Why Garages Fill Up So Fast
In The Woodlands, the garage is where everything ends up. Boxes from the last move. The crib from when the kids were little. The treadmill someone swore they'd use. In a Texas summer, the garage can get blazing hot, which makes cleaning it out yourself a miserable job.
The longer it sits, the worse it gets. Clutter attracts bugs and rodents, hides leaks and damage, and makes it hard to find anything you actually need. And if your car is parked in the driveway because the garage is full, it's sitting out in the sun, the hail, and the pollen.
How a Garage Cleanout Works
- 1
Set aside what you're keeping. Even a quick pass helps. Move the keepers to one side or mark them.
- 2
Call or send photos. A few pictures of the garage help us give you a close price.
- 3
Get your price. We look at the load and give you the exact price before we start.
- 4
We clear it out. We load everything that's going, including heavy stuff in the back corners.
- 5
We sweep up. Once it's empty, we sweep out the spots we cleared.
What We Can't Take From Your Garage
Garages tend to hold the stuff we can't haul. We can't take paint, stains, solvents, gasoline, motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane tanks, or car batteries. Those are hazardous and need special disposal. Montgomery County and The Woodlands Township hold household hazardous waste collection events from time to time, so check with them for the next one. For a full list, read what junk removal won't take.
Dried-out latex paint cans are usually okay once the paint is completely hard. Ask us if you're not sure.
How Much Does a Garage Cleanout Cost?
| What affects the price | Why |
|---|---|
| How full it is | A few items costs less than a garage packed to the ceiling |
| Heavy items | Exercise equipment, appliances, and building materials weigh more |
| Attic or loft storage | Items stored overhead take more time to bring down |
| Sorting | Keeping some things and going through boxes takes longer |
| Special items | Fridges, tires, and some equipment need extra handling |
You'll get a firm price before we start. See our junk removal cost guide for more.
Garage Sale or Junk Removal?
A garage sale can make a little money, but it's a whole weekend of pricing, setting up, and haggling, and you still end up with a pile of stuff nobody bought. A lot of people have the sale, then call us to haul off what's left. That works too.
