Garage, attic and storage-unit cleanouts in Tampa Bay

Most garage cleanouts follow a simple pattern: we pull what's going onto the driveway in rough groups, you make the keep-or-go call on anything in doubt, and what you're keeping stays put or goes back against one wall. Then we load, haul and sweep the slab.

To make the day go faster:

• Decide on the big pieces ahead of time, such as the old fridge, the treadmill or the extra sofa
• Pull out anything with gas or oil in it: mowers, trimmers, pressure washers, gas cans
• Gather paint, pool chemicals, pesticides and car batteries in one corner so they can go to a county drop-off
• Move the cars out the night before

The price depends on how much of the truck the load fills, and you get it before we start. A half-cleared garage is fine too: tell us to stop at the shelves you want to keep and we'll price only what goes.

Florida attics get brutally hot for much of the year, which is exactly why boxes stay up there for a decade. We do the climbing and carrying so you don't have to work up there yourself, and we're glad to book an early start in the warmer months.

Tell us how the attic is reached, whether it's a pull-down ladder in the garage or a hatch in a closet ceiling, and roughly how much is up there. We hand boxes down carefully, stay on the joists and keep an eye on the drywall below as we go.

Anything you'd like to look through first, such as holiday decorations, keepsake boxes or old paperwork, we can set at the bottom of the ladder so you can sort it before it's loaded. Closets and under-stair storage are part of the same job, and the whole clear-out is priced together.

If you're paying monthly rent on things you don't want, the math gets clear fast. Meet us at the unit, or arrange access with the facility, point at what goes, and we'll empty it and leave it broom-clean for the move-out walkthrough.

Check a few things before the day:

• The facility's access rules and gate code, and whether trucks have to check in at the office
• Whether the facility lets you use its dumpsters for a full unit; don't assume it does
• Your move-out date, so we can schedule before the next month's rent is charged

If some pieces are going home with you and others are headed for donation, we load the donation items separately. Climate-controlled units often hold furniture in good shape, so it's worth telling us what's in there before we arrive.

Paint, solvents, fuel, pool chemicals, pesticides, propane cylinders, motor oil and car batteries can't go on our truck, and garages are where they hide. As of October 2026, every county gives households a place to drop them off:

• Hillsborough: Community Collection Centers and the county's household hazardous waste days accept up to 10 one-gallon and 5 five-gallon paint containers per household each month, with a state photo ID showing a Hillsborough address (hcfl.gov (opens in a new tab))
• Pinellas: the free household hazardous waste program takes up to 20 one-gallon and 5 five-gallon paint cans per vehicle per day from Pinellas households (pinellas.gov (opens in a new tab))
• Pasco: household paint is accepted free, up to a daily limit (20 to 30 gallons, depending on which County page you read), at the county's household hazardous waste sites (pascocountyfl.gov (opens in a new tab))

Old tires are limited too, so mention it if you have more than a few. The full list is in our guide to what can't go in a dumpster in Florida.
