A Chicago garage fills up from the alley side: leftover building materials, the old lawn mower, four sets of tires, the sofa that didn't fit in the new place, boxes from the last move. We've done 405 garage cleanouts in the last 24 months, from single-car garages in Lincoln Square to three-car suburban garages in Elmhurst and Glen Ellyn, and most of them take under two hours.

Because we come to the alley or the driveway, garage jobs are the ones customers most often have done while they're at work. Leave the door open or give us a code, the crew quotes it and clears it, and you get before-and-after photos by text. Metal, wood and cardboard get separated for recycling, appliances and electronics go to a local recycler, and anything that can be re-homed instead of landfilled, is.

What We Take

  • Old furniture, mattresses and appliances stored in the garage
  • Lumber, drywall, paneling and leftover renovation materials
  • Lawn mowers, snow blowers and yard tools
  • Tires, rims and auto parts
  • Bikes, sports equipment and kids' toys
  • Boxes, bins and shelving
  • Grills, patio furniture and planters
  • Broken garage-door panels and openers
  • Paint (dried), fertilizer bags and empty containers
  • Workbenches, cabinets and pegboard

How Garage Cleanouts Works

  1. 1

    Book a free onsite estimate

    Book online, or call or text (312) 800-1940. Pick an arrival window that suits you. Same-day and next-day are often available, Monday through Saturday.

  2. 2

    The crew gives you a firm price on the spot

    They take a look at everything and give you one number that covers the labor, loading, hauling and disposal. There's no obligation, so if it doesn't work for you, they simply leave and there's no charge.

  3. 3

    Say yes and it's gone, in the same visit

    The crew carries everything out from wherever it sits, loads it up, and sweeps up after themselves. Most jobs are finished right then and there.

  4. 4

    You don't even need to be there

    If the crew can reach the items, whether that's the alley, the garage, a doorman or a door code, they'll do the job while you're at work, text you before-and-after photos, and take payment by phone or with a card on file.

Real Jobs, Real Results

Garage Cleanouts FAQs

Do I need to be home?

Not necessarily, and for garages most people aren't. Leave the door open or give us a code, tell us what stays, and the crew texts you the price before they start and photos when they're done. Payment is by phone or with a card on file, and we'll email you a receipt.

Do you take lawn mowers and snow blowers?

Yes, happily! We recycle the metal.

What about tires?

Yes. Illinois keeps whole tires out of landfills, so they go to a licensed tire recycler, and there's a small per-tire fee in the estimate.

Can you also take the stuff on the side of the garage and in the alley?

Sure, as long as it's yours. Alley piles are common in Chicago; just point at what's yours and we'll take it.

Do you sweep up?

Every time. A garage cleanout ends with a sweep, so you're looking at a clean floor rather than the outline of what used to be there.

What can't go?

Liquid paint, motor oil, gasoline, propane tanks, pesticides and car batteries are household hazardous waste. Chicago residents can drop these at the city's facility at 1150 N. North Branch St., and suburban residents can check their county's household hazardous waste program.

Free Onsite Estimate, One Firm Price

We don't quote by phone, because we'd rather give you a number we can stand behind. The crew comes out for free, looks at what's going and how it's getting out (stairs, elevators, heavy material and all), and gives you one price that covers everything. Say yes and they do the job right then. Say no and there's no charge, no hard feelings.
