Garage Cleanout NYC
Decades of "I'll deal with it later" sorted, hauled, and cleared in one visit. Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island garages welcome.
Take Your Garage Back
NYC garages tend to become storage caves. Holiday decorations, old tools, boxes you never unpacked after moving in, bikes the kids outgrew, paint cans from a job you did 8 years ago. We sort, haul, and dispose - most single-car garages done in a single afternoon.
Hazardous materials are where homeowners get stuck: old paint, motor oil, pesticides, propane tanks, car batteries. NYC HHW drop-offs only run certain weekends. We set those aside and either drop them ourselves or give you a bag with the next HHW date circled.
Working items (tools, bikes, unused equipment) get donated when possible - we partner with local Habitat ReStore and Salvation Army. The rest goes to proper recycling or disposal. You walk into a clean garage the same day.

Keeping Your Garage Clean Long-Term
Quick tips from our crew.
One-in, one-out rule
Every new item means an old item leaves. Stops buildup before it starts.
Install wall storage systems
Pegboards, shelving, and ceiling racks turn floor clutter into organized storage. $200 in hardware saves $1,500 in future cleanouts.
Dispose of hazmat annually
NYC HHW events happen year-round - check DSNY schedule. Paint, oil, and chemicals older than 2 years should go.
Inventory what's there once a year
A 30-minute Saturday-morning look reveals what you never use. Give it to us or a neighbor.
