A storage unit cleanout in Kitchener costs what the contents fill in our truck: $320 to $600 for a typical 5x10, more for a large unit packed to the door, priced on our published rates and locked before we load. We empty units across Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge in one visit, take everything you are not keeping, and leave the unit broom-swept so you can hand back the keys and stop the rent.

Empty it once, stop the rent
The whole point of clearing a unit is to stop paying for it, so the job is only done when it is empty enough to hand back. We load the entire contents in one visit where we can, so you are not making three car trips across town and still paying another month.
If you want to keep some of it, point out what stays and we take the rest, or we clear the lot. Either way you walk out with the unit empty and the keys ready to return.
Storage unit cleanout cost by unit size
Our truck holds about 15 cubic yards. Units are rarely packed solid, so this table assumes the contents stand about shoulder height, roughly 5 feet, across the floor. The prices come straight from our published truck tiers.
| Unit size | Contents at about 5 ft high | Truck space | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5x5 locker | about 4.5 cu yd | about 1/4 to 1/2 truck | $200 to $450 |
| 5x10 | about 9 cu yd | about 1/2 to 3/4 truck | $320 to $600 |
| 10x10 | about 18 cu yd | a full truck plus a little | $750 to $1,100 |
| 10x20 | about 37 cu yd | two to three loads | quoted from photos |
A unit that is half empty costs half as much, because you pay for what is there, not the size on the door. Send a photo from the doorway and we tighten the range before you book. Clearing a whole house as well as the unit? The whole-house cleanout cost page shows how multi-load jobs are priced.
Storage unit cleanup versus cleanout
A cleanout means everything goes. A cleanup is usually a sort: you keep the boxes that matter, we take the broken furniture, the mattress that went mouldy, the appliances nobody will use again, and whatever the facility will not let you leave behind. Point out what stays, or mark it with tape, and we load around it. Either way, the unit is swept when we are done, because most facilities expect it returned empty and clean.
For facility operators too
Self-storage operators with an abandoned or defaulted unit to clear can call us for a fast turnaround, so the unit is rentable again quickly. We give a firm per-unit price and a clean invoice, and can handle several units in one trip.
Getting rid of it in Kitchener and Waterloo Region
Most tri-city storage facilities sit around Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge, minutes from the Region of Waterloo drop-off sites at 925 Erb Street West in Waterloo and 201 Savage Drive in Cambridge, so a unit clear is an efficient run. The sites only accept waste generated inside Waterloo Region, and there is a $15 minimum charge per load and mixed, unsorted loads are billed at the highest rate per load; we sort donation and recycling out on the way so you are not billed landfill weight for things that had somewhere better to go.
What storage unit cleanout costs in Kitchener
A storage unit is priced by the volume it fills, the same as any junk load. A small locker is a minimum-to-quarter-truck job; a large unit packed to the door is more. We quote it from your description or a photo and lock the price before we load.
| Truck space | What it holds | Typical all-in price |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum / single item | A couch, a fridge, a mattress | $90 to $150 |
| 1/4 truck | A small room or a few big items | $200 to $300 |
| 1/2 truck | A garage or a bedroom set | $320 to $450 |
| 3/4 truck | A basement or a small cleanout | $450 to $600 |
| Full truck | A whole-home or estate cleanout | $550 to $750 |

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to clear a storage unit in Kitchener?
It is priced by volume, from a minimum charge for a small locker up to a full-truck price for a large unit packed to the door. Send a photo or describe it and we quote before we load.
How much does it cost to clean out a 10x10 storage unit?
A 10x10 with contents about shoulder high is roughly 18 cubic yards, a full truck plus a little, which is $750 to $1,100 on our published rates. A unit that is only partly full costs less, and we lock the price after seeing it.
What is the difference between a storage unit cleanup and a cleanout?
A cleanout empties the whole unit. A cleanup is a sort: you keep what matters and we take the rest. Both end with the unit swept for handback.
Can you empty the unit the same day?
Usually yes, or next-day, across Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge. We load it in one visit where we can so you can stop the rent.
Can you set aside things I want to keep?
Yes. Point out what stays and we take the rest, or clear the whole unit. Your call.
Do you clear abandoned units for storage facilities?
Yes. We give operators a firm per-unit price, a clean invoice, and can turn several units in one trip so they are rentable again fast.
Do I need to be there?
It helps for access and to flag anything you keep, but with unit access and instructions we can often handle it without you on site.
Will the unit be left clean?
Yes, broom-swept and ready to hand back to the facility.
