Boxes nobody has opened
Paperwork, holiday decorations, kids' school work, and the boxes from the last two moves. We can set anything aside you want to go through first.
Direct Answer
Garage Cleanouts, Straight Up
A garage cleanout is its own job, not a smaller house cleanout. The volume is deceptive: shelving hides depth, boxes are heavier than they look, and there is almost always something bulky at the back that has not moved in a decade.
We pull everything out to the driveway, you flag anything staying, and the rest goes in the truck. You do not sort in advance and you do not carry anything.
Most garages come out in a few hours. A packed two-car garage with a loft or attic space above can take most of a day, and we will tell you which one you have when we quote it.
Detail
What Comes Out Of A Garage
After a few hundred of these, the contents are remarkably consistent.
Broken and outgrown gear
Bikes, exercise equipment, lawn mowers, power tools, patio furniture, coolers and the barbecue that stopped lighting three summers ago.
Old furniture in storage
Couches, mattresses, dressers and desks parked “temporarily”. Anything still clean and sound we route to donation rather than the landfill.
Building leftovers
Offcut lumber, tile, drywall, fencing and half-used bags of dry material from projects that finished years ago.
Checklist
The One Thing To Sort Before We Arrive
- Paint, stain and solvents
- Motor oil, fuel and antifreeze
- Propane tanks and pool chemicals
- Pesticides and weed killer
- Car batteries
- Anything with an asbestos warning
Those are the items no hauler can legally take, and garages are where they live. LA County runs free household hazardous waste drop-off events — search “LA County household hazardous waste” for the next one. Everything else, leave to us.
Questions
Garage Cleanouts FAQ
Do I have to sort the garage before you come?
No. That is usually the part people are stuck on. We pull it all out and you point at what stays. The only thing to separate first is hazardous material, because we cannot legally load it.
How much does a garage cleanout cost?
It is priced on how much room the load takes in the truck plus the labor to get it out. Most garages land between a quarter and a full truckload. You get one flat number before we start. How pricing works →
Can you take the shelving and cabinets too?
Yes. Freestanding shelving comes straight out; anything mounted we can unbolt and remove. If you want built-ins torn out, that is light demolition and we handle it in the same visit.
What if I only want half the garage cleared?
Common request. Point at the half that goes. You are charged for the volume that leaves, not for the size of the room.
