Phoenix apartment work covers more ground than anywhere else we operate. A downtown or midtown high-rise means a service elevator, a booked loading dock and a certificate of insurance on file. A complex off Bell, Indian School or Baseline is more likely to be an exterior stair, a shared breezeway and a parking spot you cannot block for long. We plan the route before the truck leaves, not after it arrives.
Most of our volume here is property-management turnovers. A tenant leaves and the unit still has a couch, a mattress, a broken TV and a closet nobody emptied. That unit cannot be shown until it is clear, so we clear it and sweep it, often the same day the call comes in. If you manage several properties, send the addresses together and we will route them into one visit rather than four.
We take furniture, mattresses, abandoned appliances, electronics, boxes, patio and balcony items and storage-locker contents. Anything except toxic chemicals and hazardous material. For a whole house rather than a unit see Phoenix home cleanouts, and for an office or storefront see commercial cleanouts.

Apartment cleanouts in Phoenix: the four-a-year bulk appointments or Haulo?
The City of Phoenix gives residential customers four bulk trash collection opportunities a year, booked by appointment online or by phone. One pile up to 10 cubic yards sits within 5 feet of the curb, out by 5:30 a.m. on the appointment date and no more than 7 days ahead.
Phoenix’s program is for residential customers on city trash service with a pile at the curb, up to 10 cubic yards within 5 ft of the curb; many apartment and condo communities are on private dumpster service instead, and nothing upstairs qualifies. Haulo works the elevator, the stairs and the loading rules, and clears the unit in one visit, with no waiting for the next appointment, which can be weeks out.
Haulo is in Phoenix every day, with same-day service for texts before 7 p.m., every neighborhood included, with no waiting for the next appointment, which can be weeks out.

Good to know
Questions, answered.
How much does an apartment cleanout cost in Phoenix?
The contents, load size, stairs or elevator access, and distance to loading affect the estimate. Share those details and the included areas so we can price the actual cleanout.
How soon can Haulo get to Phoenix?
Same-day appointments are available in Phoenix. Call or text to confirm the current schedule, route, and truck capacity for your pickup.
Do I have to drag everything to the curb first?
Never. Leave it exactly where it sits — garage, attic, back bedroom, side yard. Our Phoenix crew does all the carrying and loading, then sweeps up before we head out.
What happens to my stuff after apartment cleanouts in Phoenix?
Item handling depends on the load, item condition, and the options available at pickup time. Ask us about handling options for reusable, recyclable, electronic, or specialty items when you book.
Can I use Phoenix bulk trash instead of Haulo for apartment cleanouts?
Yes, when it fits the rules: four appointments a year; out by 5:30 a.m. on the date, up to 10 cubic yards within 5 ft of the curb, and nothing on the refused list (household hazardous waste, tires, glass, appliances with refrigerant, construction material, concrete and trunks over 4 feet). If it can wait for the next appointment, which can be weeks out and you can get it to the curb, the city is the cheaper choice and we will say so. Haulo is for what does not fit: items still inside, more than up to 10 cubic yards within 5 ft of the curb, refused materials, or a date that cannot wait for the next appointment, which can be weeks out.
What does Phoenix bulk trash refuse that Haulo will take?
Phoenix refuses household hazardous waste, tires, glass, appliances with refrigerant, construction material, concrete and trunks over 4 feet. Of those, Haulo takes refrigerant appliances, construction material, concrete and trunks over 4 feet, along with apartment and condo loads and oversized single items. Tires and household hazardous waste stay off our trailer too; the what-we-cannot-take guide lists where they go.
