Garage, Attic & Basement Cleanout Help
Garages, attics and basements collect years of stuff, and they’re the hardest places to empty: pull-down attic ladders, steep basement stairs and boxes stacked to the ceiling. A loading crew handles the climbing and carrying and packs it into your dumpster in the driveway.

- Old boxes, storage bins and bagged clutter

Check With Your Dumpster Company
- Gas cans, propane tanks, oil, paint and pool chemicals are usually banned from dumpsters.
- Tires often carry an extra fee or aren’t accepted.
- Lawn mowers and engines may need fluids removed first.
Get Ready for Loading Day
- Set aside hazardous materials for separate disposal before loading day.
- Make sure attic access and lighting are safe to work in.
- Move vehicles so the crew has room to work between the garage and dumpster.
How Pricing Works
Each crew sets its own hourly rate for the whole crew, a crew size and a minimum number of hours. Enter your address to compare crews near you and see an estimate for your job. Your dumpster rental and disposal fees are paid to your dumpster company separately, so compare the total against a full-service junk removal quote.
Garage, Attic & Basement Cleanouts FAQs
Can the crew get things down from the attic?
Most crews can, if the access is safe. Tell them whether it’s a pull-down ladder or a full staircase, and roughly how much is up there, so they bring the right number of people.
What can’t go in the dumpster from my garage?
Usually paint, solvents, fuel, oil, batteries, propane tanks and tires. Your dumpster company’s list is the final word, and the crew will leave banned items aside.
