Apartment Services

Apartment services cover move-out cleanouts, abandoned furniture and single heavy items from units where the stairwell, elevator and loading dock set the pace. Large pieces come apart to clear a unit door or an elevator car, and that disassembly sits inside the quote. Cost works out at $50 per cubic yard of space used, subject to a $150 minimum, and it is quoted flat before the crew begins. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal serves St. Petersburg and the surrounding Pinellas County area.

Apartment Junk Removal Service

Book the service elevator with the building before the day, because that is the usual bottleneck rather than the volume. Large pieces come apart to clear a unit door or an elevator car. If this is a tenant turnover, tell us what has to be kept for the landlord and it is set aside instead of loaded. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal covers St. Petersburg and the rest of Pinellas County.

Apartment Cleanouts and Move-Out Junk Removal in St. Petersburg

Apartment jobs are all about access. Third floor, no elevator, a stairwell with two tight turns, a fifteen-minute loading zone and a leasing office that wants the unit ready by Friday. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal does this every week. We carry everything down, protect the common areas, load and haul it away, and we do it without blocking the drive aisle or annoying the property manager.

We work with residents and communities across St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo and all of Pinellas County. Call 727-240-7033.

Built for Multifamily Properties

Stairs and elevators are included

We do not charge stair fees. A fourth-floor walk-up costs the same per volume as a ground-floor unit. Crews carry door jamb protection, floor runners and moving blankets and use them in the hallways and elevator, because scuffed common areas are exactly what a property manager will remember.

We work within community rules

Tell us the property and we will handle it correctly: gate codes, loading zone limits, elevator reservations, quiet hours, dumpster restrictions and the rule that almost every community has about not leaving anything beside the compactor. We are fully insured and can provide a certificate of insurance naming the property.

Turnovers on a deadline

A unit that is not cleared is a unit that is not leased. We schedule around move-out and move-in dates, can clear a unit the same day it is vacated, and send photo documentation of the empty unit for your file – useful when a deposit deduction is going to be disputed.

Residents moving out

If you are the tenant, the maths is simple: most leases let the landlord charge you for removing anything left behind, at their contractor’s rate, deducted from your deposit. Having it hauled yourself is nearly always cheaper, and it happens on your schedule instead of theirs.

Pricing, Bulk Work and Property Accounts

Apartment jobs are priced by volume, the same as any other pickup.

Single item – a couch or mattress that will not fit in the moving truck. See single item pickup.
Quarter to half load – a typical move-out leftover pile
Full load – a furnished one or two bedroom unit cleared completely
Multiple units – priced per unit, with volume rates for communities
Roll-off dumpster – for renovations and large turn projects. See dumpster rental.

The price includes labor, stairs, elevator time, loading, hauling and disposal fees. Nothing is added afterwards.

Property management accounts

We set up ongoing accounts for apartment communities, condo associations and management companies: consistent pricing, priority scheduling, one point of contact and monthly invoicing rather than per-job payment. See property management services and HOA services.

Donation first

Move-outs generate a lot of perfectly good furniture. Usable pieces go to local charities, metal to scrap recycling, electronics to certified e-waste. Only the rest is landfilled.

Locally owned, fully insured, uniformed and background-checked crews, firm pricing before we lift. Call 727-240-7033 or book online.

Where We Provide Apartment Junk Removal: St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa

We run apartment junk removal hardest in St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa, because that is where the crews already are. The rest of Pinellas County is not an afterthought either — we are on those roads every single day.

St. Petersburg, FL

Everything starts in St. Petersburg for us. apartment junk removal across Shore Acres, Venetian Isles, Coquina Key, Allendale, Disston Heights and Pinellas Point is routine work. Post-flood cleanouts on the low-lying streets are a big part of what we do, and we handle those with the hauling limits spelled out up front rather than after the truck is loaded. See the full St. Petersburg service page.

