Will you take the stuff that won't fit on the moving truck?

That's most of this job. Furniture, mattresses, boxes you decided not to bring: if it isn't hazardous and it isn't a liquid, we'll haul it.

Will an end of lease cleanout get my security deposit back?

We can't promise that. Your lease and your landlord decide what counts as clean. What we can do is get the unit empty and swept so you, or a cleaner, can finish the rest.

Can you take the fridge the new place doesn't need?

Yes. Empty the food out first; York County requires that before a refrigerator or freezer is disposed of. Disconnect the washer's water lines and let things drain, since we don't take liquids.

Would your dump trailer work better for a move?

If you're packing over a few weeks and want to toss as you go, our 14-yard dump trailer sits in your driveway while you fill it, and we haul it when you're done. If it's one pile on one day, the cleanout is simpler.

Can you clear the basement and garage too, not just the rooms?

Yes. We come into the basement, attic and garage. Tag what's going in those spaces the same way and include it in your photos.

We Load Everything

Local & Owner-Operated

Owner-operated. William is personally on every job from start to finish.

Every move leaves a pile: the couch that won't fit in the new place, the mattress nobody wants to wrestle down the stairs, the basement shelves, the junk drawer that turned into a junk room. A move out cleanout takes that pile off your list. Point at what's not coming with you and we load it, haul it and sweep up where it sat. It works for renters at the end of a lease, homeowners getting ready to close, and landlords clearing out what a tenant left. Text photos to William for a price, and it's confirmed before we start.

Why the curb won't take your move-out pile

The first instinct is to drag it all to the curb. In York County, trash pickup is handled by the hauler your municipality contracts with, or one you hire yourself in some townships. Their limits are built for a normal week, not a move.^[1][2]

YCSWA's guide for municipal trash contracts suggests weekly limits along the lines of 3 to 4 bags or one 96-gallon tote.^[3]
One hauler's York Township rules allow one large item per week by appointment, refuse anything too heavy for two people to lift, and take no construction debris at the curb.^[4]
York County residents can haul overflow themselves to the Small Load Drop-Off at the Resource Recovery Center, which the county describes as the spot for people with more trash than their hauler will take. A fee applies to trash loads.^[5][6]

Renters, sellers and landlords

Moving out of a rental is common around here. 46.6% of occupied homes in Hanover borough are rented, 54.9% in Dallastown and 57.4% in Middletown.^[7][8][9]

Renters: clear the unit before the final inspection. What counts as clean is up to your lease and your landlord.
Sellers: empty the house before closing so the buyers walk into a blank slate.
Landlords: haul what the last tenant left so the turnover can start.

The old TV can't go in the trash bin

When the old TV or desktop doesn't make the move, it can't go out with the bags either. Pennsylvania's disposal ban on TVs, computers, monitors and peripherals took effect in 2013.^[10][11]

York County residents can recycle electronics for free at the Resource Recovery Center or at the Fairview and Penn Township recycling centers, with a limit of five TVs per visit. In Dauphin County, the county recycling center on S. Cameron Street in Harrisburg takes TVs and computers for free.^[12][13][14]
