Can you identify all of the items in your garage, basement, or attic? Research shows that the average American household has over 300,000 items. With that many items, it is very easy to put things aside and forget that you have them. These forgotten and unused items sit abandoned for years gradually taking up valuable attic, garage, and basement real estate. Whether you can't fit your car in the garage or there is an avalanche every time you open your attic - call Carolina Junk Pros and we'll set you right.

How Much Do Garage, Basement, & Attic Cleanouts Cost

​The cost of cleanouts varies from project to project, Influential factors include the size of the garage, attic, or basement the volume of items to be removed, project location, and the specific services required. Each cleanout is unique and as such we offer free consultations that allow us to assess your situation and provide customized project packages and pricing. We aim to deliver efficient service that meets your needs while respecting your budget.

​

Why Should I Hire a Cleanout Company

Many of our past clients have told us that they attempted to conduct the cleanout themselves before hiring us. As someone who has orchestrated many cleanouts - it is no easy task. Many people underestimate the necessary manpower, logistics, and equipment necessary to complete a cleanout. Garages often contain large appliances or bulky items that require team lifts or special equipment to move or break down. Attics can be extremely hot and humid during the summer and frigidly cold during the winter. Attics are also the highest point of your house meaning items have to be ferried down and throughout the house. To do so alone can be extremely tiresome and dangerous, especially with bulky or heavier items. Attics especially can pose a significant challenge.

​

What Type of Items do You Remove

Although every home is different, garages, attics, and basements typically hold similar types of items. Here are some of the more common items we come across. 

 

• Appliances

• Automotive Parts

• Books

• Clothing

• Electronics

• Garden Supplies

• Linens

• Optical Media

• Seasonal Decorations

• Tools and Hardware

• Toys and Games

​

How Long do Attic, Garage, & Basement Cleanouts Take?

Every cleanout is different. However, historically, most cleanouts can be completed in 1 day. If you have an unusually large volume or specialty items it can take longer to complete. 

​

​Donate, don't waste!

Carolina Junk Pros prioritizes sustainability and community support. Unlike other companies, we do not trash everything. When conducting a cleanout we first begin by identifying what items can be donated or recycled. Surprisingly, many of the items we find in garages, basements, and attics are new and unused and perfect for donation. Our team is experienced in identifying critical items that can benefit local charities and organizations, ensuring they continue to serve a purpose rather than ending up in a landfill.

What do I Need to do to Prepare for a Cleanout

How to Cleanout a Garage, Attic, or Basement

Garages, attics, and basements are often the go-to spaces for storing items in the home. Over time, we tend to forget about what we’ve stashed away, and before you know it, your space is cluttered and unrecognizable. The thought of sorting through all that clutter can be overwhelming, but with the proper approach, it is more than possible. If you are more of a DDIIYeer, here are some steps you can take to reclaim your space.

​

1. Safety First - Between animal droppings and years of dust and dirt it is always recommended that you wear gloves and a mask when picking through these spaces.

2. Tackle One Area at a Time - Focus on one section—whether it’s the garage, attic, or basement. Moving around aimlessly can make it feel as if you are not making any progress. Dedicate your time to one space before moving on.

3. Sort Items into Categories - Create distinct piles for items to keep, donate, and discard. If something is in poor condition or you don't see yourself using it - it might be time to let it go. 

4. Reorganize What You Keep - Once you’ve sorted, reorganize the items you’re keeping. Group similar items together. Not only does this help you find your items but also prevents you from buying duplicates of items you already own. Consider using labeled storage bins, totes, and shelving to maintain cleanliness and ensure easy access in the future

5. Free Up Space -  If your home contains large appliances like an extra refrigerator or old furniture that you rarely use, consider having them removed to free up much-needed space.

6. Schedule Pickup for Donations and Junk - Don’t forget to arrange for the removal of your donations and junk. ​Whether you need us for just one item or to conduct a full-scale cleanout of your attic, garage, or basement - Call Carolina Junk Pros today to see how we can help.
