Warehouse and office cleanouts in Charlotte

Clearing out a warehouse, an office or a shop at the end of a lease? 704 Junk is a referral service. We pass your request to one independent local hauling partner, who looks at the job, sets the price and does the work. Your hauler confirms the final price on-site after reviewing the items, before anything is loaded.

No obligation. Send photos and your deadline, and we'll text back.

What a commercial cleanout covers

A commercial cleanout is everything that has to leave a business space before you hand back the keys, start a remodel or move everyone across town.

We take requests for commercial junk removal: Charlotte warehouses, offices, shops and storage spaces. Think old desks, filing cabinets, shelving, broken pallets, break-room appliances and whatever has collected in the back corner.

Your hauler does the lifting and loading. You point at what goes, and anything you've tagged to keep stays put.

Clearing a home, or mostly furniture? These pages fit better.

Business loads and the county

If you're planning a warehouse cleanout, Charlotte's county drop-off centers treat a business load differently from a household one.

Mecklenburg County on who pays at the fee booth. The county's facilities page states: “If you have more than 5 bags, or if you are a commercial entity, you will need to go to the fee booth to be charged.” Source: Mecklenburg County Solid Waste — Facilities (wipeoutwaste.mecknc.gov). Checked October 2026.

In plain words: a business load goes through the fee booth and gets charged.

Mecklenburg County on Saturdays. The same page states that “business/non-residential loads and dump trailers will no longer be allowed to drop off on Saturdays.” Source: Mecklenburg County Solid Waste — Facilities (wipeoutwaste.mecknc.gov). Checked October 2026.

In plain words: a Saturday run to those centers with a business load won't work.

Items with their own rules: computers, pallets, light tubes

Business spaces tend to hold three kinds of things with rules of their own.

North Carolina on computers and TVs. The state's environmental agency states: “Effective July 1, 2011, North Carolina has banned the disposal of computer equipment and televisions.” Source: North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality — Electronics recycling for businesses (deq.nc.gov). Checked October 2026.

In plain words: old computers, monitors and TVs can't just go in the trash. Count them, list them in your request, and ask your hauler how they handle electronics.

North Carolina law on wooden pallets. The state's list of wastes kept out of landfills, G.S. 130A-309.10, includes: “Wooden pallets, except that wooden pallets may be disposed of in a landfill that is permitted to only accept construction and demolition debris.” Source: North Carolina General Assembly — G.S. 130A-309.10 (ncleg.gov). Checked October 2026.

In plain words: a stack of broken pallets can't go to just any landfill. Say how many you have and ask your hauler where they'll go.

Mecklenburg County on business hazardous waste. The county's business hazardous waste page states: “The centers cannot accept hazardous waste generated by any business, school, company or church.” Source: Mecklenburg County Solid Waste — Business Hazardous Waste Disposal (wipeoutwaste.mecknc.gov). Checked October 2026.

In plain words: the county's hazardous waste drop-off isn't for business waste. List anything you think might be hazardous, such as leftover chemicals, old light tubes or unlabeled containers, separately. Ask your hauler what they can take.

Wondering where a load goes after it leaves your building?

Warehouse or office: what changes

A warehouse and an office empty out in different ways. Tell us which one you have and a little about the building.

For an office cleanout, Charlotte buildings each set their own rules for the dock, the elevator and the hours. Ask your building manager and pass along what they tell you.

How the quote works

Commercial jobs are priced per job, after your hauler sees what's there. There's no rate card for a warehouse, because no two spaces hold the same things.

  1. Send photos of each area, or ask for a walkthrough before the quote.
  2. We text back, pass your request to your hauler, and line up a time that works for you.
  3. Your hauler confirms the final price on-site after reviewing the items, before anything is loaded.

Need the bill to go to the company? Ask for invoicing to the business in your request, and your hauler can tell you how they handle it.

Getting the space ready

A little prep makes the day go smoothly.

Warehouse and office cleanout questions

Can a business use the county drop-off centers?

Yes, with conditions. The county's Wipe Out Waste site says a commercial entity has to go to the fee booth to be charged, and business loads can't be dropped off on Saturdays. Hazardous waste from a business isn't accepted at the centers at all. Or send us a request and your hauler takes it from there.

What do we do with old computers and monitors?

Keep them out of the trash. North Carolina banned the disposal of computer equipment and televisions in 2011, according to the state's environmental agency. Count them, list them in your request with any TVs, and ask your hauler how they handle electronics before the day of the job.

Can someone do the work after hours or on a weekend?

Tell us your window and we'll ask your hauler. Some buildings only allow move-outs before opening, after closing or on a weekend, and your hauler is the one who says yes or no. Put the days, times and building rules in your request, and we'll text back once we've heard.

Do you need a certificate of insurance?

If your building or landlord asks for one, say so in your request. We're a referral service, so that paperwork comes from your hauler, not from us. Your hauler can tell you what they carry, and you confirm before anything is scheduled.

Ready to clear the space?

Text photos of the space and tell us when it needs to be empty. We'll text back and line up your hauler.
