Garage Cleanouts by What's Filling the Space
Full Garage Clear-Outs
Everything goes except what you mark: shelving units, boxes, bikes, holiday decorations, broken furniture. The crew carries straight from the floor to the truck, so it's quicker than a basement or attic. Angi prices 5 to 10 cubic yards of garage junk at $300 to $800.
Mowers, Grills and Power Tools
Lawn equipment and grills are mostly metal, which a hauler may sort out for scrap. Run the mower dry or drain the fuel before haul day. Take the propane tank off the grill and ask the hauler separately whether they'll take it; don't leave it buried in the pile.
Freezers, Old Fridges and Tires
The garage freezer and the spare fridge carry a refrigerant disposal fee, covered on the refrigerator removal page. Old tires can't go in a Tennessee landfill whole and carry a per-tire fee; tire disposal has the local rules.
Workshop Scrap and Leftover Lumber
Cut-off boards, old cabinets, bent shelving and a busted workbench are heavy for their size. Metal pieces may be worth separating; see scrap metal pickup. Treated lumber and drywall scraps go out with the rest of the load.
Furniture and Exercise Gear Parked in the Garage
The couch that was "going to the basement" and the treadmill nobody walks on often end up in the garage first. They're bulky single items, so they price closer to a few pieces than a full load. Exercise equipment removal covers machines that need to come apart, and couch removal covers sleeper sofas and sectionals.
Why Clarksville homeowners call Clarksville Junk Haulers
- Your request goes to one local hauler, not a call list
- Ask for the all-in price before anything is loaded
- Free to call; you pay only the hauler, for the job you agree to
- Tell us about stairs, heavy items or a deadline up front
What a Garage Cleanout Costs by Volume
Angi breaks garage jobs down by how much junk there is, which is closer to how a hauler quotes than garage size alone:
| How much junk | Typical price |
|---|---|
| A handful of boxes | $100 to $200 |
| A few bulky items, say a sofa, a dresser and a treadmill | $200 to $300 |
| Up to 3.5 cubic yards | $150 to $400 |
| 5 to 10 cubic yards | $300 to $800 |
If your quote comes in near a full truck, ask the hauler to walk you through what they counted.
How to Prep the Garage
Pull out the things that can't ride on the truck first: paint, solvents, pesticides and pool chemicals. The homepage explains what haulers won't take and where it goes. Then tape a "keep" sign on anything staying, move the cars out and leave the driveway clear for the truck to back up. Group the keepers along one wall instead of leaving them scattered, and decide about the good hand tools before the crew arrives: a hauler will load them, but a neighbor or a yard sale might want them more.
