GARAGE CLEANOUT EDMONTON
Garage Cleanout Edmonton - Fast Junk Removal Service
Your garage in Millwoods hasn’t fit a car in five years. It’s full of stuff you keep meaning to deal with – boxes from when you moved in, old furniture you replaced but never got rid of, tools you don’t use, kids toys they outgrew, random junk that just accumulated over time. Every spring you say you’re gonna clean it out, and every year nothing happens. This is where garage cleanout Edmonton services save you from another wasted weekend.
Last Saturday we cleared a garage in Terwillegar that was packed floor to ceiling. Customer inherited the house from his parents and the garage was 30 years of accumulated stuff. Old appliances, furniture, paint cans everywhere, tools, gardening equipment, boxes of who-knows-what. Took us four hours with a three-person crew and two truckloads. He could finally park his car inside for the first time since buying the place two years ago.
Garages become catch-all storage spaces. Anything you don’t want in the house goes to the garage “temporarily” and then lives there forever. Eventually you got so much stuff you can’t even walk through, let alone park.
Why Garages Get So Full
Garages are easy dumping grounds. You bring something home, don’t know where to put it, toss it in the garage. You replace furniture, old piece goes to the garage. Kids outgrow toys, garage. Appliance gets upgraded, garage. Over months and years it piles up.
Nobody wants to deal with disposal. Taking stuff to the dump means renting a truck, loading everything, driving there, paying fees, unloading. That’s a full Saturday minimum. Easier to just leave it in the garage and say you’ll deal with it later.
Seasonal stuff accumulates. Christmas decorations, camping gear, sports equipment, patio furniture in winter, snow blower in summer. All this seasonal stuff takes up space year-round even though you only use it part time.
Broken stuff sits forever. Lawnmower that doesn’t run, bike with flat tires, BBQ that quit working – you keep meaning to fix it or take it somewhere but it just sits there taking up space.
One customer in Riverbend told us his garage had been full for 12 years. Started when they moved in and put “temporary” boxes in there. Boxes never got unpacked. More stuff got added every year. Eventually the garage was so full they couldn’t even get to the boxes to see what was in them.
What We Remove From Garages
Garage junk removal Edmonton includes basically everything. Old furniture that got replaced – couches, tables, dressers, desks. This is super common. New furniture gets delivered, old stuff goes to the garage and lives there for years.
Appliances pile up in garages. Old fridges, freezers, dishwashers, microwaves, washers, dryers – we’ve pulled every type of appliance from Edmonton garages. Usually stuff that quit working but nobody wanted to haul to the dump.
Tools and equipment are everywhere. Old lawnmowers, snowblowers, power tools, hand tools, workbenches, toolboxes. Some still work, some are broken, all taking up space. We’ve cleared entire workshops from garages where guys accumulated decades of tools.
Sports and recreation equipment fills garages. Bikes nobody rides, exercise equipment that never gets used, hockey gear, camping stuff, fishing equipment, skis and snowboards from ten years ago. Kids sports gear they outgrew – we’ve hauled out hockey bags, soccer equipment, baseball stuff from garages all over.
Boxes and storage containers are huge. Moving boxes that never got unpacked. Storage bins full of stuff you forgot about. We’ve opened boxes in garages that hadn’t been touched in 15-20 years. Usually full of stuff that should’ve been thrown out ages ago.
Automotive stuff accumulates. Old tires, car parts, oil containers, antifreeze jugs, windshield washer fluid, car cleaning supplies. Guys who work on their own vehicles end up with garages full of automotive junk.
Yard and garden equipment is constant. Old BBQs, patio furniture, planters, garden tools, hoses, sprinklers, bags of old soil and fertilizer. Stuff from previous homeowners sometimes – we’ve found garden equipment in garages that the current owner never even knew they had.
Building materials from old projects. Leftover lumber, paint cans, drywall scraps, tiles, flooring pieces. Every home improvement project leaves behind materials that end up stored in the garage forever.
Spring Garage Cleanout Season
April through June is insane for us with garage cleanouts. Everyone wants their garage cleaned out for summer. You wanna park inside again, or use the space for something besides storage, or you’re just sick of looking at the mess.
We’re doing garage cleanouts Edmonton in Summerside, Windermere, Ellerslie, Heritage Valley, Sherwood Park – everywhere – from the moment the snow melts. It’s our busiest season by far.
Spring cleaning motivation hits and people finally tackle garages they’ve been avoiding for years. The weather’s nice, you got energy, time to get it done. We capitalize on that motivation and help people actually follow through.
Getting garages ready for summer use drives alot of calls. You want to set up your workbench, organize tools properly, make space for bikes and sports equipment you’ll actually use. Can’t do any of that when the garage is full of junk.
Moving and Downsizing Garage Cleanouts
People moving out of Edmonton homes often need garage cleanouts. You’re packing the house, dealing with movers, and realize you got a garage full of stuff you’re definitely not taking to the new place.
Downsizing situations are huge. Moving from a house with a big garage to a condo or apartment with no garage – everything’s gotta go. We’ve helped people in Bonnie Doon and Strathcona downsize from houses they lived in for 30+ years. The garage alone fills multiple trucks sometimes.
Estate cleanouts after someone passes away include the garage. Often the hardest part actually – 40 years of accumulated tools, equipment, and stuff stored in the garage. Families don’t want any of it but feel guilty throwing away dad’s tools. We help make those decisions easier and handle the physical work.
Rental property turnover includes garage cleanouts sometimes. Tenant moves out, leaves a bunch of junk in the garage. Landlord needs it cleaned before showing the property. We’ve cleared garage junk from rental houses all over Edmonton.
