Garage Cleanout in San Luis Obispo County

Can’t park in your own garage? We clear out years of boxes, old furniture, tools and junk, then sweep it so you can pull the car back in.

Most garages fill up slowly. A box from the last move, a broken chair, paint cans, an old bike. One day the car doesn’t fit.

We clean out garages for people getting ready to sell, people who just moved in and found the last owner’s stuff, and people who are just done with the clutter.

In Atascadero we cleared a garage so the home could be listed for sale. In San Luis Obispo we helped a new homeowner clear out a garage right after he moved in.

What we clear out of garages

What we can't take

We can’t take liquid paint, liquid chemicals, fuel, motor oil, propane tanks, medical waste or other hazardous waste. San Luis Obispo County residents can drop those off at no charge at the county’s household hazardous waste facilities (IWMA drop-off info). Not sure about something? Text us a photo.

How much does a garage cleanout cost?

We price by space. How much of our 12.5 cubic yard trailer will your stuff fill? A full trailer holds about 6 pickup truck loads. Your price covers the loading, hauling, disposal and sweep-up. We tell you the price before we start, and there’s no charge if you change your mind. Most single-car garages fit in part of one load. A packed two-car garage can take more.

What can change the price:

Need to keep going through it yourself? Many customers fill one pile with “go” and we take that first. Then we come back when you’re ready.

Where your stuff goes

We sort every load. Anything still useful goes to local thrift stores like Goodwill in Atascadero or Santa Maria, Brookside Thrift Store, and Achievement House in Paso Robles or Arroyo Grande.

All scrap metal and appliances go to SA Recycling in Paso Robles or Santa Maria. That’s more than 300,000 pounds of metal so far. Mattresses, e-waste, cardboard and yard waste go to local recycling. The landfill gets only what’s left.