Clearwater, FL

Clearwater sees a lot of our apartment junk removal volume, especially around snowbird turnover in spring and fall. We cover Clearwater Beach, Island Estates, Belleair-adjacent streets, Countryside and the US-19 corridor. Seasonal-rental turnovers are booked in tight windows, and we hit them. Details on our Clearwater coverage.

Tampa, FL

Tampa is a full part of our service area, not an edge case. We cross the Howard Frankland, Gandy and Courtney Campbell daily for apartment junk removal in South Tampa, Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, Bayshore, Seminole Heights, Ybor City, Channelside, Westchase, Carrollwood and Temple Terrace. More on our Tampa junk removal coverage.

North county is Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar and East Lake. The barrier islands are St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores, Redington Beach, Redington Shores, North Redington Beach, Clearwater Beach and Tierra Verde.

Apartment Cleanout Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an apartment cleanout cost?

Apartment jobs are priced by volume. A single leftover couch or mattress is a flat rate, a typical move-out pile is a quarter to half truckload, and a fully furnished one or two bedroom unit is usually a full load. The price includes labor, stairs, elevator time, hauling and disposal fees.

Do you charge extra for stairs or a third-floor unit?

No. There are no stair fees. A fourth-floor walk-up is priced by volume exactly like a ground-floor unit. Our crews bring door jamb protection and floor runners for the hallways and elevator.

Can you provide a certificate of insurance for my community?

Yes. We are fully insured and can provide a certificate naming the property or management company, which most communities require before allowing a contractor to work on site.

Can you clear a unit the same day the tenant moves out?

Usually yes. Turnovers are one of the main things we do, and a unit that is not cleared is a unit that is not leased. Tell us the move-out date and we will schedule around it.

Do you provide photos of the cleared unit?

Yes, at no extra charge. Photo documentation of the empty unit is included and is often exactly what you need on file when a deposit deduction is going to be disputed.

I am the tenant. Should I just leave things behind?

It is almost always more expensive. Most leases allow the landlord to remove anything left behind at their contractor’s rate and deduct it from your deposit. Hiring the haul yourself is usually cheaper and happens on your schedule.

Do you work within community rules, gate codes and quiet hours?

Yes. Tell us the property and we will handle gate codes, loading zone limits, elevator reservations, quiet hours and dumpster restrictions. We never leave anything beside the compactor.

Do you set up accounts for apartment communities?

Yes. Management companies, condo associations and apartment communities can set up ongoing accounts with consistent pricing, priority scheduling, a single point of contact and monthly invoicing instead of paying per job.

What happens to furniture from move-outs?

Move-outs produce a lot of perfectly usable furniture, so donation comes first. Metal goes to scrap recycling and electronics go to certified e-waste processing. Only what nobody can use is landfilled.

Is apartment junk removal available in Tampa or only in Pinellas County?

Both. Tampa gets the same crews, trucks and pricing structure as our Pinellas work. We book apartment junk removal in Downtown Tampa, Water Street, Harbour Island, Davis Islands, Bayshore, Beach Park, Old Seminole Heights, Tampa Heights, Town & Country and Brandon. Because Tampa sits in Hillsborough County, disposal runs through Hillsborough facilities, so we quote Tampa jobs with that tipping cost included rather than surprising you later.

Do you cover Clearwater Beach and the condo towers for apartment junk removal?

Yes, and we do it constantly. Clearwater Beach, Sand Key and Island Estates buildings almost always require an elevator reservation, a certificate of insurance naming the association, and a set haul window. We carry current insurance and file the COI before the truck leaves. Mainland Clearwater — Countryside, Northwood, Del Oro Groves, Downtown Cleveland Street — is simpler and usually books faster.

What other Pinellas County cities do you cover?

Effectively all of them. Mid-county we run Largo, Pinellas Park and Seminole. North county is Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar and East Lake. The barrier islands run St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Redington Beach, Redington Shores, North Redington Beach, Indian Shores, Indian Rocks Beach and Clearwater Beach. Smaller municipalities like Gulfport, Kenneth City, South Pasadena, Tierra Verde and the four Belleair towns are covered too.
