Garage Cleanouts in Garland, Rowlett and Rockwall, TX

In a lot of east DFW homes the garage turns into the overflow room. Boxes from the last move, a treadmill nobody uses, old paint, kid bikes, holiday decorations, and shelving that is bowing under the weight. It builds up a little at a time until the car has not been inside in years.

A garage cleanout is mostly sorting and carrying. You decide what stays, we load everything else, and we sweep the floor when the space is clear. We donate or recycle usable items when we can. Liquids and chemicals are the exception: paint, fuel, pool chemicals, and similar items are on our not-accepted list, and we point you to the right drop-off instead.

What affects the cost

How much of the truck it fills. Most garage cleanouts are priced by volume, from a small corner to a full two-car garage.
Item type. Mixed household items are straightforward. Heavy equipment, appliances, and tires can add disposal cost.
Sorting time. If you want us to work through boxes with you, it takes longer than loading items you have already picked.
Disassembly. Shelving, workbenches, and play sets may need to come apart.
Disposal fees. Mattresses, tires, and appliances often carry extra disposal fees at drop-off.

How to prepare

Walk the garage first and set aside or tag anything you want to keep.
Take a wide photo from the driveway, and a few closer shots of the deepest piles.
Pull out paint, chemicals, fuel cans, and propane tanks. We cannot take those.
Drain fuel from mowers and other small engines, or tell us so we can plan.
Move the cars out of the garage and driveway on the day so we have room.
Tell us about HOA rules on trucks and work hours.

What we do not take on this job

Paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, motor oil, and fuel
Propane tanks and other pressurized cylinders
Car batteries and other lead-acid batteries
Asbestos or anything we suspect contains it
Refrigerators and freezers we cannot confirm will be handled properly

Plus everything on our not-accepted list below.

Texas and DFW notes

Household chemicals

Leftover paint and chemicals are common in garages. Many east DFW cities point residents to a household hazardous waste program for those. Dallas County runs the Home Chemical Collection Center at 11234 Plano Road in Dallas, which serves residents of participating cities. Check with your city for eligibility.

Heat in the garage

North Texas garages get very hot in summer, so plan heavy sorting sessions for the morning. Cardboard boxes stored on the floor also tend to break down over time, so expect some repacking.

What we cannot take

We do not haul hazardous waste. If any of these are in the load, set them aside and check your city's household hazardous waste program.

Paint, stains, solvents, and thinners
Household and garden chemicals, pesticides, and pool chemicals
Gasoline, fuel, motor oil, and other automotive fluids
Propane tanks and other pressurized cylinders
Car and other lead-acid batteries
Asbestos, or materials we suspect contain asbestos
Medical waste, sharps, and medications
Ammunition, fireworks, and explosives
Refrigerators, freezers, and AC units, unless we confirm first that the refrigerant will be handled properly

Federal EPA rules (40 CFR 82.155) require the refrigerant in appliances like refrigerators, freezers, and window AC units to be recovered, or its recovery verified, before the unit is finally disposed of. That is why we confirm before taking them. This list is our company policy. Not sure about an item? Ask before the visit.

Common questions

Do I have to sort everything first?

No. It helps if you tag what stays, but we can work through the space with you on the day.

Will you take old paint?

No. Paint and chemicals are on our not-accepted list. Check your city's household hazardous waste options.

Do you sweep after?

Yes. We sweep the floor once the space is clear.

Can you take a lawn mower?

Yes, once the fuel and oil are drained. Tell us if it still has fuel in it.

Do you donate items from garages?

We donate or recycle usable items when we can. Tools, bikes, and clean furniture have the best chance.

How do I get a price?

Send a wide photo of the garage and a few close shots through the contact page or by email. We quote before scheduling.

Can you also take things from the house?

Yes. Most garage cleanouts include a few items from inside the house too. Just point them out.
