Apartment/House Moving Cleanout
A house cleanout empties a whole property – furniture, appliances, closets, attic, garage and everything in between. Pricing runs $50 a cubic yard with a $150 floor, written down and agreed before work starts rather than tallied up afterward. One truckload holds about seven pickup loads, so a fully furnished home usually takes more than one trip. Labor, carry-out from every room, disassembly to clear doorways and disposal fees all sit inside that figure. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal serves St. Petersburg and the surrounding Pinellas County area.

Whole House Cleanouts in St. Petersburg and Pinellas County
A house cleanout is not a bigger version of a junk pickup. It is a project – every room, every closet, the garage, the attic, the shed and the side yard – usually under a deadline set by a closing date, a probate schedule or a new tenant. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal runs these jobs end to end: we sort, carry out, load, sweep and haul away until the property is empty and broom clean.
We work throughout St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Seminole and across Pinellas County. Call 727-240-7033 for a free on-site walkthrough and a firm price for the entire property.
What a full house cleanout includes
- All furniture – beds, sofas, tables, dressers, patio sets
- Appliances – see appliance removal
- Mattresses and box springs from every bedroom
- Closets, dressers and personal belongings left behind
- Kitchen contents – dishes, small appliances, pantry items
- Garage and shed – tools, bikes, lawn equipment, paint, shelving
- Attic storage – see attic cleanouts
- Electronics routed to e-waste recycling
- Yard debris, fencing and outdoor clutter
- Carpet and flooring when the property is being turned over
How We Run a House Cleanout
1. Free on-site walkthrough
House cleanouts cannot be quoted accurately over the phone, so we come out, walk every room including the garage and attic, and give you a single fixed price for the whole property. If you want the price broken into phases – interior first, garage later – we will quote it that way.
2. We agree on what stays
Before anything moves we mark the keep items. Photographs, documents, jewelry boxes, safes, firearms and anything sentimental get set aside in one designated room. On estate jobs we work slowly through the first pass, because things of value turn up inside coat pockets, in freezers and taped under drawers. If we find cash, documents or valuables, they go to you.
3. Room-by-room clearing
Crews work in a fixed order so nothing is missed, staging by category: donate, recycle, scrap, dispose. Floors and doorframes are protected on the carry-out route.
4. Load, sweep, walk-through
When the house is empty we sweep every room, pull our protection and walk the property with you or send photo documentation if you are out of state. That documentation matters for realtors, executors and property managers, and it is included.
5. Donation, recycling and disposal
Usable furniture, housewares, tools, books and clothing go to local charities. Metal goes to scrap recycling, electronics to certified e-waste processing, clean cardboard to cardboard recycling. Only what nobody can use goes to the landfill.
What a House Cleanout Costs in Pinellas County
Pricing is based on volume, access and condition – not square footage and not hours. Two identical three-bedroom homes can be a two-hour job or a two-day job depending on how full they are.
- Partial cleanout – a few rooms, the garage, or a single problem area.
- Standard 2 to 3 bedroom home – typically one to two full truckloads.
- Heavily packed or hoarding conditions – multiple loads over several days. See hoarding cleanouts.
- Large or multi-structure properties – house plus garage plus shed, often best handled with a staged roll-off dumpster plus labor.
The quoted number covers labor, loading, transport, disposal fees and cleanup. There are no hourly surprises and no per-item add-ons. If a dumpster plus a crew is cheaper than pure truck-load pricing for your property, we will tell you.
Things that change the price
- Stairs and second-floor units – included, but they affect volume-per-hour
- Driveway access for the truck versus a long carry
- Hazardous materials – we cannot take paint thinner, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane tanks, motor oil, asbestos or medical waste, and we will tell you exactly where those go
- Biohazard conditions – these require a licensed remediation contractor, not a hauling company, and we will say so plainly
Who Books House Cleanouts
Executors and families settling an estate
Often the hardest version of this job. We move at your pace, keep a designated keep-room, and can work with out-of-state family entirely by phone and photos. See estate cleanouts.
Realtors and sellers
An empty, swept house photographs better and shows better. We schedule around listing dates and photography appointments, and we can be in and out before the sign goes in the yard.
