Apartment living built Chicago's storage habit: the overflow unit rented "for now" during a move — still billing monthly, years later, for boxes nobody has visited. Clearing it is a flat price by unit size, one visit: 5×10 for $360, 10×10 for $531, swept to bare walls, lock handed back the same day.

Loading from the roll-up door, donation sorting, disposal and the sweep included. Partial clears price per item or pile instead — the photo decides which math wins.
Chicago-market storage runs roughly $100–$300 a month by size and climate control. Against that, the $360 clear of a 5×10 pays for itself in a few months — every month after is savings. The trap is structural: the apartment that caused the overflow never got bigger, the auto-pay never got visible, and "after the next move" became three moves ago. If the contents were worth the rent, you'd have visited them.
Roll it up, take the shot. Flat quote by unit size in seconds.
Pull keepsakes first, or arrange access via the office — either works.
Under an hour for most units — cancel before the next billing date.
Auction winners: same pricing, faster clock — pull the sellables, we clear the remainder inside the facility deadline.
A storage unit is the only junk pile that invoices you monthly for ignoring it. One photo, one flat number, one visit — and the auto-pay stops.
Flat by unit size: 5×5 $205, 5×10 $360, 5×15 $490, 10×10 $531, 10×15 $1,075, 10×20 $1,435, up to 10×30 at $2,145 — the whole unit cleared to bare walls in one visit, loading and disposal included. Clearing only part of the unit? Per-item and pile pricing may be cheaper; the photo through the roll-up door decides.
Run the Chicago math: apartment living pushes overflow into storage, units run roughly $100–$300 a month depending on size and climate control, and the auto-pay makes the charge invisible. A $360 clear of a 5×10 pays for itself in a few months of rent you stop paying — and if the contents were worth the rent, you'd have visited them. The unit we clear most often has been 'temporary' since a lease two apartments ago.
You meet the crew or arrange access with the office (gate code, unit number), we load straight from the roll-up door, sort donation-grade items at the truck, sweep the unit, and you hand back the lock the same day — most units clear in under an hour, often fast enough to cancel before the next billing date.
Same flat per-size pricing, faster clock — auction terms typically give buyers days to empty the unit. Pull what you're selling, photo the remainder, and we clear it inside the facility's deadline. We don't appraise contents; the treasure hunt is yours, the endgame is ours.
