What to expect on cleanout day
We've run hundreds of cleanouts across the Lehigh Valley. Here's how the day usually goes.
Step 1
Walk-through estimate
For bigger cleanouts we walk the property with you and quote a flat rate on the spot. Free, no pressure, no commitment.
Step 2
We sort as we go
Anything still useful gets routed to LV-area donation partners. Anything you want set aside, we set aside. Then the rest goes in the truck.
Step 3
We haul, you don't lift
Our crew does the loading. Stairs, narrow doorways, third floors, basements. You can stay out of the way or supervise, up to you.
Step 4
Sweep and walkthrough
We sweep up before we leave and walk you through what was taken. You pay the flat rate we quoted. Nothing extra.
Pricing for basement cleanout in Allentown
Cleanouts vary a lot by home, so we price what you actually have. One flat rate, quoted over the phone for smaller jobs or with a free on-site walkthrough for bigger ones. No hidden fees, no per-piece surprises.
What affects the price
- Volume and density
- Stair access (narrow stairwells, low ceilings limit what comes out as a unit vs. broken down)
- Water damage (heavier loads, wet items)
- Whether shelving and storage systems go too

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you come out?
We schedule most Allentown pickups within 24 to 48 hours, and we run same-day jobs whenever the calendar allows. Call before noon and there is a good chance we can be at your place that afternoon.
How does pricing work?
Pricing is flat-rate by truck-load fraction, not by item or by hour. Smaller basements or partial cleanouts run $400-$600. Full unfinished basements with decades of storage $700-$1,000+. We quote on the phone in about five minutes, so you know the price before we show up, and you never pay more than the quote unless the job grows mid-pickup (and we tell you first).
What do you take, and what won't you take?
We haul almost any non-hazardous household or commercial junk: furniture, appliances, mattresses, construction debris, yard waste, full-house cleanouts. We cannot take liquid paint, motor oil, gasoline, asbestos, or large quantities of medical waste. If you are unsure, just ask on the call.
Do I need to be home for the pickup?
Not always. Plenty of Allentown customers leave the items in the driveway, garage, or on the porch and pay over the phone after we send a photo of the empty space. For inside-the-house jobs we usually need someone to point at what stays and what goes.
What if I am not sure how much stuff there is?
That is normal. Send a couple of photos when you call and we will give you a price range, then confirm the flat rate when we see it in person. No charge for the quote, and no obligation to book.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. The licensed local hauler that handles LV Hauls jobs in Allentown carries general liability and commercial auto insurance. We can email a Certificate of Insurance ahead of any job for property managers, HOAs, landlords, or commercial sites that need one on file.