Hoarding Situations in Garages
Hoarding starts in garages often. Person can’t throw things away, garage fills up first before the house does. We’ve seen garages packed so full you literally can’t walk in – stuff piled to the ceiling, narrow paths between piles, totally overwhelming.
These situations need patience and understanding. It’s not just junk to the person who collected it. We work with families dealing with hoarding, go at whatever pace makes sense, don’t judge. Sometimes it takes multiple visits to fully clear a hoarded garage.
We’ve worked with hoarder situations in Alberta Avenue, Eastwood, Mill Woods, all over Edmonton. Each one is different but the common thread is overwhelming volume and emotional difficulty letting go of stuff.
Professional organizers sometimes call us to partner on hoarding cleanouts. They work with the client on decisions and organization, we handle the physical removal and disposal. Good team approach.
Garage Organization Cleanouts
Sometimes people don’t want everything gone – they want help clearing out the junk so they can organize what’s left. We can do partial cleanouts where you point at what goes and what stays.
These are popular in newer neighborhoods like Keswick and Chappelle where people haven’t accumulated as much yet. They got some junk mixed in with useful stuff, want to separate and get rid of the junk part.
After we remove the junk, suddenly there’s space to actually organize properly. Install shelving, hang bikes on walls, set up workbenches. But you gotta clear the junk first to see what space you’re working with.
We’ve done garage cleanouts where customers keep maybe 30% of what was there and we haul away the other 70%. Few hours later they got a functional garage instead of a storage disaster.
Inherited House Garage Cleanouts
Buying a house that comes with a full garage is common. Previous owners left stuff behind, and now it’s your problem. Could be useful stuff, could be total junk, usually it’s mixed.
We’ve cleared garages for new homeowners all over Edmonton. Previous owner lived there 25 years, left behind half their stuff when they moved. New owner doesn’t want any of it but doesn’t have time to deal with disposal themselves.
Foreclosed properties often come with full garages. Bank owns the house, needs everything cleared before it can be sold. We’ve done garage cleanouts for banks and property managers dealing with foreclosures in every Edmonton neighborhood.
Inherited houses when family members pass away need full cleanouts including garages. Often the garage is the most overwhelming part because it’s full of tools, equipment, and stuff family members don’t know what to do with.
What Happens to Garage Stuff
Donation is our first choice for usable items. Working tools, decent furniture, sports equipment in good shape – we donate to Goodwill, Habitat ReStore, and other Edmonton charities when possible.
Problem is most garage stuff isn’t donation quality. Tools are rusty, furniture is damaged, equipment is broken. That stuff gets recycled when possible or goes to the dump.
Scrap metal from garages has value. Old tools, metal shelving, car parts, lawn equipment – we separate metal and take it to scrap yards. Better than landfilling and the scrap value offsets disposal costs slightly.
Hazardous waste like old paint, chemicals, oil – we can’t take that. You need to dispose of hazardous materials through proper channels. City eco-stations accept household hazardous waste. Once that’s handled, we can remove everything else.
Garage Cleanout Pricing
Garage cleanout Edmonton pricing depends on how full it is. Half-full single-car garage might be $400-600. Completely packed double-car garage could be $1200-1800. We quote based on volume.
We can give estimates over text if you send photos. Show us what you got and we’ll give you a pretty accurate price before scheduling. Or we can come look in person for big jobs.
Pricing includes everything – labor, trucks, disposal, recycling, donation drop-offs. No hidden fees. The quote is what you pay unless you add a bunch more stuff after we start.
Way cheaper than trying to do it yourself. Truck rental, dump fees, your entire weekend, probably sore back – or just pay us and it’s done in a few hours while you do literally anything else.
Same-Day Garage Cleanout
Need your garage cleaned out today? We offer same-day garage cleanout Edmonton if you call before noon and we got availability. Costs a bit extra but when you need it done NOW, it’s worth it.
Moving emergencies come up. You’re moving tomorrow and just realized the garage is still full. We’ll come in quick and clear it so you can finish your move on time.
Property showings scheduled last-minute mean garages need cleaned fast. Can’t show a house with a garage full of junk. We’ve helped realtors and homeowners get garages presentable for showings with quick turnaround.
Garage Cleanout Process
We start by looking at everything with you. You tell us what goes and what stays if anything. For full cleanouts, everything goes obviously.
Then we start loading. Systematically work through the garage, load everything onto trucks, haul it away. We’re fast but careful – not throwing stuff around or damaging your garage in the process.
Sweep and clean up after we’re done. We don’t leave behind dust, nails, bits of junk. Garage should be empty and clean when we leave, ready for you to use however you want.
Most single-car garages take 2-4 hours depending on how full. Double-car garages might be 4-8 hours for really packed ones. We work efficiently to get it done fast.
Preparing for Garage Cleanout
Go through and grab anything you definitely want to keep. Family photos, important documents, valuables – make sure those are out of the garage or clearly marked before we arrive.
If there’s hazardous waste, have that separated. Old paint cans, chemicals, oil – anything hazardous needs different disposal. We can’t take that but everything else we’ll handle.
Clear access to the garage. If there’s stuff blocking the garage door or driveway, move it so we can get in and out easily with loads.
Be there when we arrive or have someone who can make decisions. For full cleanouts it’s simple, but if you want some stuff kept we need you there to tell us what goes.
Let us know if there’s anything valuable or sentimental mixed in. Last thing we want is to accidentally haul away something important. Better communication upfront prevents problems.
