Thanks, Serge, for the quick, professional, and reasonably priced service. Will use you again - highly recommend!
Overview
The car has lived in the driveway since the second move. Inside the garage: a treadmill nobody has run on since 2019, three moves’ worth of boxes, a fridge that died in the August heat, and a shelf of paint cans with the lids rusted shut. Every Sacramento garage we open looks a little like this.
We clear it in one visit. You stand at the door and point, the crew carries, sorts and sweeps, and the truck leaves with everything you said goes. A corner is a minimum load from $99; a packed two-car garage is a full truck or more, priced before we start. Our full-service cleanout page covers whole houses.
At a glance
- Upfront pricing from $99, confirmed before we start
- Same-day and next-day appointments, open 24 hours a day
- We take old furniture, broken or unused exercise equipment, power tools, holiday decorations and seasonal storage bins and more
- Licensed and insured, locally owned in West Sacramento
- We donate what is usable and recycle what we can
- No tips expected and no hidden dump fees
What Our Sacramento Garage Cleanout Service Includes
Full service means you do not lift a box. Two-car garages in Elk Grove, Natomas and Roseville or a one-car garage off a Midtown alley: the crew works from the door inward, keeps the shelving you want, and does not scrape the walls on the way out.
Every garage cleanout includes:
- Everything you point to, including the fridge in the back corner we have to tunnel to
- Sorting in the truck: usable items to a charity when they will take them, metal and cardboard to a recycler, the rest to the transfer station
- The heavy pieces: old furniture, appliances, exercise equipment, workbenches
- A swept floor when we leave, so you can see what you have
- One visit: most garages take one to three hours, and there is no dumpster in the driveway for a week
How Our Garage Cleanout Works
Four steps, and you only do the first one:
- 01
Call or Book Online
Call or text (916) 770-7619, or book online. A photo from the garage door is enough to price it; mention the fridge or the treadmill so the quote is right the first time.
- 02
We Show Up On Time
The crew arrives in the window you picked and walks the garage with you. Keep pile, go pile, maybe pile. The number gets confirmed before anything moves.
- 03
We Load and Haul Everything
Dried-out paint cans, the broken treadmill, the mystery boxes from three moves ago, the bike with one wheel: it all goes on the truck. We take apart shelving and workbenches that will not fit through the door.
- 04
We Clean Up and You Enjoy Your Space
We sweep the floor, then sort the load in the truck. Clean items go to Goodwill, the Sacramento SPCA Thrift Store or Habitat for Humanity ReStore when they can take them; metal and cardboard go to recyclers.
What We Take During a Garage Cleanout
Hot summers and wet winters push everything indoors, and the garage is where it lands. What comes out most often:
- Old furniture, mattresses, and box springs
- Broken or unused exercise equipment
- Power tools, hand tools, and workbench setups
- Holiday decorations and seasonal storage bins
- Kids’ toys, bikes, scooters, and sports gear
- Lawn equipment
- Boxes of old clothes, books, and household items
- Appliances
- Fully dried-out latex paint cans
- Shelving, storage racks, and cabinetry
What we cannot take: liquid paint, motor oil and other automotive fluids, household chemicals, propane tanks, asbestos and medical waste. Sacramento County runs household hazardous waste drop-off for those. See what we don’t take, or ask when you call and we will say which pile each item belongs in.
What Garage Cleanouts Look Like in Our Reviews
Garage jobs are the ones customers write about most. Here are four, unedited, from our Google and Yelp reviews.
“Serge answered my initial inquiry about a garage clean out in just a few minutes, did an estimate, and showed up the next morning as promised. Quick work of a big job and he cleaned up afterwards. Final price was actually less than the estimate. Many thanks.”
Linda Myers Russell, Google“Point to what you want removed and it’s gone! I had a refrigerator buried in my garage. They tunneled through my mess and removed that old refrigerator plus all my junk!”
Richard Black, Google“I used TCJ to haul several boxes and a rug. They were here on time and were super quick! I would absolutely use their services again. He was reasonably priced and very nice! Thank you for helping me get my garage box-free!”
Dai S., Yelp“Great, clear communication about what he could take and how he charged for jobs. He texted to tell me when he’d arrive, and he arrived within the original time window that he gave me. He and his colleague were friendly and fast! When I clean more of my garage, Serge will be getting more business from me.”
Lorrie Robertson, GoogleOne of those four paid less than the estimate, because the load took less truck than the photos suggested. That is how volume pricing is supposed to work: the number can go down at the door, never up. We are a licensed and insured West Sacramento company, and most morning calls get a same-day slot.

