What a garage cleanout costs
The price depends on your garage. Three things move it up or down.
How much there is
A few shelves of boxes costs less than a garage packed to the door.
How heavy or awkward it is
Workbenches, exercise machines and old appliances take more to move than bins and bags.
How easy it is to reach
A clear path to the driveway keeps the job simple. Tight or blocked access adds to it.

Why clearing out a garage yourself is a hassle
Most garages stay full for the same four reasons.
It takes more than an afternoon
Years of build-up means sorting, carrying and loading, and it can run past a single weekend.
The heavy pieces need two people
Workbenches, exercise machines and old appliances aren't a one-person lift.
It won't fit in your car
A garage full of junk means borrowing or renting a truck, and often more than one trip.
You still have to get rid of it
Curbside pickup doesn't take everything, so you're left finding a drop-off and hauling it there yourself.
Skip all of it. You decide what stays, and we do the lifting, loading and hauling.
Garage cleanout questions
Do I have to sort or bag everything first?
No. Tell us what's staying and what's going, and we take it from there.
Can you clear part of the garage and leave the rest?
Yes. You decide what goes. Anything you want to keep stays where it is.
There's old paint and fuel in my garage. Can you take it?
No. Paint, fuel, chemicals and propane tanks are things we can't take. Tell us what else is in there and we'll quote the rest.
What happens to things that are still usable?
Usable items are donated. Anything that can't be reused is disposed of.
Which areas do you serve?
Pinellas and Hillsborough County, including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Tampa, Brandon and Riverview.
Do you offer a military, veteran or first responder discount?
Yes. Discounts are available for military, veterans and first responders. Mention it when you ask for your quote.
