Start with the inspection standard

Whether it's an off-post rental or on-post housing, the final inspection is the finish line: the place has to be empty and clean to the landlord's or housing office's standard. Everything the TMO won't ship — the worn couch, the mattress, the grill, the garage clutter, the stuff in the storage unit — has to be gone. Colorado Springs has no city bulk pickup, so you can't just set it at the curb; it's a transfer-station run or a haul-away crew.

Build the timeline backwards

Work back from your report date: household-goods pickup, then the clear-out of what's left, then the inspection. Book the clear-out ahead of the summer surge — May through August is peak PCS across all four installations and windows fill fast. Lock a date early; a flat photo-quote means you know the cost before move week chaos hits.

What to hand off vs haul

Ship or keep what has value; donate what's good and you don't want (ARC, Goodwill, or we'll donation-route it); and haul the rest. A flat-price crew clears the whole rental or home in one visit — furniture, appliances (fridge freon recovered), the garage, and that storage unit you've been paying on since the last move. Sofa $126, whole rental by truck-fill from $241, no sales tax on the service.

The stress-free version

Text a photo of everything that needs to go, get one flat number, pick a date before your inspection, and let the crew carry it out. On-post gate access is arranged; off-post rentals in Fountain, Security-Widefield, Cimarron Hills, and the Powers belt are routine. You focus on the move; the clear-out is handled.

Frequently asked questions

When should I book a PCS move-out clear-out?

As early as you can for a summer move — May through August is peak PCS across Fort Carson, Peterson, Schriever, and the Academy, and windows fill. Book ahead; same-day when a crew's open.

Do you clear on-post and off-post for inspection?

Yes — off-post rentals to the landlord's standard and on-post homes to housing's (gate access arranged). Flat price from a photo, no sales tax on the service.
