Garage & Storage Unit Cleanouts
Get your garage back.
We clear garages and storage units across the Upstate, haul off everything you do not want, and sweep up before we leave. You are charged by the trailer load, at a rate we publish, with nothing added on the day.
$299 first trailer load. $275 for each one after that.
What we do
Cleanouts, hauling, and the heavy lifting
Garages are most of what we do. The rest of this list is the same job in a different building.
Garage Cleanouts
One bay or the whole thing, sorted and cleared in a day.
We work through the garage with you, set aside anything you are keeping, and load out the rest. Most jobs are done in an afternoon. You get the floor back and we take the pile.
Storage Unit Cleanouts
Stop paying rent on things you do not want.
Clearing a unit once costs less than another year of paying for it. Send us the facility and unit number and we will call the office to sort out access before we drive out. Drive up units are easiest, and upper floor interior units take longer, so tell us which you have.
Junk Hauling
A single heavy item, or a trailer load of it.
Some jobs are one couch nobody can lift and some are a full trailer. Both are worth a call. If it is a single item we can usually work it into a run we are already making, which keeps it cheap.
Estate & Downsizing Cleanouts
Careful, unhurried, and we work at your pace.
Clearing a parent or grandparent house is a different job from clearing a garage, and it goes better slowly. We keep a hold pile for anything you want a second look at, and nothing leaves until you have seen it.
Sheds & Outbuildings
Backyard sheds, carports, and workshops.
Sheds hold the things that were too awkward for the garage. Old mowers, half a deck, bags of something nobody remembers buying. Same job, smaller building, and usually a shorter carry to the trailer.
Furniture & Appliance Removal
The heavy things you cannot get down the stairs alone.
Couches, mattresses, desks, treadmills, washers and dryers. We bring straps and a dolly and we protect the doorways on the way out. Anything with refrigerant in it needs special handling, so mention it and we will price it properly.
Simple version
How it works
Four steps, and the number is agreed before any work starts.
- 1
Send photos
Three or four from the doorway is plenty. Stand back far enough to get the whole space and the piles in frame.
- 2
You get an estimate
We come back with a rough load count and what that runs at our rate. It is an estimate off photos rather than a quote, because depth and weight do not show up in a picture.
- 3
We settle it on site
We walk it with you and split it into keep, go, and undecided. Then we give you the real load count and the total before anything touches the trailer. You sign a short agreement, and if the number does not work you can send us home at no charge.
- 4
We load, haul, and sweep
Everything goes on the trailer and off to the landfill or the donation drop. We sweep the floor on the way out.
Pricing
What it costs
We charge by the trailer load. That rate is the whole price.
Nobody can price a garage off a photo, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What we can tell you is the rate, and that nothing gets added to it. Photos get you an estimate. Then we walk the space with you and settle the load count before anything moves, so the number is agreed while you are standing there.
- First trailer load
- $299
- Each load after that
- $275
Covers showing up, sorting with you, loading, hauling, and the landfill fees.
Most two car garages come in around two loads.
A load is our 5 by 8 trailer with the sides on, which holds about 7 cubic yards. Picture a bit under half of a small moving truck.
No fuel charge, no dump fee, no minimum beyond the first load, and no charge for the sorting or the sweeping. A load is a trip. A part full trailer still counts as one, because the run to the landfill costs us the same either way.
We pack every load as tight as we safely can. Sometimes the trailer is full by size and sometimes it is full by weight. A load of paver stone hits the trailer legal limit long before it looks full. Either way that is one load.

Why us
What you get that you might not elsewhere
You get the owners, both of them
Dustin and Brandie do the work. There is no crew, no dispatcher, and nobody different showing up than the person you talked to. If you need something handled a certain way, tell the people doing it.
One rate, and nothing bolted onto it
Most cleanout companies quote in person, so the number arrives once somebody is already standing in your driveway. We would rather send you the rate in a text and let you think about it. There is no fuel surcharge, no disposal line, and no minimum past the first load.
You point, we carry
Nobody expects the homeowner to help load. Stay inside if you want. We will come find you for anything we are unsure about and otherwise you can leave us to it.
Questions people ask first
Send three or four photos from the doorway and we will come back with an estimate. It is an estimate and not a quote: a photo does not show depth, or weight, or what you have decided to keep. The real number gets settled in person, before we start, with you standing there. If it does not work for you at that point, we leave and you owe nothing.
One trip out with the trailer. It is 5 feet by 8 feet with 5 foot sides, roughly 7 cubic yards. A lightly used two car garage is often one load, a full one is usually two, and packed to the rafters runs three or more. A part full trailer still counts as a load, because the drive and the landfill run cost the same whether it is stacked to the top or not.
For the sorting, yes, at least at the start. We want you to walk the space with us and mark what stays before anything moves. After that you are welcome to go back inside and we will find you if something needs a decision.
Yes, and it is one of our better jobs because you stop paying rent the same month. We do call the facility office first to confirm you are the tenant on the unit and that the account is current, since a unit in default is under a lien and the contents legally cannot be removed.
Yes, a one page agreement before we start, and you can read it on our terms page right now rather than first seeing it on your driveway. It sets out the load count we agreed, the rate, what we cannot take, and the fact that items become ours once they are loaded. It takes about a minute.
They become our property, which is what the agreement covers. From there we may donate, recycle, scrap, repair or resell any of it. That is how the rate stays where it is. Removal is final, so if you are undecided about something, keep it out of the go pile and tell us. We are happy to leave it or to make you an offer on it.
Almost. Paint, solvents, tires, propane, car batteries, refrigerant appliances, and old tube televisions are all turned away at the landfill, so we cannot put them on the trailer. Ask and we will tell you where those do get taken.
Send a few photos and we will tell you what it takes.
Charged by the trailer load, at a published rate, with nothing added on the day.
