Chicopee is a renting city and always has been. The housing went up around the mills, three deckers and multi family blocks, and most of it has no elevator and a staircase that turns at the landing.

That is the whole shape of this job. The contents of a two bedroom apartment are not remarkable. Getting them down three flights of a 1905 staircase with a turn in it is what you are actually paying for.

Expect $400 to $1,200 for a full apartment. A studio or a small one bedroom comes in below that, a packed three bedroom above it. Floor level moves the number more than square footage does, which surprises people.

Say which floor on the first call

First floor with a door onto the street is straightforward. Second floor is ordinary. Third floor with a narrow turning staircase changes the crew size and the time, and a quote given without that information will not survive the arrival. It is the single most useful sentence you can say on the phone.

Ranges around Chicopee, not quotations. Whoever is standing in front of the pile sets the real price, and stairs, weight and access all shift it.

Parking is a real constraint here

Streets in Chicopee Center, Cabotville and Willimansett are narrow, parked solid on both sides, and were laid out for far fewer cars than live on them now. A truck that has to stop a hundred feet from the door adds a walk to every single trip.

If you have a driveway, a rear lot or an alley, say so. If the building has a back door onto a yard, that is often better than the front. Winter makes it worse, because snow banks eat the only spots that would have worked.

Some buildings also want notice for a move out, or restrict which hours a truck can be at the door. Check with the landlord before booking rather than after.

What comes out of an apartment

A sofa that will not go back down the stairs it came up. A mattress, which carries a fee. A television. Kitchen contents. Bags of clothing, which have to go to textile recycling under the state ban. Often a window air conditioner, which holds refrigerant and needs recovery the same as a fridge. Tenants leave more behind than owners do, because the alternative is carrying it down themselves.

How Apartment Cleanout Actually Goes

1
The call

Floor and staircase

Which floor, elevator or not, and whether the stairs turn. That is the quote.

2
Before the day

Check with the landlord

Some buildings want notice or limit the hours a truck can sit at the door.

3
Arrival

Route walked, then priced

They look at the stairs and the parking before the contents. That is the right order.

4
2 to 5 hours

Carried down and loaded

Sorted as it goes. Anything usable set aside for donation.

5
Before they go

Swept

Left ready for the next tenant or for paint.

What Can Delay It

  • A third floor turning staircase nobody mentioned
  • Nowhere to park within reach of the door
  • A sofa that has to be cut apart to come down
  • A cellar storage bin that was not part of the quote

What Speeds It Up

  • Saying the floor and the staircase up front
  • Reserving a spot out front, or clearing the driveway
  • Photos of the stairs, which nobody thinks to send

Apartment Cleanout Questions

What does an apartment cleanout cost?

Usually $400 to $1,200 for a full unit. Studios and small one bedrooms come in under that, packed three bedrooms above. The biggest single factor is which floor it is on, not how big it is, because the whole job is carried down by hand in most of this housing.

Why does the floor matter so much?

+
Because there is no elevator in most of it. Chicopee's rental stock is three deckers and multi family blocks put up between 1880 and 1930, and the staircases are narrow and usually turn at the landing. A third floor apartment can take twice as long as the same contents on the ground floor.

My sofa will not fit down the stairs. Now what?

+
It gets taken apart. Most sofas can be cut down through the frame and brought out in pieces, which is a normal part of this work. Say so when you book, because it adds time and occasionally a second person.

Where will the truck park?

+
That is worth thinking about before the day. Streets in Chicopee Center, Cabotville and Willimansett are narrow and parked solid, and a truck stopping a hundred feet away adds a walk to every trip. A driveway, a rear lot or a back door onto a yard all help.

Do I need to tell my landlord?

+
Check, because some buildings do want notice for a move out or limit when a truck can be at the door. It takes one message and it prevents the crew arriving to find they cannot work. Landlords also often want the unit swept, which is included anyway.

What about the window air conditioner?

+
It holds refrigerant, so federal law requires a certified technician to recover it before the shell is scrapped, the same as a refrigerator. Budget $25 to $50. Almost every apartment here has at least one, and people rarely think to mention them.

Will they take the clothes?

+
Yes, to textile recycling. Massachusetts shut clothing, shoes, bedding, towels and curtains out of disposal on 1 November 2022 under 310 CMR 19.017. Worn and stained items are accepted, so there is no need to sort out what is wearable.

How long does it take?

+
Two to five hours for most apartments. A ground floor unit at the fast end, a packed third floor at the slow end. If you need it inside a specific window because a new tenant is moving in, say the time when you book rather than on the day.
