Garage Cleanout Cost and Checklist for Temecula Valley Homeowners

Short answer: a garage cleanout is priced by how much of our 21-cubic-yard truck it fills. A one-car garage half full is about a half truck ($698), and a packed one-car garage is about a full truck ($1,098). A two-car garage half full is about one full truck. Most garage cleanouts take two to four hours.

Do I need to sort everything first?

No. Point out what stays and we'll work around it. If you want to keep a few boxes, set them aside or mark them before we arrive, and we'll take the rest.

What's included?

• Furniture, boxes, shelving, bikes, exercise equipment, old tools and holiday decorations
• Usable items to charity, metal and cardboard to recycling
• A swept floor when we're done

What we can't take

Paint, pool chemicals, motor oil, propane tanks and other hazardous waste. Those go to a free Riverside County household hazardous waste drop-off.

Your garage cleanout checklist

• Pull out anything you're keeping, or mark it clearly
• Gather paint, chemicals and propane for the county drop-off
• Look for paperwork, photos or keepsakes in old boxes
• Make sure the garage door opens, or leave it open if you won't be home
• Leave room in the driveway for the truck

Dumpster or full service?

If you'd rather sort at your own pace over a weekend, a 15-yard dumpster ($450, with 2 days and 1 ton included) can make sense. If you want it done in one visit with no lifting, have our team do it. See junk removal vs. dumpster rental.
