Rental property generates junk on a schedule nobody controls. A tenant moves out and leaves a bedroom set. The basement common area fills with abandoned bikes. A unit floods and the carpet has to come out today.
LaFata Disposal Services works with Syracuse-area landlords on both one-off hauls and ongoing turnover support. We show up when we say we will, because a missed appointment on a turnover costs you a week of rent.
Syracuse has one of the older rental housing stocks in New York, and the practical result is basements, attics and third-floor walk-ups full of things previous tenants never took. Those are exactly the spaces we spend our days in.
What we handle for rental properties
- Turnover cleanouts between tenants
- Abandoned furniture, mattresses and appliances
- Basement and attic accumulation from past tenants
- Common area, hallway and porch clutter
- Water-damaged carpet, padding and drywall
- Garage and shed contents at rental properties
- Yard debris and overgrown-lot cleanup
- Renovation debris from unit rehabs
How we work with landlords
1. Text us the unit and photos
No forms or portals. A couple of photos and an address is enough to get a number back.
2. Scheduled around your turnover
We slot the haul between the move-out and the painters so nobody is waiting on anybody.
3. Access without you being there
Lockbox or key handoff is fine. We send photos when the unit is clear.
4. Simple invoicing
Consistent pricing across your properties so you can budget turnover cost per unit.
Who this is for
- Owners of one or two rental doubles
- Multi-family building owners
- Property management companies
- Student housing owners near SU and Le Moyne
- Section 8 landlords preparing for inspection
- Out-of-area investors who own Syracuse property
The main thing landlords want from a hauler is not the lowest possible price — it is showing up. We keep our schedule tight for exactly that reason.
If you own several properties, ask about standing scheduling so you are not chasing a quote every time a unit turns.
Frequently asked questions
Do you offer repeat pricing for multiple properties?
Yes. Regular landlord clients get consistent pricing and priority on the schedule.
Can you get in with a lockbox?
Yes. Most of our landlord work happens without the owner on site.
Do you handle Section 8 inspection prep?
We handle the junk and debris portion — clearing egress, basements and common areas. Repairs are a contractor's job.
Can you take out water-damaged carpet?
Yes, including cutting, rolling and hauling pad and tack strip.
