Storage Unit Cleanouts in Denton, TX & DFW
Need your storage unit cleared before the next billing date? Mean Green handles storage unit cleanouts across Denton and the North DFW service area. Our crew does the lifting, loading, hauling, and disposal, and most units are cleared in a single visit, so you get the unit back without renting a truck or making repeated trips to the dump.
We clear units for renters, homeowners, estate executors, and storage facility operators. You receive a firm price before we load a single item.
How Our Storage Unit Cleanout Process Works
A storage locker cleanout should be simple once you know what you want removed. We keep the visit clear so you understand the estimate before work begins.
Open the Unit
Share the gate code, unit number, and any access instructions when you schedule. Our crew calls ahead before arriving in the two-hour window you chose. Meet us at the unit, or ask about remote access when you book.
Check the Load
The crew walks the unit and reviews every item before touching a single piece. You receive a firm quote based on how much space the contents fill in our 18-cubic-yard truck. Work does not start until you say go.
Clear the Unit
Once you approve the price, we load the unit and haul it away, in one trip for most units. On-Time or $50 Off holds us to your arrival window, and the Property Protection Guarantee covers careful work around doors, hallways, elevators, and facility grounds.

What a Storage Unit Cleanout Costs, by Unit Size
Storage unit cleanout pricing is based on the volume your items fill in our truck, not the square footage on your rental contract. Packing density, elevator or stair access, and the walking distance from the unit to the truck all affect your estimate.
Our truck holds 18 cubic yards. The table below gives rounded, deliberately wide planning ranges for common unit sizes. Two units of the same size can fill very different amounts of the truck, so your price is set by the volume the crew sees on site, not by the unit size itself.
| Unit Size | Est. Load Fraction | Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| 5×5 | Minimum to 1/3 load | About $115 to $400 |
| 10×10 | 1/8 to 5/8 load | About $200 to $550 |
| 10×15 | 1/4 to 3/4 load | About $300 to $600 |
| 10×20 | 1/3 load to a full load | About $375 to $700 |
| 10×30 / full unit | 1/2 load to more than one load | About $450 to $700+ |
You receive a firm quote before any loading begins. The crew walks the unit, reviews the contents, and gives you a price on the spot. Special-handling items, elevator access, or unusual pieces may affect the estimate.
Mean Green pricing starts at $115 for a minimum load and runs to $695 for a full 18-cubic-yard truckload. A large or tightly packed unit can need more than one load, and the crew tells you before any work starts. Labor, loading, hauling, truck space, and disposal are all included. See the full junk removal pricing breakdown for every load size.
Access, Gate Codes, and Whether You Need to Be There
If you cannot be at the facility, share the gate code, unit number, facility hours, and whether the unit is indoor or drive-up when you book. Call 940-758-5300 before scheduling so we can confirm the facility allows the crew in without you, since policies vary by location.
Our 18-cubic-yard trucks fit the contents of most units in one load, so you usually do not need to arrange a second vehicle or a follow-up visit. If a large or densely packed unit will need more than one load, the crew explains that during the walkthrough, before any work begins. The two-hour arrival window gives you a reliable time to plan around.
When being present matters: if the unit holds personal records, family items, or valuables you want to sort before removal, being on-site is the simpler option. You set aside what you keep, and we clear the rest. For estate-related cleanouts where someone else holds the authorization, the authorized contact can provide access and approval.
Beating Your Move-Out Date
Same-day and next-day scheduling are available when the schedule allows. Share your lease-end date or next billing date when you book so we can plan the appointment before the deadline. Most storage facilities require a fully empty unit for move-out inspection, so the earlier you schedule, the more buffer you have.
Our crew handles the full removal in one visit for most units, so you can usually submit your move-out notice the same day. On a tight timeline, call 940-758-5300 for current availability.
After the removal, confirm the final condition requirements with your facility directly. Some facilities expect a completely empty space with loose debris removed, while others have specific inspection standards. Note your facility’s requirements when scheduling and our crew can confirm what the removal plan covers before starting.
