Convenient dumpster rentals for garage cleanouts, decluttering projects, and removing years of accumulated items.
Garage cleanout dumpsters are residential-sized containers perfect for decluttering projects, removing accumulated junk, and clearing out garages that have become storage spaces over the years.
Garages accumulate decades of items that can't go in regular trash: old furniture, broken appliances, building materials, and general clutter. A dumpster rental provides convenient disposal for bulky items and saves multiple trips to the dump, making major cleanout projects manageable.
Typical Timeline: Most garage cleanouts require dumpsters for 3-7 days. Weekend rentals (Friday-Monday) are popular for DIY projects, while larger estate cleanouts may need 1-2 weeks to sort through items and load systematically.

Pro Tip: Get quotes from multiple providers to ensure competitive pricing. Prices can vary by $50-$150 between companies in the same area.
Before ordering your dumpster, sort garage items into categories: trash, donate, sell, keep. This helps you estimate the right dumpster size and reduces rental period.
Select a container based on your garage size and volume of items. Most single-car garage cleanouts need 10-15 yards, while two-car garages need 15-20 yards.
Have the dumpster delivered when you're ready to work. Weekend delivery is ideal for DIY projects when you have time to focus on the cleanout.
Place plywood boards under the dumpster to prevent damage to concrete or asphalt driveways from the weight of the container and debris.
Break down large items, distribute weight evenly, and load heavy items first. Keep a clear path for continued loading throughout the project.
Electronics, paint, chemicals, and hazardous materials cannot go in dumpsters. Arrange alternative disposal through local recycling programs.

For most garage cleanouts: a 10 yard dumpster works for partial cleanouts or single-car garages with moderate clutter, 15-20 yard containers handle full single-car or two-car garage cleanouts, and 20-30 yard dumpsters are needed for multi-car garages or extensive accumulation. Consider how many years of items you're clearing.
Garage cleanout dumpster rentals typically cost $250-$550 depending on size and location. A 15 yard dumpster averages $300-$400, while 20 yard containers cost $400-$550. Weekend rentals may cost slightly more due to demand, but most include 3-7 days of rental time.
Acceptable items include: old furniture, boxes, tools, sports equipment, lawn equipment (drained of fluids), lumber, metal scraps, books, decorations, and general household junk. Most dumpsters accept non-refrigerant appliances like washers and dryers.
Prohibited items include: paint (liquid), chemicals and solvents, automotive fluids (oil, antifreeze), propane tanks, tires, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, asbestos, electronics, and refrigerant-based appliances. These require special disposal through recycling centers or hazmat facilities.
A typical single-car garage cleanout takes 1-2 days of focused work, while a two-car garage or extensive accumulation may take 3-5 days. Estate garage cleanouts requiring sorting and decision-making can take 1-2 weeks. Most dumpster rentals include 7 days, which is sufficient for most projects.
Yes, pre-sorting saves time and money. Separate items to keep, donate, sell, and trash before the dumpster arrives. This helps you choose the right size, reduces rental days, and ensures you're not paying to dispose of items that could be donated or sold.
Empty paint cans can go in the dumpster, but liquid paint cannot. Latex paint should be dried out (mix with cat litter) before disposal. Oil-based paint and stains are hazardous waste and must be taken to a household hazmat collection site. Always check with your provider.
Place the dumpster in your driveway as close to the garage as possible without blocking the garage door. Ensure a clear, straight path from the garage to the container. Use plywood to protect your driveway, and confirm the placement allows the delivery truck to pick up the container later.
