Apartment Cleanouts in Albuquerque, Cleared in One Visit
A tenant moved out and left half the unit behind. The sofa nobody wanted to carry down three flights, a mattress in the bedroom, bags in every closet, and a fridge that has to go before the next lease starts. The turnover clock is already running and the unit cannot be shown like that.
Junk Out ABQ clears apartments in Albuquerque for property managers, landlords, and tenants finishing a move-out. One crew, one visit, everything designated gone. You get a firm price before we start, we work from a door code if you cannot be there, and the unit is swept up before we leave.
Apartment cleanouts are priced by volume, meaning how much space the load takes in our 14-yard truck. A full truck load holds roughly a one bedroom apartment's worth; a studio or a partial clear costs less. Every price includes the crew, the carry, the hauling and the disposal, and it is confirmed before work begins. See the full price list.
What We Clear Out of an Apartment
AT A GLANCE
How It Works
Call or text the address, the unit size, and roughly how full it is. Photos help. Most quotes are settled in a single phone call.
You get a firm number based on volume before anyone picks anything up. No stair fees, no fuel surcharge, no surprise line items at the end.
Same-day or next-day in most of Albuquerque. Door code, lockbox, or a building manager letting us in all work. You do not need to be on site.
We sweep up, send photos of the empty unit, and issue an invoice with the unit address and service date for your records.
Why Property Managers Call Junk Out ABQ
Bo Knox runs most jobs personally. You are dealing with the owner, not a dispatcher three states away, which is why turnovers get scheduled around your deadline instead of a franchise route.
You pay for the space the load takes in the truck. The carry, the labor, the hauling and the disposal are all in the number, and the number is agreed before we start.
Managing several units at once is normal for us. We can stack cleanouts on the same day and invoice them together so the whole building turns in one pass.
Apartment Cleanouts for Property Managers and Landlords
A vacant unit costs money every day it sits. The bottleneck is almost never the paint or the carpet, it is the pile of furniture the last tenant abandoned and the fact that nobody on staff can move a sleeper sofa down a stairwell.
Junk Out ABQ handles that step for property managers across Albuquerque. We take the unit from full to empty in one visit so your cleaners and your make-ready trades can start the next morning instead of next week.
If the tenant was formally removed rather than simply moving out, the job usually belongs on our eviction cleanouts page, which covers the documentation and timing side of a court-ordered removal.
Move-Out Cleanouts for Tenants
Ending a lease with a truckload of things you do not want to move is normal. The cheapest way out is rarely a rented van and two friends on a Saturday. Whether you call it an apartment cleanout or an apartment clean out, it is the same job and the same price: we load it, we haul it, you hand back the keys.
We clear what you are leaving behind, whether that is the whole unit or the four items that will not fit in the new place. Same-day is available if the walkthrough is tomorrow and you are out of runway. If it is only the big pieces, our furniture removal service covers a single sofa or bedroom set without a full cleanout.
If your storage locker in the building has to be emptied too, add it to the same visit. We cover that under storage unit cleanouts and it is cheaper to clear both at once than to book twice.
Stairs, Elevators, and Access
Apartment work is different from house work, and it is mostly about the carry.
- Walk-ups and stairs. Third floor with no elevator is routine. The carry is included in the volume price, so a top-floor unit does not cost more than a ground-floor one of the same size.
- Elevator buildings. Tell us if the building requires a reserved service elevator or a certificate of insurance on file, and we will work to the building’s rules.
- Loading zones and gated lots. Give us the gate code and where the truck can legally sit. Downtown and near-campus buildings often have a narrow window for a truck at the curb, and knowing that in advance keeps the job on schedule.
- Access without you. Door code, lockbox, or the on-site manager. We confirm scope by phone first and send photos when the unit is clear.