Landlords, property managers and investors
Turnovers, abandoned units and post-eviction clearing with photo documentation. See eviction cleanouts, foreclosure cleanouts and property management services.
Homeowners downsizing
Moving to something smaller means deciding about forty years of belongings. We handle the volume so you can focus on the decisions.
Every crew member is uniformed, background-checked and fully insured. We are locally owned in Pinellas County, so the person who quotes your cleanout is the person running it. Read our reviews or call 727-240-7033 to schedule a free walkthrough.
Where We Provide Moving Cleanout Service: St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa
Most of our moving cleanout service calls come from St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa. We built the routes around those three, then filled in every other city in Pinellas County around them.
St. Petersburg, FL
Everything starts in St. Petersburg for us. moving cleanout service 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. Details on our St. Petersburg coverage.
Clearwater, FL
Clearwater sees a lot of our moving cleanout service 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. More on our Clearwater junk removal 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 moving cleanout service in South Tampa, Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, Bayshore, Seminole Heights, Ybor City, Channelside, Westchase, Carrollwood and Temple Terrace. See the full Tampa service page.
The Rest of Pinellas County
Everywhere else in the county gets the same crews and the same pricing. That covers Largo, Pinellas Park, Seminole, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar, East Lake, Gulfport, Kenneth City, South Pasadena and Tierra Verde, along with every beach town from St. Pete Beach and Treasure Island up through Madeira Beach, Redington Beach, Redington Shores, North Redington Beach, Indian Shores, Indian Rocks Beach and Clearwater Beach. The Belleair municipalities — Belleair, Belleair Beach, Belleair Bluffs and Belleair Shore — are covered, and on the Hillsborough side so are Westchase and Gandy. The Pinellas County page lists it all.
Not sure whether your address is inside the line? Call 727-240-7033 and ask. We would rather tell you honestly that a job is outside our range than take a deposit and cancel on you.
House Cleanout Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house cleanout cost in St. Petersburg?
House cleanouts are priced by volume, access and condition rather than square footage or hours. A partial cleanout of a few rooms costs far less than a fully packed three-bedroom home, which is typically one to two full truckloads. We give you one firm price for the whole property after a free on-site walkthrough. Call 727-240-7033.
How long does a full house cleanout take?
Most standard two to three bedroom homes are cleared in a single day. Heavily packed properties, hoarding conditions or homes with a full garage, shed and attic can take two or more days, and we will tell you the realistic timeline at the walkthrough rather than discovering it halfway through.
Do you sort through everything, or does it all get thrown out?
We sort. Usable furniture, housewares, tools, books and clothing are set aside for donation, metal goes to scrap recycling and electronics go to certified e-waste processing. Only what genuinely cannot be reused or recycled is landfilled.
What if you find something valuable?
It goes to you. On estate and inherited-property jobs we work slowly through the first pass because cash, documents, jewelry and keepsakes turn up in coat pockets, freezers and taped under drawers. Anything we find is set aside in your designated keep-room.
Can you do a house cleanout if I live out of state?
Yes, this is common. We can handle access with a lockbox or through your realtor, keep you updated during the job and send photo documentation of the finished property. Payment and scheduling can all be handled remotely.
Is there anything you cannot take?
Yes. We cannot haul paint thinner, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane tanks, motor oil, asbestos or medical waste, and biohazard conditions require a licensed remediation contractor rather than a hauling company. We will tell you plainly what is out of scope and where it needs to go.
Is a dumpster cheaper than a full-service cleanout?
Sometimes. If you have help and want to work through the property over several days, a roll-off dumpster usually costs less. If you want it done in one visit without lifting anything, a full-service cleanout is the better value. For large properties a staged dumpster plus a crew is often the cheapest combination.
Do you leave the house broom clean?
Yes. When the property is empty we sweep every room, pull our floor protection and walk through with you. If you are not local we send photos of each finished room instead.
Do you work with realtors and property managers?
Constantly. We schedule around listing dates and photography appointments, handle turnovers and post-eviction clearing, and provide photo documentation for your file at no extra charge.
Is moving cleanout service available in Tampa or only in Pinellas County?
Both. Tampa gets the same crews, trucks and pricing structure as our Pinellas work. We book moving cleanout service 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 moving cleanout service?
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.
