A trash-out is when discarded or unclaimed property is removed from either a commercial or residential property. Trash outs can also be done on external structures, such as storage containers, garages, and sheds – even some kinds of playground equipment may be able to be removed by a junk removal crew.
These are typically arranged by the owner of the property, the property manager, law enforcement officials, or court officers. Once the property has been removed from the area, no individual holds a claim on it, and the items are considered to be abandoned.
