How does a garage or estate cleanout work?

You don't have to move a thing to the curb. Our two-person crew comes inside, works through the space systematically โ€” pulling items off shelves, out of corners, and from underneath workbenches โ€” loads everything onto the truck, and sweeps up before they leave. You point, we haul.

For a garage cleanout, that means clearing out years of accumulated tools, old furniture, broken equipment, cardboard, and whatever else has piled up. For an estate or full-property cleanout, it means working through every room: bedrooms, living areas, kitchens, garages, attics, and basements.

The process is straightforward:

1

Send a photo

Text or email a photo of the space to (704) 459-5052 or [email protected]. A photo of the whole area gives us enough to ballpark the volume and reply with a starting price.

2

We confirm on-site

When we arrive, we walk through the space with you, confirm the exact scope and price from our published rate card, and answer any questions โ€” before touching a single item.

3

We haul and sweep

The crew works through the space, carries everything to the truck, and sweeps the area clean. You're left with an empty, broom-clean space โ€” nothing left for you to deal with.

How much does a full cleanout cost in Charlotte?

Cleanout pricing is based on truck volume โ€” how much space your items take up in the truck bed. These are ballpark figures from our published rate card; your exact price is confirmed on-site before any work begins.

1/4 truck
$145
1/2 truck
$215
3/4 truck
$310
Most cleanouts
Full truck
$399

Every tier includes a 2-person crew, in-home removal, all loading, disposal fees for general junk, and sweep-up. These are ballpark estimates โ€” we validate the exact price on-site before hauling anything. See the full 2026 Charlotte junk removal cost guide for more detail on what drives the price.

Most garage cleanouts land somewhere between a half-truck and a full truck, depending on what's accumulated over the years. A full estate or whole-house cleanout typically takes a full truck or more โ€” we can quote a multi-load job if needed. For single items you want to pull out of the space, the single-item rate card applies; you pay whichever price is lower.

How long does a cleanout take?

That depends on how full the space is, how accessible the items are, and how much sorting you've done ahead of time (though you don't have to do any). A clear garage with typical clutter is a different job than a packed basement that hasn't been touched in a decade.

What we can say: our crew works efficiently and doesn't drag things out. We'll give you a realistic sense of what to expect when we walk the space before starting, so you can plan your day accordingly. We don't quote specific durations as guarantees because every space is genuinely different.

If timing is tight โ€” you have a closing date, a move-out deadline, or family arriving โ€” let us know when you reach out. We'll do our best to schedule around what matters to you, and same-day availability is often possible when you book before noon.

Estate cleanouts โ€” when it's more than just junk

Clearing a home after a loss, or helping an aging parent downsize, is one of the harder things a family navigates. The last thing you need on top of that is hauling boxes and furniture in the summer heat, or figuring out what to do with a lifetime of accumulated belongings.

Our crew has done this work enough to understand that an estate cleanout isn't just a big garage job. We work at whatever pace makes sense for you, take direction on what stays and what goes, and handle the physical work without you having to explain every corner of the house. You keep control of the process; we do the heavy lifting โ€” literally.

If you're managing a cleanout remotely โ€” coordinating from out of state after a parent's passing, or overseeing an estate sale aftermath โ€” we can work directly with a designated contact on-site and send you a photo after the space is clear. Reach us at [email protected] or (704) 459-5052 and we'll figure out what works.

What do you do with usable items from a cleanout?

We route whatever can be donated or recycled there first. Furniture in decent condition, working appliances, clothing, and household goods that still have life in them go to local donation channels rather than straight to disposal. The rest goes to a licensed disposal facility.

If there are specific items you want to make sure get donated โ€” a good couch, a working washer, boxes of clothes โ€” just flag them for the crew when we walk the space. We'll treat those separately and make sure they don't end up in the general haul.

Disposal fees for general junk are already included in the price we quote you. There are no hidden disposal add-ons for ordinary household cleanout material.

Do I need to sort anything first?

No. The whole point of a full cleanout is that you shouldn't have to. If you want to pull out specific keepsakes or valuables before we start, that's fine โ€” most people do a quick pass before we arrive โ€” but you don't need to sort, bag, box, or stage anything for us.

If there are items you're unsure about โ€” things you might want to keep but aren't sure โ€” just set them aside in a corner or closet before we begin and we'll work around them. Once we start, we take everything you've designated as "haul" and leave everything else exactly where it sits.

One thing worth noting: we can't take hazardous materials โ€” wet paint, oils, fuels, chemicals, or anything classified as household hazardous waste. If you find those during a cleanout, Mecklenburg County runs free household hazardous-waste drop-off, and we're happy to point you to it.

Cleanout FAQ

Specific questions about garage and estate cleanouts in Charlotte.

Are the ballpark prices I see the price I'll actually pay?

Our published rate card is a ballpark โ€” not a locked price. When we arrive, we walk the space, confirm what's being hauled, and give you the exact price before touching anything. If the real number is different from our estimate, you'll know before we start. No hidden fees, no upsell once we're inside.

Do I need to be home during the cleanout?

You or a designated contact needs to be available at the start so we can walk the space together and confirm the scope and price. After that, many customers step away โ€” you don't need to supervise the whole job. For estate cleanouts managed remotely, we can coordinate with whoever you designate on-site.

What happens if you find hazardous materials in the space?

We'll flag them for you rather than haul them. Paint cans, old fuel canisters, pesticides, and similar items fall under household hazardous waste โ€” we can't legally put those on the truck. Mecklenburg County has free hazardous-waste drop-off events for exactly this situation; we'll point you to the details if it comes up.

Can you handle a cleanout that fills more than one truck?

Yes. Large estate cleanouts or whole-property jobs sometimes take more than a single load. We'll quote the full scope when we walk the space โ€” either a multi-load price or separate trips. Just mention the scale when you reach out so we can plan the right amount of time.

Is there anything you won't take during a cleanout?

The same items we can't haul on any job: wet paint, oils, fuels, chemicals, asbestos, medical or biohazard waste, and ammunition. Everything else a two-person crew can carry โ€” furniture, appliances, boxes of general household goods, electronics, yard equipment โ€” is fair game. The full list is on the 704 Junk homepage.
