Toss It helps landlords and property managers remove abandoned furniture, appliances, trash, and outdoor debris so rental properties can move quickly into repairs, cleaning, photography, and re-leasing. We handle post-eviction cleanouts only — after the eviction is complete and the tenant has vacated. We do not enter occupied units.

Post-eviction cleanouts — when we come in

To be direct about scope: Toss It's rental cleanout service is a post-eviction, post-turnover service. We arrive after the tenant is out and the property is legally under the owner's or manager's control. That means:

The eviction (if any) is fully complete and the tenant is no longer on the property
You (or your manager) have possession and can grant us access
The unit is no longer occupied — no one is living, sleeping, or storing personal effects there
Any legal holds on property have been resolved

This keeps every party — you, us, and the former tenant — clear on scope and consistent with Alabama landlord-tenant procedures.

What a Toss It rental turnover cleanout includes

Abandoned furniture, mattresses, and household goods
Refrigerators, freezers, ranges, washers, and dryers
Interior trash, food waste, and bulk debris
Garage, porch, patio, and yard debris
Grills, tires, playsets, and outdoor furniture
Photo documentation before and after
Broom-clean handoff to your cleaning or repair crew

Working with maintenance and cleaning crews

We're the first crew in after possession. That means we clear the unit so your maintenance team can assess repairs on empty rooms, and your cleaning crew can walk into a broom-clean unit — not a landfill. When timing matters, we coordinate our arrival directly with your other vendors.

Multi-unit and recurring property-manager service

Larger portfolios in Auburn and Opelika benefit from a standing arrangement. We can:

Set net-terms invoicing tied to your accounting cycle
Provide standard photo-documentation packages for every unit
Schedule recurring monthly or quarterly turnover slots
Assign a primary contact so you don't retrain a new person every call

What property managers should document before removal

Full unit walkthrough photos (dated)
Any abandoned-property notice required by Alabama law and your lease
Written authorization to remove and dispose of property
Billing contact and PO or work-order number
Any items to preserve (leases sometimes require holding specific items for a period)

Frequently Asked Questions

+Do you go into an occupied unit during an active eviction?

No. Toss It only handles post-eviction cleanouts — after the eviction is complete, the tenant has vacated, and the unit is no longer occupied. We do not enter units with tenants still present or during any active legal process.

+How fast can you clear a rental unit for turnover?

In most of Lee County we can be on-site within 24–72 hours of a call. A typical single-family or apartment turnover cleanout finishes in a single day so the unit can move directly into cleaning and repair.

+Do you provide photo documentation?

Yes. We photograph the unit condition before we start and after broom-clean is complete. Photos are texted or emailed to the property manager the same day for records and insurance.

+Can you invoice the property management company directly?

Yes. We work with individual landlords and property management companies on net-terms invoicing, purchase orders, and recurring service agreements. Give us the billing contact at booking.

+What if the tenant left an operational refrigerator or full appliances?

Refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, and ranges are removed and disposed of properly (including refrigerant recovery where required). Add-on per-item pricing is included in your quote upfront.

+Do you handle exterior debris — yard, porch, driveway?

Yes. Turnover cleanouts frequently include tenant-abandoned yard debris, porch furniture, grills, and driveway items in addition to interior contents.

+Do you serve landlords outside Auburn and Opelika?

Yes. We serve rentals throughout Lee County — Auburn, Opelika, Beauregard, Notasulga, Smiths Station — plus Phenix City, Valley, and the Lake Martin communities.