Sacramento Garage Cleanout Service Area
Garage cleanouts across the Sacramento region. The truck is based in West Sacramento, so most of these are under an hour away:
- Sacramento (Midtown, East Sacramento, Land Park, Curtis Park, Tahoe Park, Pocket-Greenhaven, Natomas, Arden Arcade)
- Elk Grove (Including South Sacramento and Laguna)
- Roseville (Including Granite Bay and Rocklin)
- Folsom (Including El Dorado Hills)

Whichever neighborhood you are in, we can usually schedule within 24 to 48 hours, and often the same day you call.
Sacramento Garage Cleanout Pricing
You pay for the share of the truck the pile fills. Same tiers as our full price guide, with garage examples:
| Load | Typical price | What that looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | $99 to $150 | A few boxes, a bike and a broken chair |
| Quarter truck | $180 to $280 | One corner: the treadmill, a shelf of boxes, the old patio set |
| Half truck | $320 to $480 | A one-car garage, most of the way cleared |
| Full truck | $850 to $1,000 | A full one-car garage, or half of a two-car |
| Multiple loads | Custom quote | A two-car garage packed floor to ceiling |
Volume is most of the price. Real weight (a workbench, a safe), special disposal (mattresses, a fridge with refrigerant) and a steep or tight driveway can add a little. The quote is free and confirmed before we start, and if you book online we take $20 off.
Before We Arrive, and After We Leave
Sorting first is optional, but if you want to, the four-box method is the fastest: keep, donate or sell, trash, recycle, laid out on the driveway so every item gets a ten-second decision. One category stays out of all four boxes: old paint, pesticides, automotive fluids, batteries and cleaning chemicals cannot ride in our truck or your bin. Sacramento County’s household hazardous waste drop-off takes them; our what we don’t take page lists where each item goes. For a weekend plan, see how to declutter a garage in one weekend, and for what the usual culprits cost to remove, 12 things cluttering your garage.
Keeping it clear is easier than another full cleanout. One in, one out: a new bike means the old one goes. Fifteen minutes a month to break down boxes and sweep. Once a year, anything untouched in twelve months leaves, with a quick pickup for whatever has piled up. We do garage cleanouts across the region, including Arden-Arcade, Davis, Elk Grove, Folsom, Rancho Cordova and West Sacramento, priced per our pricing guide, alongside residential, commercial and large item removal.

Serge was awesome to work with. I am very grateful I found his company. I contacted them on a Tuesday and by Wednesday the hot tub was gone. He was on time and worked hard. Left the area cleaned up and I’m so excited to have my backyard back!

Messaged TCJ Hauling in need of getting rid of some junk that was accumulating in the garage. Not only was the company able to come the same day but were also very punctual and realiable which above all things mean the most me. The service was fast and the vehicle used was modern and able to accommodate for all the items I needed to be removed. Very Prosfessional and accommodating will definitely call them again and tell my friends and family to do the same. Thank you TCJ Hauling!
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a garage cleanout in Sacramento take?
Most take one to three hours. A one-car garage with moderate clutter is often done in under two; a two-car garage packed to the rafters can run three to four, or two trips.
Do I need to sort everything before your crew arrives?
No. Stand at the door and point. Pre-sorting into keep and go piles shortens the visit, but the crew will sort with you if you would rather decide as you go.
Can you clean out my garage the same day I call?
Often, yes. Calls before noon have the best chance of a same-day slot; book online if you want a specific window.
What happens to my stuff after you haul it away?
Usable items go to Sacramento-area charities and thrift stores when they will take them. Metal, cardboard and electronics go to recyclers. The rest goes to the transfer station. We sort it in the truck, not in your driveway.
How is your service different from renting a dumpster?
A dumpster sits in the driveway for days, often needs a city permit, and you do the carrying and loading. We do it in one visit, and once you add the rental days, the permit and your Saturday, the cost usually lands about the same.
