Basement & Estate Cleanouts in the Museum District
Behind Cary Street, the Museum District’s rowhouses and duplexes keep decades of storage below and above: a basement under the whole house, an attic reached by pull-down stairs. We clear both — a quarter truck is $241 — and load from the alley or the porch.
Behind Richmond’s Movie Palace
Carytown’s strip is anchored by the Byrd Theatre, which opened on December 24, 1928, is known as “Richmond’s Movie Palace,” and still has its Wurlitzer organ played on Saturday nights.
The blocks behind it hold 1910s–30s rowhouses and duplexes, many of them held by established owners. That’s where basement and attic cleanouts come from — before a sale, after a parent moves, or when new owners inherit the last owner’s leftovers.

Up From the Basement
Low Ceilings, Tight Stairs
Crews expect old basement stairs and plan the carry before bringing anything up.
Alley or Porch Loading
Where a rear alley reaches the house, the truck loads there; otherwise from the front with minimal street time.
Museum District Cleanout FAQs
How much does a basement cleanout cost in the Museum District?
A basement corner usually fills a quarter truck: $241; a packed full basement closer to half, $431.
Will you take old paint cans?
Yes. A one-gallon can is $30. The City’s bulk program won’t collect paint.
Can you clear the attic too?
Yes. Attic and basement go on one quote and one visit.
We just bought the house — can you clear what the sellers left?
Yes. That’s a common Museum District job; photos of what’s left give the price.
Basement Full?
Photos of the basement and attic — flat price back fast.