For Storage Facility Operators: Abandoned and Lien-Sale Units
Texas self-service storage liens fall under Property Code Chapter 59. Facilities must complete the required notice, advertisement, and lien-sale process before directing disposal of a unit’s contents. Mean Green does not determine legal compliance or provide legal advice, so have your legal or compliance staff confirm the process is complete before scheduling a cleanout.
Once the facility has the right to release the contents, we coordinate the removal with the facility contact. We require a written work order identifying the unit, the authorized contact, and the access procedure before work begins. Confirm insurance certificates and site-access rules in advance.
For recurring turnover work, multi-unit projects, or large commercial removals, our warehouse cleanout service handles jobs at a commercial scale. Call 940-758-5300 to set up a work order, confirm access requirements, and plan the arrival window around your site schedule.
What We Take From Storage Units and What We Can't
You do not need to drag items to the door or curb before the crew arrives. We remove eligible nonhazardous contents directly from the unit and haul them away.
- Furniture: sofas, dressers, dining sets, shelving units
- Appliances: refrigerators, washers, dryers, microwaves
- Mattresses and box springs
- Boxes, storage bins, and loose clutter
- Clothing and household goods
- Electronics: TVs, monitors, and computer equipment
- Sporting goods, tools, and yard equipment
- Toys, seasonal decorations, and general clutter
Large pieces like a full dining set or bedroom suite go out with the rest of the contents. Need a single bulky piece gone from home as well? See our furniture removal service.
Items we cannot take or that need advance review: asbestos, bleach, and medicines are not accepted. Paint requires review based on type and condition. Bed bug-infested items are accepted with a $350 special-handling charge. Flag chemicals, fuels, batteries, and unknown containers before the appointment so the crew can confirm what the removal plan covers.
Donation and Recycling From Storage Cleanouts
Usable items in good condition may be routed for donation to local community partners in the Denton area. Recyclable materials are separated when their condition and local acceptance options allow. We sort what we take and route it responsibly.
Not every item qualifies. Donation outlets have their own restrictions, and some materials cannot be recycled regardless of condition. Final routing depends on the material, its condition, and what local options accept at the time of the cleanout, so we cannot guarantee a donation placement for any specific item. Have pieces you hope to donate? Mention them when you call 940-758-5300.
When the Unit Is Part of an Estate or a Move
Storage units come up often during estate settlements and household moves. Executors and family members clearing an inherited unit should sort contents before removal begins. Keep documents, valuables, heirlooms, and anything you plan to retain clearly separated so the crew knows what stays. There is no rush on our end during the review.
For larger inherited-property projects, our estate cleanout services cover the house and the storage unit in one coordinated plan. If the unit is part of a move, our move-out cleanouts cover the house or apartment too, so one crew can handle both. Call 940-758-5300 to talk through which service fits your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to clean out a storage unit?
Pricing starts at $115 for a minimum load, and a full 18-cubic-yard truckload is $695. A small, lightly packed unit sits near the low end, while a large, full unit can reach a full load or more. Cost depends on the volume of your items, how tightly the unit is packed, access conditions, and any special-handling requirements. The final price is set during the on-site walkthrough, before loading begins. Call 940-758-5300 or book online to schedule your free estimate.
Do I need to be there?
Not always. Share the gate code, unit number, facility hours, and access details when you book, and confirm with the facility that the crew can access the unit without you. If the unit holds personal records, valuables, or family items you want to sort before we load, being present is the simpler option.
How long does a storage unit cleanout take?
Most units clear in one to three hours. Time depends on unit size, how full it is, and access conditions such as elevator use or long walking distances. Our 18-cubic-yard trucks handle most units in a single load, which keeps the job moving without a second visit.
Can you clear my unit before my lease ends?
Same-day and next-day availability may be possible, depending on the schedule. Share the deadline when you book so we can plan the appointment around it. Booking early is the best protection against a tight timeline or a last-minute schedule conflict.
What can't you remove from a storage unit?
Mean Green cannot remove asbestos, bleach, or medicines. Paint requires advance review based on type and condition. Chemicals, fuels, batteries, and unknown containers must be flagged before the appointment. Bed bug-infested items are accepted with a $350 special-handling charge.
