Clearing out an entire apartment is a different beast than tossing a few bags of junk. There’s furniture to carry down flights of stairs, appliances to disconnect, closets and storage lockers packed with years of belongings, and a hard deadline — a lease ending, a new tenant arriving, or a sale closing. Our full-service apartment cleanout crews handle all of it: sorting, lifting, hauling, and sweeping, so you hand over the keys to an empty, presentable unit.
We work with tenants who are moving out, landlords preparing units for turnover, families managing estate situations, and property managers dealing with abandoned belongings. Every job starts with a free, upfront quote based on the volume being removed — never on your time pressure. Serving the entire Greater Toronto Area, we make apartment cleanouts fast, affordable, and responsibly handled.
Few things create more stress than an apartment that needs to be empty by a certain date. Whether you’re a tenant facing a final walkthrough, a landlord who just got the keys back to a unit full of leftovers, or a family clearing a loved one’s home, waiting days for a junk company isn’t an option. Our crews regularly complete same-day and next-day cleanouts, arriving with a truck, tools, and enough hands to clear a full unit in a single visit.
We remove everything you point at — furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, boxes, bagged items, and general clutter — and we sort as we go. Usable furniture and household goods are donated to local charities, recyclables are diverted to the right facilities, and only true waste heads to disposal. You get an empty apartment; the landfill gets as little as possible.
Wondering what an apartment cleanout costs? Pricing is based on how much space your items take in our truck, and we give you a firm number before any work begins.

An apartment cleanout involves far more than hauling junk. Elevators need to be booked, common hallways protected, oversized furniture dismantled to fit through doorways, and dozens of decisions made about what gets donated, recycled, or discarded. Doing it alone means days of exhausting trips; hiring us means it’s finished in hours.
At Live Junk Free, we’ve cleared studio apartments, multi-bedroom condos, basement suites, and everything in between. Whether it’s an end-of-lease move-out, a downsizing project, an estate cleanout, a renovation prep, or an abandoned-unit turnover for a property manager, we adapt the crew size and truck capacity to the job.
Our team coordinates directly with building management when needed — booking service elevators, following move-out procedures, and laying floor and wall protection through lobbies and corridors. Inside the unit, we do the sorting, dismantling, bagging, and carrying, so you never lift a thing.
Every Apartment Cleanout Includes:
Same-Day Apartment Cleanouts Available!
Full-unit cleanouts cost less per item than piece-by-piece removals — and multi-unit landlord rates save even more
Floor runners, corner guards, and insured crews protect the unit and every common area in between
Evenings, weekends, and same-day slots timed to your lease end, closing, or tenant move-in
Usable furniture and goods reach local charities instead of the dump, with receipts available on request
Sorting, dismantling, carrying, hauling, and broom-sweeping — all covered in your quote
We book elevators, follow condo rules, and protect every hallway we pass through
Emptying an apartment doesn’t have to mean filling a dumpster:
Responsible disposal is standard on every unit we clear.
Whole-unit cleanouts shouldn’t come with mystery bills:
Whatever the situation, our crews have cleared it before:
Send photos or a short video of the rooms that need clearing, or book a quick on-site assessment for larger units.
Get a clear, volume-based quote covering labour, hauling, donation runs, recycling, and final sweep-up — all in one number.
Choose a same-day, next-day, or scheduled slot that lines up with your lease deadline, closing date, or turnover schedule.
Our crew clears every room, hallway, balcony, and storage locker, protects the building's common areas, and leaves the unit broom-clean.
Take a look at real apartment cleanouts we’ve completed across the GTA — cluttered bedrooms, overflowing living rooms, and abandoned units transformed into empty, move-in-ready spaces in a matter of hours.

Apartment cleanouts often come with questions about pricing, what can be removed, scheduling, building access, and disposal. At Live Junk Free, we help GTA residents understand what to expect before booking a cleanout. Below are answers to some of the most common questions about apartment junk removal and cleanout services. Whether you’re moving, downsizing, handling an estate, or simply clearing unwanted items, these answers can help you plan your cleanout with confidence.
Apartment cleanout costs depend on the amount of junk, furniture, appliances, labour, accessibility, and disposal requirements rather than bedroom count alone. A 3-bedroom apartment will generally cost more when it contains significantly more items than a 1-bedroom unit. Live Junk Free can provide a clear estimate based on the volume and type of items that need to be removed.
Pricing models vary between cleanout companies. At Live Junk Free, the cost can depend on the amount of space your unwanted items occupy, the type of materials being removed, and the work involved. We aim to provide straightforward pricing before the job begins.
A walk-up apartment may require additional labour when crews have to carry heavy furniture and other items down several flights of stairs. The number of floors, amount of junk, item weight, and accessibility can all affect the final price.
Certain appliances require special handling and recycling. Items such as refrigerators, freezers, washers, and dryers may involve additional disposal or recycling costs depending on their type and applicable disposal requirements.
In many cases, photos and details about the items can help provide an initial estimate. For larger or more complex apartment cleanouts, additional information or an on-site assessment may be needed to determine the scope accurately.
This depends on the service provider and the materials being removed. Live Junk Free provides clear information about the expected cost so customers understand what they are paying for before the cleanout begins.
Having items already gathered in an accessible location can sometimes reduce the amount of labour required. However, pricing depends on the overall volume and scope of the job rather than simply where the items are placed.
Junk removal focuses on removing unwanted furniture, appliances, boxes, debris, and other items from the apartment. Move-out cleaning focuses on cleaning floors, kitchens, bathrooms, surfaces, and other areas. Live Junk Free specializes in removing unwanted items and junk from your property.
