Apartment move-out cleanout cost in Kansas City

Apartment move-out cleanouts are one of our top-three weekday job types. Either the renter doesn't want to move 90% of the stuff to the new place, or the landlord is doing the post-tenant cleanout. Here's what it costs in the KC metro right now.

Cost by apartment size

• Studio / 1-bedroom (mostly furniture + boxes): $295–$495
• 2-bedroom (more furniture, mattresses, kitchen items): $395–$695
• 3-bedroom (full household): $525–$895
• Hoarder-condition or extreme accumulation: $695–$1,800+

Walk-up surcharge

Third-floor walk-ups (think Westport, Plaza, Crossroads, parts of Waldo) add 15–25% to the labor for the extra carry. We quote firm on-site after seeing the stairwell.

Common move-out cleanout items

• Mattresses and box springs that won't fit in the new apartment
• IKEA furniture that won't survive disassembly
• Old couches/sectionals
• Kitchen appliances (microwave, toaster oven, etc.)
• Half-used cleaning supplies
• Lampshades, broken blinds, curtain rods
• The mystery box from the back of every closet

Schedule it for after the movers

The smoothest approach is to schedule us for the day after the movers leave — the apartment is empty except for the stuff staying behind, and we can clear it in one trip without working around the movers.

Landlord-paid cleanouts

For landlords and property managers: we invoice net-15 on signed accounts and provide a Certificate of Insurance same-day. We do dozens of tenant-turnover cleanouts each month across the KC metro.
