Most Full 1-Car Garages: $449 to $599.
Darius sorts it with you, loads it straight from the garage, hauls it and sweeps the floor, usually in one visit. Priced by the yard: $149 for the first 2 cubic yards, then $75 a yard. Text a photo and you get a price back, usually within 10 minutes during business hours. You approve the price on site before we start.
$149 covers the first 2 cubic yards, then it is $75 a yard. A full 1-car garage is usually 6 to 8 yards, $449 to $599. A full 2-car garage is often 10 to 15 yards, $749 to $1,124, over two trips. The yard table and real-job math are in the garage cleanout cost guide.
Sorting with you, all the loading, the disposal run, a second trip if the load needs one, and a swept floor. No travel fee, no fuel fee, no dump fee.
Gas, oil, paint and other chemicals, dirt and sod, pressure washing, and installing shelving or organizing what stays. We empty it and sweep it.
Text a photo or two from the garage door. You get a price back by text, usually within 10 minutes during business hours. Darius confirms it on the walk-through, every extra is written down, and you approve it before anything is loaded.
A garage cleanout means everything you don't want leaves in one visit and you get a usable garage back: room to park, room to work, a floor you can see. It is hauling, not organizing. Here is the order it happens in.
Darius arrives inside the window he gave you, walks the garage with you, and writes the price down, extras included. Nothing moves until you say go.
Keep, donate, go. Anything unclear gets asked about, not guessed at. Keepers get set to one side so they are out of the carry path.
Everything goes from the garage floor onto the truck and 6x10 dump trailer. Freestanding shelving and workbenches come apart if they need to.
The concrete gets swept and the sweepings go on the load. Oil stains stay, since pressure washing is outside what we do.
Garages stall because every shelf is a hundred small decisions. The three-pile method turns it into three big ones, and you can do it in an evening without lifting anything heavy.
Tools you used this year, seasonal gear you actually use. Move it to one wall or mark it with painter's tape.
Working bikes, decent furniture, tools in good shape. If you want a receipt, drop these off yourself; we can't give donation receipts.
Everything else. Leave it where it is. You don't need to drag it to the driveway.
The usual suspects. If you have something odd, text a photo and ask.
The couch "for guests," patio sets, broken dressers, desks.
The garage beer fridge that finally quit. +$50 each for the refrigerant.
Flat-tired bikes, old skis, golf bags, kayaks, treadmills.
Rusted hand tools, dead power tools, freestanding benches and shelving.
Pre-lit trees that won't light, inflatables, tangled strings.
The boxes you swore you would unpack after the move. Three moves ago.
Lumber, trim, old cabinets. Tile and brick are +$25 a yard as heavy material.
The old set from the last tire change. +$15 each.
Heavy items: a gun safe or a slate pool table is a $349 minimum, quoted on site, because it is 500 to 800 lb in a small footprint. Everything else, exercise equipment included, is priced by the yard. Where it goes: most of it to an STS transfer station, good-condition bikes and furniture sometimes to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, and big loads of scrap metal to a recycler.
The garage is where the chemicals live. None of these can go in a load headed for a transfer station, so set them aside and we will work around them.
Jefferson County: the Rooney Road Recycling Center at 151 S Rooney Rd in Golden takes household hazardous waste on Wednesdays and Saturdays by appointment. It serves Jefferson County and its partner cities, so check that your address qualifies when you book.
Denver: the City of Denver runs its own household hazardous waste program for residents.
Douglas County: the Highlands Ranch page covers the county's household waste options that the HRCA points to.
Dragging a garage's worth of junk to the curb days early is how people get a letter. We load straight from the garage floor during the appointment, so there is no pile to see. A few local rules we have checked:
The Ranch's rules let trash go out after 7 p.m. the night before pickup and want it back in by 7 p.m. on pickup day. A covenant notice gives you 14 days to request a hearing.
Junk removal in Ken CarylThe Community Declaration says trash, scrap and debris can't be kept on a lot unless it is in an enclosed structure or screened from view.
Junk removal in Highlands RanchCity code says indoor furniture and waste building materials may not be stored outside, and trash containers can sit at the curb for no more than 48 hours.
Junk removal in LakewoodSources for each rule are listed on those city pages. Your own HOA or sub-association may have stricter rules, so check yours if you have had a notice.
Some of what you see when you search "garage cleanout" is organizing: shelving systems, bins, wall racks. That is a different job. We empty the garage and sweep it. If you want a full reset, book the organizer or handyman for the day after, when there is finally a clean floor to work on and nothing to work around.
How do people keep their garages clean? Mostly with one rule: nothing goes in that doesn't have a spot. A shelf for each season, a hook for each bike, and a "leaving" corner by the door for things headed to donation or the trash, cleared every month.
How often should you clean out a garage? A real clear-out once a year is enough for most households. Late summer or early fall works well around Denver, so the car is back inside before the first snow and the hail season is behind you.
One light, one heavy. Both written up in full, including what went wrong.
A family mid-move called at midday about a garage holding an old couch, a desk, an all-metal patio table and boxes. Darius had room that afternoon, loaded it onto a half-full trailer, swept the floor, and was gone in about 35 minutes. It was $349, our flat garage price at the time.
Read the Westminster garage case studyAn alley garage packed with cabinets, drywall and nail boards: two full loads, 5.5 hours in the rain, and about $247 in dump fees across two STS stations. The before and after photos above are from this job. A garage full of project debris like this is also what the construction debris removal page covers.

I'm Darius. For garage cleanouts I bring the truck, the 6x10 dump trailer, dollies and pry bars, and I handle the job start to finish from an office in Golden. You deal with the person doing the work, not a dispatcher.
I quote the price face to face, write down any extra, and you approve it before I lift a thing. Mon to Sat 7am to 7pm, Sunday by appointment.

Everything carried up the stairs, with water heaters and pulled carpet taken once they are out. Stairs are $25 a flight.
