Green Guys clears out whole properties across San Luis Obispo County: sheds, shops, barns, yards, old equipment, lumber and whatever a tenant or past owner left behind. We walk the property with you first, then load it, haul it, recycle the metal and leave it ready to list, rent or move into.
Most of our property cleanout calls come from five kinds of people, in about equal numbers: realtors getting a house ready to list, property managers and landlords turning over a rental or cleaning up after an eviction, fiduciaries handling a property for a client, buyers who took a place as-is, and families who live out of the area and need a parent’s property cleared. Realtors and fiduciaries keep calling us back for one reason: they trust us with their clients. We communicate the whole way through, we’re calm with families going through a hard time, and we get it done without surprises.
A call is best. Property cleanouts have a lot of moving parts, and a few minutes on the phone tells us what we’re walking into.
Sheds, shops, side yards, the garage, the back of the lot. Live out of town? Give us access and permission and we’ll walk it ourselves.
We can usually come out within about 24 hours of your call. On a job this size, one photo doesn’t show enough to quote it fairly.
We can usually start within a few days, never more than a week out. Large properties get 4 or more people on site. We load, haul, recycle the metal and clean it up to the standard you need, including ready for sale if you’re listing it.
We can’t take liquid paint, liquid chemicals, fuel, 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). Set them aside during the walk-through and we’ll work around them.
Property cleanouts vary in price more than any other job we do, so we price them the way we price everything: by how much space your items take in our 12.5 cubic yard trailer, which holds about 6 pickup loads. Each full load includes loading, hauling, disposal, sweep-up and about 1.5 hours of labor.
What changes the price on a property cleanout:
On an Atascadero hillside property, trash was scattered across the whole lot. It took 8 loads, 4 crew and 5 days, and much of that time went into labor: picking up thousands of small pieces takes hands, not trailer space.
A daughter living in Southern California found us on Google after moving her dad closer to her. His property had six sheds packed with tools, old equipment and years of stored supplies, plus lumber, pavers and cinder blocks around the yard. We emptied all six sheds over about a week, split across two visits. The scrap metal went to recycling, and anything still useful was resold or given away. A few of his tools still ride on our trucks today.
The new owner of a hillside property had the City of Atascadero asking for a cleanup that had dragged on for years. Trash and debris covered the whole lot in small pieces. Our operations manager, Chris, led a crew of 4 for 5 days. We hauled 8 loads, 2 of them all scrap metal. Luke stayed in touch with the officer until she told us the property was good to go.
After an eviction, the house, garage, backyard and side yard were all full. The fiduciary managing the property had seen our crew working on another job and called us. We hauled more than 6 loads, plus some rock from the yard. She still calls us for her clients today.
Our biggest property cleanout so far was outside our usual area: a full acre in Watsonville packed with trailers, appliances, equipment and sheds. It took two weeks, 18 twenty-yard trash dumpsters and 3 forty-yard metal dumpsters.
Property cleanouts are heavy on metal, lumber and equipment, so a lot of what we haul never needs to go to the landfill. Every piece of metal goes to SA Recycling, at their Paso Robles or Santa Maria yard depending on where the job is. That’s more than 300,000 pounds since we started, much of it from property cleanouts.
Furniture, household goods and tools that still have life in them go to Goodwill in Atascadero or Santa Maria, Brookside Thrift Store, or Achievement House in Paso Robles or Arroyo Grande. Some tools end up working on our own trucks. E-waste goes to recycling.
“Have hired them many times now for various properties in SLO County and they always do a good job for a competitive price.”
Farid, SLO County
“They cleared out a student rental house for us at the last minute and saved us so much stress and worry.”
Pamela, San Luis Obispo
“They went through everything and found photos that I am glad weren’t trashed too.”
Garrett, Nipomo

Yes. They make up most of our property cleanout calls, along with landlords and families. Many of them call us back for property after property.
Yes. We clear the house, garage and yard so the property can be rented again. In Nipomo we hauled more than 6 loads from one eviction.
Yes. In Atascadero we worked directly with the city’s code enforcement officer until she told us the property was cleared. Tell us who’s handling your case and we’ll keep them updated.
By how much of our 12.5 cubic yard trailer your items fill. Each full load includes about 1.5 hours of labor, and extra time is billed by the hour. We walk the property, usually within 24 hours, and give you the price before we start.
Yes. If you’re selling, tell us and we’ll leave it cleaned up to that standard.
It depends on the property. A south Atascadero property with six full sheds took about a week. An Atascadero hillside lot with trash spread everywhere took a crew of 4 five days.
Liquid paint, liquid chemicals, fuel, medical waste and other hazardous waste. We do take tires for a small extra charge.
