Garage cleanouts are one of our most requested jobs — and one of the most satisfying. That space where everything goes to be forgotten finally gets cleared, and you get your garage back. But what does it actually cost?
Most garage cleanouts fall somewhere between a quarter-truck and a full-truck load, which puts typical pricing in the range of $200 to $600 depending on how full the space is. OC Junk Haulers prices every job by volume, starting at $129.
Our garage cleanouts page has more detail, and below we break down exactly what drives the price up or down.
Garage cleanout pricing comes down to volume. Here’s a rough breakdown based on how much space your items take up in the truck: a light garage (a few items, some boxes) might be a quarter truck at roughly $125–$200. A moderately full garage often lands at a half truck, around $200–$400. A packed, can’t-park-the-car garage may be three-quarters to a full truck, in the $400–$800 range.
Beyond volume, a couple of things can affect the price. Heavy or specialty items — old appliances, paint, chemicals, tires — may require special handling. And accessibility plays a role, though garages are usually easy since they open right to the driveway.
The best way to get the right number is a free on-site estimate. OC Junk Haulers will look at your garage, give you a firm quote before starting, and stick to it. No surprise fees, no per-item charges that balloon at the end — just honest, volume-based pricing for getting your garage back.
