Reclaim your garage

What's Included in a Garage Cleanout?

A cleanout starts with a quick walk-through. You show us what you want to keep, and we take everything else, boxes, broken equipment, old furniture, holiday decorations, scrap metal and years of “I’ll deal with it later.” We do the sorting, carrying and loading. When we leave, the floor is clear.

The same goes for basements, attics, sheds and storage units.

What we usually clear out

Boxes & bins
Old tools
Shelving units
Workbenches
Exercise equipment
Bikes & sports gear
Holiday decorations
Scrap metal
Old furniture
Lawn mowers (drained)
Old electronics
Garage fridges

Items with special rules

Garages often hold paint, motor oil, gas cans, pesticides and propane tanks. We can’t haul hazardous materials, but Pierce County has household hazardous waste drop-off options. Set them aside and we’ll work around them. Lawn mowers and other gas equipment need to be drained.

How to prepare for a garage cleanout:

Set aside paint, chemicals, fuel and propane. We can’t take those.
Check boxes for papers, photos and keepsakes before we arrive.
Make sure we can get the truck close to the garage door.

Pricing & quotes

How Much Does a Garage Cleanout Cost in Tacoma?

Garage cleanouts are priced by how much truck space the stuff fills, plus extra for heavy materials. A one-car garage with some boxes and a couple of bikes is very different from a two-car garage packed to the ceiling.

What changes the price

Volume: how much of the truck your garage clutter fills. A few boxes and an old bike cost far less than a garage stacked to the ceiling.
Weight and material: dirt, concrete, roofing and tile weigh far more than furniture and cost more to dump.
Sorting time: if we're sorting what stays as we go, that adds labor.
Special handling: some items, like refrigerators, carry extra disposal or recycling fees.

Typical Tacoma-area market ranges

About these numbers: these are typical ranges from prices that Tacoma-area and national junk removal companies and pricing guides posted publicly, checked in October 2026. They are not Dash Junk Removal’s prices. Your quote is based on your actual items, and you’ll see it before anything is loaded.

Why Dash Junk Removal

Why Homeowners Pick Us for Garage Cleanouts

Most people put off a garage cleanout because it eats a whole weekend. With us, it’s usually one visit.

Garages and basements in Tacoma homes

Tacoma’s damp weather is hard on stored boxes, furniture and cardboard, so a garage or basement that sits full for years can get musty fast. Many older homes in the North End, Proctor and South Tacoma also have tight basement stairs. We plan for both when we quote your cleanout.

Where your items go

Scrap metal, old appliances and some electronics go to recycling when possible. Usable tools, sports gear and furniture may be donated if a local center accepts them. The rest goes to a disposal facility that accepts it.

You stay in charge

Nothing leaves unless you say so.

We do the heavy work

Shelving, workbenches, old fridges and all the boxes.

Sorted as we load

Metal and usable items are separated when possible.

Ready to use

We leave the floor clear when we're done.

Questions, answered

Garage Cleanout FAQs

How much does a garage cleanout cost in Tacoma?

It depends on how full the garage is. Based on public prices we checked in October 2026, a partial cleanout often runs about $175 to $400 in the area, and a full truckload about $550 to $1,100. Those are market ranges, not our prices. Photos let us give you an exact quote.

Do I need to sort everything before the cleanout?

No. It helps to know what you’re keeping, but we can work through the space with you on the day.

Can you remove old furniture and appliances from a garage?

Yes. Old couches, garage fridges, freezers, washers and shelving are all common in garage cleanouts.

How long does a garage cleanout take?

Most single-garage cleanouts are done in one visit. A packed two-car garage or a basement with stairs takes longer. Photos help us estimate.

Can I request a quote using photos?

Yes. Send a few wide shots of the space through the quote form.

What items can't be removed?

Hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, motor oil, gasoline and propane tanks. Set them aside and we’ll point you to drop-off options.
