Tampa Bay - park in your garage again
Garage Cleanout in Tampa Bay
Quick answer
We clear garages across Tampa Bay - the dead lawn equipment, the second fridge, the boxes you have not opened since you moved in, the workbench pile. We do the lifting and haul it off, down to a floor you can park on. Priced by how much comes out: from $100 for a single item up to $600 for a packed two-car garage. Batteries and tires are fine; paint, oil, and fuel are not.
The garage that ate the car
It starts with one box and a lawnmower and ends with a room you walk sideways through. In a Florida garage with no basement to absorb the overflow, it stacks fast. We come in and take it back to a clear slab in a single trip most of the time.
Point out what stays - the tool chest, the good bikes, the beer fridge that still works - and the rest goes. You do not sort it to the driveway or lift the heavy stuff. Same guy quotes it and hauls it, price up front.
What comes out of the garage
- Old furniture, shelving, and workbenches
- The second fridge, freezer, or old appliances
- Broken or unused lawn and yard equipment
- Boxes, totes, and stacked clutter
- Kids' outgrown bikes, toys, and sports gear
- Exercise equipment and holiday decorations
- Batteries (car and household)
- Tires ($2 each)
- Paint, motor oil, fuel, solvents, propane
- Any liquid hazardous or chemical waste
- Scrap metal (loose metal for recycling)
Paint, oil, fuel, and chemicals go to a Hillsborough or Pinellas county household-hazardous-waste drop-off, not the trailer. Batteries and tires we can take.

Common questions
How much does a garage cleanout cost in Tampa Bay?
It is priced by how much comes out. A single item or a small corner starts at $100; a quarter trailer is $150, a half is $300, and a packed two-car garage clear-out runs $450 to $600 for three-quarters to a full trailer. Most single-car garages land in the half-trailer range. You get the tier before we start, off a photo or a walk-through.
Can you take old paint, motor oil, or a car battery from the garage?
Batteries yes - car and household batteries are fine. Old paint, motor oil, fuel, solvents, propane, and any liquid chemical, no; those are household hazardous waste and have to go to a county drop-off, not in the trailer. Tires we take at $2 each. We do not haul scrap metal, but a metal shelving unit or an old grill going out with the rest of the garage is fine. Not sure about something on the shelf? Call and we will tell you straight.
What can you clear out of a garage?
The usual garage load: broken or unused lawn equipment, old furniture, the second fridge or freezer, workbench clutter, boxes you have not opened since the last move, kids' outgrown bikes and toys, holiday decorations, sports and exercise gear, and general stacked-up stuff. We take it down to a clear floor so you can actually park in there.
Do I have to pull everything out to the driveway first?
No. We do the hauling from wherever it sits, including up on the rafters and off the wall hooks if you point us at it. You do not have to stage it, sort it to the curb, or lift the heavy pieces. Tell us what stays - the tool chest, the good bikes - and everything else goes.
Can you clear a garage the same day in Tampa?
Often yes, when the schedule has room. A garage cleanout is usually a single-trailer, same-day job once we are on site. Call early in the day for the best shot at a same-day slot, and we will give you an honest window instead of a vague all-day one.
Related cleanouts and where we cover
A garage is often just the start. Whole-home junk is a residential cleanout; just the couches and the mattress is furniture removal; the old fridge or hot tub is appliance removal. Home base is Tampa and we run across the Tampa Bay metro.
