What Is Garage Cleanouts?

A garage cleanout is a full sweep of the unwanted stuff piled up over the years. Old paint cans, broken yard tools, boxes that were never unpacked after the move, the busted lawnmower, the bike no one rides. We take it all in one trip when possible.

Our crew sorts as we load. Anything that can be donated or recycled gets routed there first. Everything else is hauled to the appropriate transfer station or recycler. You walk back into a clear garage at the end of the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Garage Cleanouts questions, answered.

Do I need to be home for the cleanout?

No. As long as we can access the garage and have clear instructions on what stays and what goes, we can complete the job without you on site.

Can you take old paint and chemicals?

Latex paint that's fully dried can go in the truck. Wet paint, motor oil, gasoline, and pesticides need to be dropped at a Polk County household hazardous waste facility. We can advise on what falls into which category.

What about old tires?

Yes, we take tires. Iowa charges a per-tire disposal fee that we include in the quote.

How long does a garage cleanout take?

Most jobs take 2 to 4 hours. Two-car garages packed floor to ceiling can take a full day.
