storage units of all sizes. In this guide, we'll break down exactly what you can expect to pay, what affects the cost, and how to save money.
Storage Unit Cleanout Pricing by Size
The biggest factor in cost is the size of your storage unit. Here's what we typically charge for cleanouts in the Denver Metro area:
| Unit Size | Dimensions | Typical Cost | Comparable To |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small (5x5) | 5ft × 5ft | $150 - $250 | Walk-in closet worth of items |
| Small (5x10) | 5ft × 10ft | $200 - $300 | Small bedroom worth of items |
| Medium (10x10) Most Common | 10ft × 10ft | $300 - $500 | 1-bedroom apartment |
| Medium (10x15) | 10ft × 15ft | $450 - $650 | 2-bedroom apartment |
| Large (10x20) | 10ft × 20ft | $600 - $900 | 3-bedroom house |
| Large (10x30) | 10ft × 30ft | $900 - $1,200+ | 4-bedroom house + garage |
These prices assume the unit is about 75% full with typical household items. Half-empty units cost less. Completely packed units (floor to ceiling) will be at the higher end or above.

What Affects Storage Cleanout Costs?
Not all storage units are created equal. Here are the factors that can increase or decrease your final price:
How Full It Is
A half-empty 10x10 costs less than a packed 5x10. We price based on volume, not just unit size.
Types of Items
Furniture and boxes? Standard pricing. Hazardous materials or special disposal items cost extra.
Access & Floor
Ground floor units are cheaper than 3rd floor with no elevator. Easy access saves you money.
Timing
Same-day service is available but may cost 10-20% more than scheduling a few days ahead.
Sorting & Donations
Want us to separate donations from trash? Takes extra time but helps keep costs down overall.
Cleanup Level
Just haul it away, or sweep and leave it spotless? Deep cleaning adds $50-$100.

How to Save Money on Your Storage Cleanout
- Text us a photo first. We can give you a firm estimate before we arrive — no surprises. Text to (303) 324-6014.
- Sort keepers before we arrive. Pull out anything you want to keep beforehand. Less volume = lower price.
- Schedule ahead. Book 2-3 days in advance instead of same-day to avoid rush pricing.
- Bundle with other work. If you also need a garage cleanout or furniture removed from home, we can do it all in one trip.
- Ask about donation credit. Items we donate to Arc Thrift or Habitat ReStore may qualify for tax-deductible donation receipts.
