RiNo
Commercial Junk Removal in
RiNo
River North (80205 / 80216) is Denver's arts-and-brewery engine — galleries, maker studios, tap rooms, restaurants and creative offices packed into old warehouses and new lofts. When a show comes down, a lease turns, or a kitchen gets stripped out, we clear it: gallery deinstalls, brewery and restaurant FF&E, studio and warehouse turnover, dead inventory and e-waste, on a flat truck-fill price from $241. Scheduled after-hours and weekends around the event traffic, COI handled. No Colorado sales tax on the service.
How a RiNo clear-out works
1 · Send photos
Photograph the gallery, the bar, the studio, or the office you're clearing. You get an exact flat commercial price back in seconds — by item or as a truck-fill for the whole space.
2 · Pick a quiet window
Early morning, after close, or a weekend — we work around your events, tap-room hours and the Larimer/Walnut crowds. Loft building needs a COI and freight-elevator slot? We book it.
3 · We clear & divert
A licensed crew strips the space, tarps the load, and routes reusable furniture, fixtures and inventory to donation or resale, with e-waste sent to an e-cycler. You're ready to reset or hand back the keys.
The RiNo job: creative, commercial, and on a clock
RiNo grew out of a former industrial and warehouse district into Denver's dense hub of galleries, breweries, restaurants, maker studios and creative offices along Larimer, Walnut and Blake. That mix creates a very specific kind of removal work — not household move-outs, but business turnover. A gallery deinstalls between shows and needs the crates, pedestals and spent build material gone before the next opening. A brewery or restaurant changes concept or closes and has a full FF&E strip-out — bar tops, tanks, walk-in shelving, tables, chairs and dead inventory. A studio or warehouse tenant vacates and leaves racking, workbenches and leftover stock. And a creative office downsizes into desks, cubicles, conference tables and a pile of old monitors.
What ties it together is timing. RiNo is busy at exactly the hours a clear-out would get in the way, so we schedule around it — early mornings, after close, and weekends — and keep the truck off the packed blocks during events. The newer creative-loft mid-rises add the same building mechanics you'd see downtown, so where a COI and a reserved freight elevator are required, we handle that too. It all prices flat from photos, with no Colorado sales tax on the service.
How much does a commercial clear-out cost in RiNo?
Flat and photo-quoted. A full space prices as truck-fill; individual commercial pieces have set prices. Disposal, the after-hours window and the tarp discipline are all in the number.
| Job | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Minimum job (a small pull) | $75 |
| Office chair | $61 |
| Filing cabinet (large) | $75 |
| Commercial copier | $97 |
| Cubicle | $163 |
| Conference table | $260 |
| Clear-out — truck-fill (1/4) | $241 |
| Truck-fill (1/2) | $431 |
| Warehouse / full FF&E — truck-fill (full) | $732 |
$75 minimum. Disposal included; every load tarped. A big warehouse or full FF&E strip runs multiple trucks — we quote the whole job flat up front. No Colorado sales tax on the service.
For context, national cost guides put a full commercial truckload in the $550–$900 range, and traditional haulers price by volume and often confirm only on site. We quote flat from your photos before we roll, with the after-hours window and building coordination already included.

