Do you empty the whole garage?

We take what you point to. Keep what you want; we haul the rest.

How is a garage priced?

By dump-bed tier. See truck load prices — hover the cargo area and pick the slice of the bed the pile will fill, or text photos for a match.

Can you take chemicals from the garage?

No paint, fuels, or batteries. We still haul the rest of the pile.

Do I have to sort first?

Helpful but not required. We sort for recycling and donation as we load.

A packed garage is rarely one item — it is years of mixed junk. Fred’s runs garage and storage cleanouts as truck-load jobs, from a stall’s worth to a full dump bed.

We have cleared more San Diego garages than we can count — 50,000+ jobs, 21 years. We sort as we load: donate, recycle, trash. You do not rent a dumpster that sits for a week and still needs loading.

We will give you back your needed garage space at a great price, and we always sweep up before leaving.

Curbside garage cleanout in Hillcrest, San Diego. Fred's crew carries boxes and a microwave from the garage to the dump truck.

Small garage cleanout in Hillcrest

This was a small garage cleanout in Hillcrest. The junk was already in the garage, at a drive-up spot, so it counted as curbside. The customer texted pictures of the pile. Fred sent a price, and they locked it in.

Fred's crew made easy work of loading the boxes, bags, and small appliances into the junk truck and left the garage neat and clean. The quoted price was the amount they paid. Text pictures of your garage if you want a guaranteed price before the truck rolls.

Fee rules

Pricing is posted before the truck rolls. No hidden travel charge, no “fuel surcharge” at the curb. Please have the job ready so the quote holds.

The quote you accept from photos is the amount you pay. We do not add surprise fees on the day of the job.
Curbside is the better rate when items sit at a drive-up spot: driveway, residential garage, or alley. We load. You do not need to be home.
Full-service means you point and we carry it from inside, the second floor, or the backyard. That labor is in the full-service price.
Dump fees, recycling, and the haul are included.
Ensure there is a cleared pathway for items to be removed.
Ensure bagged materials do not contain paint, liquids, fuels, chemicals, or other hazardous materials.
Ensure gasoline and oil is removed from small engines such as lawnmowers.

Dump vs. recycle

A dump run puts the whole pile in a landfill. We do not work that way. Usable furniture goes to donation partners when condition allows. Metal, appliances, and e-waste go to scrap and certified recycling. Mattresses and box springs enter California mattress recycling whenever the plant will take them. Only the leftover mixed trash goes through a licensed transfer station.

Garage cleanouts are recycling-heavy: scrap metal, e-waste, cardboard, and donation items pulled before residual trash. That cut in landfill volume is why a professional crew beats a dumpster-only approach.

Pay for the space you use

Don’t guess at a dumpster.

A corner pile is not a full truck. Truck load prices start at $69 for a small pile up to $599 for a packed dump bed.

Garage and storage cleanouts priced by the dump bed

A packed garage is rarely one item. It is years of mixed junk: holiday boxes, a dead fridge, a bike missing a wheel, paint you cannot leave for us, and the stuff you forgot you kept. Fred’s runs garage, attic, and storage-unit cleanouts as truck-load jobs. You keep what you point to. We haul the rest. You get the square footage back, and we sweep the slab before we leave.

Fee rules for garages are dump-bed tiers, not a mystery hourly. See truck load prices and pick the slice of the bed the pile will fill — from a small pile up to a packed dump bed at $599 curbside. Full-service, if we pull from inside the garage or the house, uses the matching full-service column. The photo quote is the amount you pay. Paint, fuels, and batteries stay off the truck. We still take the rest of the stall.

Dump versus recycle is why a crew beats a dumpster that sits for a week. We sort as we load: scrap metal, e-waste, cardboard, donation items, then residual trash through licensed transfer. A dumpster-only plan often becomes one mixed landfill load you still had to throw in yourself. Sorting on the truck cuts landfill volume and is included, not an extra line.

You do not have to pre-sort, though keep-versus-haul piles speed the job. Cars that stay get space. We do not throw items over a neighbor’s fence. Attics and storage units use the same pricing once we see photos of volume and access.

Twenty-one years and 50,000+ jobs means we have cleared more San Diego garages than we can count — Linda Vista, Allied Gardens, Chula Vista, Mission Valley. Text photos for a match or use the calculator. Locally owned, veteran owned. The stall is empty when we leave.
