The boxes you haven't opened since 2017. The exercise bike you bought in March. The patio furniture from the apartment before this one. We sort it, donate the good stuff, recycle the metal, and haul the rest. You park in your garage again.
Garage cleanouts are the second-most-requested service we run, and they're also where customers underestimate scope the most. "Just a few boxes" turns into the entire south wall once we open everything up. That's fine — we price based on what's in the photos, and if there's more than expected we tell you the new number before we touch anything.
Our standard garage cleanout crew is two people with a half-truck or three-quarter-truck depending on what your photos show. We bring contractor bags for the loose stuff, dollies for the heavy stuff, and a quick sort process for the boxes you haven't looked in: anything obviously trash goes straight to the truck, anything that looks personal (paperwork, photos, mementos) gets pulled aside so you can decide.
About 64% of what we pull out of a Tampa garage gets donated or recycled. Bikes that still roll go to Tampa BMX or a local kids' nonprofit. Tools go to Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Christmas decorations someone else will love next December go to thrift partners. Metal stuff — old grills, lawn chairs, broken appliances — goes to scrap. Hazardous stuff like old paint and motor oil gets routed to the county hazardous-waste facility.
Partial garage (quarter-truck): $189 — clearing one wall, a corner pile, or about 3 cubic yards.
Half garage (half-truck): $329 — clearing the perimeter, getting the car back in, ~6 cubic yards.
Full garage (three-quarter to full truck): $489–$649 — wall-to-wall, including shelving and bins.
Multi-truck: Custom pricing for shop-style garages, hoarding situations, or multi-property cleanouts.
The all-in price covers labor (we do all the lifting), sorting (donation vs. recycle vs. dump), disposal fees, and the sweep-out at the end. Anything you want to keep — pulled aside before we load.

60–90 minutes for an average two-car garage if the photos show 8–10 cubic yards of stuff. Faster if it's mostly boxes; longer if there's significant furniture or built-in shelving to break down.
We sort. Two-person crew runs a quick categorize-as-we-go: trash to the truck, donations to a separate pile, scrap metal to a third, and anything personal (boxes with photos, paperwork) pulled aside for you to decide.
We can take small amounts of household hazardous waste and route it to the Hillsborough or Pinellas county hazardous-waste facility for proper disposal. Industrial-quantity hazmat (drums, large solvents) we sub out — call first.
Yes. Metal racks, wood-built shelves, slatwall, pegboards — we bring tools and we're happy to demolish whatever you want gone.
Yes — appliances are a standard part of garage cleanouts. They get rolled into the same truck and go through the same recycling process as our appliance removal jobs.
That's a specialty job and we run those regularly. Multi-truck day, discreet crew, no judgment. Send us photos through the gap in the door if needed — we'll quote it accurately.
