Apartment Cleanout · Uptown & Whittier
Apartment Cleanout in Uptown
Uptown’s 1910s and ’20s buildings were built before elevators were standard, and parking out front is rare. Moving out means a sofa down three flights and a truck that has to find the alley. We handle both. A sofa is $126, and a furnished two-bedroom usually fits in half a truck at $431.
Hennepin & Lake to Eat Street
Uptown runs from the corner of Hennepin and Lake toward Bde Maka Ska, and Whittier sits just east along Nicollet Avenue’s “Eat Street.” Both are dense blocks of old apartment buildings and walk-ups, mostly rented by young people and students.
Turnover is constant, roommates split on different dates, and the only practical loading spot is usually the alley behind the building.

Walk-Up Logistics
Three Flights Down
Narrow stairwells with turns at every landing. Sofa legs come off, bed frames come apart, and railings get padded.
Alley Loading
The truck pulls into the alley behind your building instead of double-parking on Hennepin, so the carry is short and nobody gets ticketed.
Uptown Apartment FAQs
Can you move things down from a third-floor walk-up?
Yes, and the stairs don’t change the price. Tell us the floor when you book.
Where will the truck park in Uptown?
Usually in the alley behind your building. If your block has no alley access, let us know and we’ll plan around street parking rules.
Will the city take my old furniture?
Only if your building has four or fewer units and you’re a City garbage customer. Larger apartment buildings aren’t part of the program.
What does a two-bedroom cleanout cost?
A furnished two-bedroom usually fits in half a truck, $431, before the 9.75% SWM tax. Photos give you the exact number.