Does Denver pick up commercial junk?
No — the city's free program is residential only. The City & County of Denver's Large Item Pickup (booked through Denver 311 · 720-913-1311) serves single-family trash customers at the curb: once every nine weeks, five large items, and it excludes appliances, electronics and tires. Commercial properties in RiNo aren't on that route at all — a gallery, brewery or office arranges its own private hauling — and a business turnover generates exactly the categories the city won't take: refrigeration, restaurant equipment, electronics and bulk FF&E. That's the whole reason a commercial hauler exists here. We take the FF&E, the e-waste (Colorado bans TVs, monitors and computers from the landfill), and the dead inventory, tarp it, and haul it to the Denver-Arapahoe Disposal Site and metro transfer stations on a schedule that fits your operating hours.
What we clear for RiNo businesses
- Gallery & studio deinstalls — crates, pedestals, spent build material, packaging, old display fixtures between shows.
- Brewery & restaurant FF&E — bar tops, tanks, walk-in shelving, tables, chairs, line equipment, coolers and dead stock.
- Creative-office turnover — desks, cubicles, conference tables, filing cabinets and chairs.
- Studio & warehouse cleanouts — racking, workbenches, leftover materials and pallets.
- Dead inventory & e-waste — unsold stock, monitors, desktops, printers and old TVs, diverted properly.
What happens to it after we clear it
A creative district throws off a lot that still has value, so we divert first. Usable furniture, fixtures and equipment are routed to donation or resale — Goodwill of Colorado, ARC Thrift Stores, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, or a secondhand-equipment buyer for viable restaurant and brewery gear — with a donation receipt on request. Electronics are sent to an e-cycler because Colorado law bans TVs, monitors and computers from the landfill. What's genuinely spent is disposed responsibly at the Denver-Arapahoe Disposal Site, every load tarped so your bill never picks up the doubled uncovered-load fee. As a licensed Denver waste hauler we keep the disposal receipts, which is handy if your business is tracking its waste.
Beyond RiNo: Baker & South Broadway storefronts
The same commercial lane runs a few minutes south along South Broadway (SoBo) in Baker — Denver's vintage, antique and music row. Storefront turnover there looks a lot like RiNo's: antique-dealer overflow, shop clear-outs, small-business FF&E and old fixtures out of the 1890s brick buildings. We clear a SoBo storefront on the same flat photo-quoted price and the same after-hours discipline, so a retail or gallery space is ready for the next tenant fast.

- Flat commercial photo price — you know the number before we arrive; easy to budget or expense.
- COI + freight elevator handled — for the creative-loft buildings that require it.
- Diverted & licensed — donation, resale and e-cycling first; a licensed Denver hauler, tarped loads, receipts kept.
What RiNo businesses say
"Deinstalled a big show and needed the crates and pedestals gone before the next opening. They came at 7am, cleared it in one flat-priced trip, and we reset the whole gallery that afternoon. No fuss on Larimer during the rush."
"Closed our tap room and had a full FF&E strip — bar, tanks, shelving, tables, and a pile of dead inventory. Weekend window so we didn't lose service days, flat quote from photos, and they even resold some of the gear. No tax on top."
"Our creative office downsized — desks, cubicles, a conference table, and a mountain of old monitors. Booked the freight elevator with our loft's management, cleared it after hours, recycled all the electronics. Flat price, clean handoff."

Frequently asked questions
How much does commercial junk removal cost in RiNo?
It's flat and photo-quoted. A clear-out prices as truck-fill — $241 a quarter, $431 a half, $587 three-quarters, $732 full, multiple trucks for a warehouse or full FF&E strip-out. Individual commercial pieces have set prices too: a conference table is $260, a cubicle $163, an office chair $61, a commercial copier $97. The $75 minimum covers a small pull, disposal is included, and there's no Colorado sales tax on the service.
Can you work after hours or on weekends around events and brewery traffic?
Yes — that's how RiNo works. The district is packed with events, tap-room crowds and gallery openings, so we schedule clear-outs in the early morning, after close, or on weekends to stay out of your customers' way and off the busy Larimer and Walnut blocks. Tell us your quiet window and we'll hit it.
Can you haul brewery or restaurant equipment and FF&E?
Yes. We clear food-and-beverage fixtures, fittings and equipment — bar tops, tanks and kegs, walk-in shelving, tables and chairs, kitchen line pieces, coolers and dead inventory — as a flat-priced turnover. Refrigeration with refrigerant is handled properly, and reusable equipment is routed to resale or donation where it's viable.
Do you do gallery and studio deinstalls?
Yes. Between shows a RiNo gallery or maker studio needs crates, pedestals, spent build material, packaging and old display fixtures gone fast. We clear a deinstall on a flat photo-quoted price and can turn it around same- or next-day so the space is ready to reset.
Can you provide a COI for my loft or commercial building?
Yes. RiNo's newer creative-loft mid-rises and some commercial buildings require a Certificate of Insurance naming management as additional insured before a vendor uses the freight elevator or dock — typically $1 million general liability per occurrence. We file it and reserve the elevator window, same as we do downtown.
What happens to old electronics and dead inventory?
Electronics — monitors, desktops, printers and old TVs — are diverted to an e-cycler because Colorado bans them from the landfill. Usable furniture, fixtures and unsold-but-good inventory are routed to donation or resale where possible, and every load leaves tarped, with the genuinely spent material disposed responsibly.
