A lease ending on Green Valley Road, a showroom clearing out after the High Point Market, a warehouse changing hands off Wendover: commercial cleanouts are bigger, faster and on a deadline. The price comes from a floor plan or a walk of the space, the crew works nights and weekends, and the suite is swept before the landlord's inspection.
Furniture that is still usable is sold on or donated, metal and cardboard go to the recycler, and computers and monitors go to an e-waste recycler that issues a pickup record for your files.

Commercial hauling in the Triad
Greensboro's office parks and High Point's furniture showrooms turn over space every month, and the industrial corridors along I-40 and Highway 68 turn over warehouses. Property managers keep our number for the week between tenants.
Commercial work runs on the lease calendar. A suite off Green Valley Road or on the Wendover corridor has a hand-back date, a walk-through with the landlord, and a deposit riding on the space being empty and broom-clean. The crew quotes from a floor plan or a walk-through, works the evening or the weekend before the hand-back, and the property manager gets photos of the empty suite for the file.
Showrooms after the High Point Market are a different job: sample furniture, display fixtures and packaging in volume, on a deadline set by the next tenant's move-in. Warehouses along I-40 hand over with pallet racking, old inventory and a mezzanine of forgotten stock. Desks and chairs in good condition are offered to resellers and donation partners, metal and cardboard are recycled, and computers, monitors and printers go to an e-waste recycler that gives you a pickup record to show an auditor.
Office, Retail and Commercial Cleanouts pricing in Greensboro
Commercial cleanouts are priced by the load like any other job, and most suites run two to four full truck loads at $625 to $800 each, with a written quote for the whole space after the walk-through. A single office or a small retail unit is often one half or three-quarter load, $375 to $650. What moves the price: freight elevators and loading dock access, which make the job cheaper, and after-hours work, which is scheduled at no premium when it is booked ahead. E-waste handling and resale of usable furniture can bring the total down.

Office, Retail and Commercial Cleanouts questions, answered
Can you clear an office after hours so we do not have to close?
Yes. Evenings and weekends are the normal schedule for commercial work, arranged around the building's access hours and the freight elevator. The crew needs a contact with keys or a code, a floor plan or a walk-through beforehand, and a list of anything that stays. The suite is left broom-clean and photographed, so the hand-back walk-through with the landlord is a formality.
What happens to office furniture and computers?
Desks, chairs, filing cabinets and cubicle panels in good condition are offered to resellers and donation partners first, which can reduce the total. Metal shelving and cardboard are recycled. Computers, monitors, printers and phones go to an e-waste recycler, and you get a record of the pickup for your files. Hard drives can be set aside for your IT team or destroyed with the rest, whichever your policy requires.
How much does a commercial cleanout cost in Greensboro?
Most suites and small retail units run one to four truck loads at $375 to $800 per load, with a written quote for the whole job after a walk-through or a floor plan review. Showrooms and warehouses are quoted the same way, by the number of loads, with a loading dock making each load cheaper. The written number is what the invoice says unless the scope changes, and resale of usable furniture is credited against it.