Payment and deposit policies vary between companies. When booking with Live Junk Free, customers can discuss scheduling and payment requirements in advance so there are no surprises.
Move-out dates can change unexpectedly, so it is best to contact the cleanout company as soon as possible. Live Junk Free can discuss rescheduling options based on appointment availability and the timing of your request.
Live Junk Free can remove a wide range of household junk, furniture, appliances, electronics, boxes, and general unwanted items. Certain hazardous, regulated, or restricted materials may require specialized handling and cannot be accepted as regular junk.
Hazardous materials often require specialized disposal and may not be accepted by standard junk removal services. If you have paint, chemicals, batteries, or other potentially hazardous materials, let Live Junk Free know before your appointment so the appropriate disposal options can be discussed.
Some mounted items and shelving can be removed when they only require basic disassembly. More complicated electrical, structural, or construction work may require a specialized contractor, so it is best to confirm the scope before booking.
Yes, mattresses are commonly included in apartment junk removal services. Depending on the type of mattress and local disposal requirements, additional recycling or disposal costs may apply.
Customers should identify valuables, important documents, sentimental belongings, and anything they want to keep before the cleanout begins. Live Junk Free removes the items designated for removal, so anything that must stay should be clearly separated and communicated to the crew.
A basic cleanup may be possible after items are removed, depending on the service booked. However, a full move-out cleaning or deep cleaning is different from junk removal and may require a separate cleaning service.
Yes. You do not necessarily need to book a complete apartment cleanout if you only need specific items removed. Live Junk Free can remove unwanted large furniture and other selected items according to the scope of your booking.
Hoarding cleanouts can involve significantly more items, difficult access, and additional sorting and disposal requirements. A professional cleanout team can help remove unwanted belongings systematically, while hazardous or biohazardous conditions may require specialized remediation.
Some loose carpeting and flooring materials may be suitable for removal, but permanent flooring removal can involve demolition work. Tell Live Junk Free what type of flooring needs to be removed so the service requirements can be confirmed before booking.
When suitable items can be reused, donation may be an option. Live Junk Free can help separate reusable belongings from items that need recycling or disposal, depending on the items and available donation options.
It is best to schedule a full apartment cleanout as early as possible, particularly when you have a strict move-out deadline. If you need urgent removal, ask Live Junk Free about available same-day or short-notice appointments.
The time required depends on the amount of junk, furniture, appliances, number of workers, building access, elevator availability, and parking. A lightly furnished apartment may take considerably less time than a unit packed with belongings.
Yes, an apartment cleanout may be possible without you being there if appropriate access has been arranged and the removal instructions are clear. Make sure the cleanout team has access to the property and knows exactly which items should be removed.
Elevator restrictions can cause delays, particularly in condos and high-rise buildings. Before the appointment, provide Live Junk Free with your building’s elevator schedule and reserve sufficient time based on the expected size of the cleanout.
Some apartment and condominium buildings require contractors to provide proof of insurance or a Certificate of Insurance. If your property manager requires a COI, ask about the requirement before scheduling your cleanout.
The truck needs to be parked in a legal and accessible location that allows the crew to safely load items. For apartments with restricted access, narrow driveways, alleys, or loading areas, provide parking instructions before the appointment.
Parking requirements vary by building and municipality. If your apartment, condo, or property requires a parking permit or loading reservation for commercial vehicles, arrange it before the cleanout to prevent unnecessary delays.
Weekend availability depends on the company’s schedule. If you need a weekend, evening, or urgent appointment, contact Live Junk Free in advance so available scheduling options can be confirmed.
Clearly separate and label everything you want to keep before the crew arrives. Once an item has been removed and disposed of, recovering it may not be possible, so careful preparation is important.
Professional junk removal crews generally arrive with the equipment needed to collect and load the materials being removed. However, packing supplies for moving or storing belongings are not necessarily part of a junk removal service.
If you cannot be present, you can arrange access through an authorized family member, property manager, realtor, or another trusted person. Provide clear instructions about what should be removed, kept, donated, or recycled before the crew arrives.
Eviction cleanouts can involve specific legal requirements regarding a former tenant’s belongings. Property owners and managers should make sure they have the appropriate legal authority to remove and dispose of property before scheduling a cleanout.
Some cleanout projects may involve photographs or basic documentation, but junk removal companies are not generally responsible for legal valuations or probate decisions. If documentation is required for insurance or probate, establish those requirements before the cleanout.
Serious mold, biohazard contamination, or unsafe materials may require specialized remediation before ordinary junk removal can take place. Inform Live Junk Free about any known hazardous conditions before booking so the appropriate service approach can be determined.
Start by separating the belongings you want to keep from everything that needs to go. Then arrange building access, elevator reservations, parking, and professional junk removal as early as possible. For urgent deadlines, contact Live Junk Free to ask about the earliest available appointment.
Sensitive financial records should be handled through secure document-destruction or shredding services. Do not place confidential documents in ordinary junk piles without confirming how they will be handled.
Set aside important documents, valuables, medications, electronics, sentimental belongings, and anything you plan to keep. Clearly label or remove these items before the Live Junk Free crew begins the cleanout.
Check your municipality’s bulky-item collection and waste disposal options first. If the couch is still in usable condition, selling or donating it may also be an option. If you need convenient removal, a professional junk removal service can handle the lifting and hauling.
Start by creating five categories: Keep, Sell, Donate, Recycle, and Remove. Pack essential belongings first, arrange disposal for large items, coordinate elevator and parking access, schedule junk removal, and complete a final inspection after everything unwanted has been removed.
Consider the furniture’s condition, age, brand, quality, and current resale demand. If you need to vacate quickly and the item has little resale value, donating it may be more practical than spending time trying to sell it.