What an Apartment Cleanout Costs
Pricing is by volume, not by the hour and not by the item. What you pay depends on how much room the load takes in our 14-yard truck:
| Load size | Roughly covers |
|---|---|
| Minimum pickup | One recliner, a single appliance, or a couple of bags |
| Quarter load | A couch and loveseat, a washer or dryer, or six to eight boxes |
| Half load | A full room of furniture or a packed storage area |
| Three-quarter load | A large multi-room clear or a full storage unit |
| Full load | Roughly a one bedroom apartment’s worth |
Every load size and its exact price is listed on our pricing page. Prices are for our 14-yard truck and include hauling, crew labor, and disposal. Larger cleanouts run as multiple loads. Your final price is confirmed on site before work begins, and there are no hidden fees. Payment by cash, credit or debit, Cash App, PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle.
Know the unit already? Book the cleanout online or call (505) 485-4883 and we will price it on the phone.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an apartment cleanout cost in Albuquerque?
Apartment cleanouts are priced by volume, meaning how much room the load takes in our 14-yard truck, not by the hour and not by the item. A full truck load is roughly a one bedroom apartment's worth; a studio, a partial clear, or a handful of leftover pieces cost less. Every load size and its price is listed on our pricing page, and you get an exact quote by phone or on site before we start. The price includes crew labor, hauling, and disposal.
Can you do a same-day apartment cleanout in Albuquerque?
Yes. Same-day apartment cleanouts are available seven days a week, 7:30am to 7:30pm, subject to how the day is already booked. Property managers with an urgent turnover should call as early in the day as possible so we can fit the unit into the route.
Do you work with property managers, or only with tenants?
Both. We clear units for property management companies, individual landlords, and tenants finishing their own move-out. For managers we can run the job with nobody on site and send photo confirmation when the unit is empty.
Do I have to be there for the apartment cleanout?
No. A door code, a lockbox, or a building manager letting us in is enough. We confirm the scope with you by phone first, then send photos of the cleared unit when the job is done so you have proof without making the trip.
Can you clear a third-floor walk-up or a building with no elevator?
Yes. Stairs and walk-ups are routine on apartment cleanouts and the carry is already included in the volume price. There is no stair fee and no long-carry surcharge. Tell us the floor and whether there is elevator access when you call so we bring the right crew size.
How long does an apartment cleanout take?
Most single-unit apartment cleanouts are done in a few hours, start to finish. A lightly furnished studio can be an hour; a fully loaded two bedroom with appliances takes longer. We give you a time window with the quote so you can schedule the turn, the cleaners, and the showing around it.
What will you not take out of an apartment?
We do not haul hazardous materials, chemicals, paint, solvents, asbestos, or biohazard material. Medications and personal documents should be handled separately before we arrive. Everything else in a normal unit, furniture, appliances, electronics, clothing, kitchen contents, and general debris, we take.
Can you invoice a property management company directly?
Yes. We issue an invoice showing the unit address, the date, and the service performed, which is what most management companies need to charge the turnover back or close out the file. Tell us when you book and we will have it ready.
TESTIMONIALS
236 Albuquerque Neighbors Trust Junk Out ABQ
"Bo and JB were on time extremely professional. They removed everything from the house quietly and with great care loaded up quickly and were out within 15 minutes and had a full truckload by the time they were done. I could not have asked for better service care of my property or kindness in removing the items I no longer wanted."
"We needed an old hot tub disposed of and it was behind Stonewall. Justin and Bo came to the rescue. They showed up on time in fact they were a little early. They finished the job in half the time they said that it would take them and they cleaned up remarkably. Everything was fantastic. Will definitely be calling them again."
"We had JunkOutABQ remove a hot tub from our back patio. Scheduling was very easy; submitted the request online and they called me within a few hours and were able to come within two days. They were very prompt and professional. After cutting it up and loading it they cleaned up everything, couldn't even tell they had been there. Also love that they're local and veteran owned! Highly recommend!"
"Had a pile of old carpet, a toilet, and a grill that needed to go. Antonio and Canan came to help and were done in under an hour. Fantastic and friendly service, would 1000% recommend to anyone that needs junk removal!"
"Great experience using JunkOutABQ! I needed help clearing out a family member's home with decades of items. They made the process much easier than I expected. I highly recommend them!"
