Storage facilities are designed for putting things in, not getting them out — narrow hallways, elevator-only access, carts you have to fight for. We've cleared 84 storage units in the last 24 months at facilities all over Chicago and the suburbs, and we know the drill: we bring our own carts, we work fast inside the access hours, and we take everything that isn't marked to keep.
It's also a common job for people handling a parent's estate, or an executor working from out of state — many facilities will let us in with your written authorization and the gate code, so you don't have to fly in for it. Metal, wood and cardboard are separated for recycling; appliances and electronics go to a local recycler; anything that can be re-homed instead of landfilled, is.

Crew quotes at the door
They look in, quote one price for the whole unit, and — if you're not there — text it to you for a yes before anything moves.

We clear it
Our carts, our labor. Set aside a keep pile or take those items in your car; we load the rest.
