Storage unit cleanout checklist before move-out

Before a storage unit is cleared, check the facility rules and decide what leaves with you. Gate access and the distance to the loading area can change the job.

Household items organized for a cleanout

Check the facility window

Confirm access hours, gate codes and whether vehicles can stop near the unit. Ask the facility about any move-out requirements.

Pull out what stays

Keep personal records and valuables with you. Mark furniture and boxes to remove so no one has to guess.

Describe the loading path

Note unit size, how full it is, stairs or lifts, and the walking distance to the truck.
