Garage Cleanouts in Mesa, AZ
A garage fills up one box at a time and empties all at once. From a single bay you'd like to park in again to a shed you have not opened in years, we sort what can be donated, haul the rest, and sweep the slab before we go. The garage cleanout price is quoted in full before anything moves.

How much does a garage cleanout cost in Mesa?
Most garages are a half load or more, so a garage cleanout usually starts at $360 and runs to $600 for a full trailer. Bigger ones are quoted as multiple loads, with the whole number given before we start. Send photos of the garage to (480) 316-1884 and we will tell you how many loads it is and what the whole job costs. The full price list and the interactive trailer estimator live in the Mesa junk removal cost guide. The ballpark is not the quote: if the job changes, the price changes, and we say so before loading.
Garage Cleanouts questions, answered
Do you sort donations during a cleanout?
Yes. Usable furniture and goods go to Goodwill or Deseret Industries, metal gets recycled, and the rest goes to the landfill. You don't have to pre-sort anything.
Do you work with realtors and landlords?
All the time. Pre-listing and move-out cleanouts usually turn around within a day or two of your call, with photos sent when the job's done.
How fast can you do a cleanout?
Send photos and we will tell you honestly whether it's one trip or several, and when we can start. Smaller cleanouts are often same-week.
Do we need to be there?
For estate and rental cleanouts, many customers just meet us once or handle it by phone. Show us what stays and what goes, and we take it from there.
What won't you take out of the garage?
Hazardous material: paint, solvents, automotive fluids, pool and garden chemicals, propane tanks, batteries, and fluorescent tubes. Those need certified disposal and we're not set up for it. Asbestos needs an abatement company, not a hauler. Set that shelf aside and we'll clear everything around it.
So where does the paint go?
Mesa's Household Hazardous Materials facility at 2412 N. Center St. takes it free if you pay the city's Green & Clean fee, and you'll need proof of a Mesa address. Paint is capped at 20 gallons a day in containers of 5 gallons or less. They also take propane tanks, batteries, pool chemicals, motor oil, light bulbs, and electronics. Check the city's page for current hours first. If the latex paint has dried solid, it can go in the black barrel.
Do you take fridges and freezers with freon?
Yes, and there's no extra charge for the freon. Fridges, freezers, and A/C units come out at the same price as anything else that size. Have it emptied and unhooked and we do all of the lifting.
Do you take old TVs and electronics?
Yes. If you'd rather not pay to have them hauled, Mesa's Household Hazardous Materials facility takes electronics free from residents, the same place the paint goes. Either way they stay out of the landfill.
Do you take tires?
Yes, and they cost extra, because the landfill charges by the tire and a truck tire costs more than a car tire. Put them in the photos you send and the number comes back with the rest of the quote.
Can you do the cleanout while I'm at work?
Yes, as long as access is arranged: a gate code, an unlocked side gate, or an open garage. Show us by photo or on a quick walk-through what stays and what goes, and you get photos when the slab is swept.
What if you find something valuable in a box?
Anything that looks like it matters comes out of the load. Cash, documents, jewelry, old photos, a car title: it goes aside for you, and if nobody's home you get a photo of it. I'd rather set aside ten things you didn't want than throw out one you did.
Would a dumpster be cheaper than hiring us?
Sometimes, and we'll tell you when. A dumpster is the better buy if the work is spread over a week and you're doing the lifting. We're the better buy when it's a one-day job, when the driveway can't lose a parking space for three days, or when nobody at the house should be carrying a water heater. A dumpster also won't take electronics or appliances with freon, so those become a second trip.
Do I need to move the cars out?
If you can, yes. An empty bay gives us somewhere to stage and sort, and the job goes faster. If the car doesn't run or there's nowhere to put it, we'll work around it.
What does a Phoenix garage do to the things stored in it?
More than people expect. Summer garage heat warps vinyl records and candles, cooks the adhesive on old photos and tape, dries out paint and caulk, swells canned food, and kills the batteries in anything left on a charger. A lot of what gets carried out of a Valley garage was ruined years before anyone opened the box. Worth knowing before you spend a Saturday deciding what to keep.
