MISSION 06Grand Rapids, MIACTIVE
CLEANOUT / GARAGES

garage cleanout
grand rapids.

Twenty West Michigan winters of salt, sleds, lawn gear and boxes from the last move, and the car has not been inside since the first Obama term. The Grand Rapids crew empties the whole garage in one visit, sorting as they go: keep pile, donate pile, recycle pile, truck. You point, they lift, and the floor gets swept before they pull away.

PAYLOAD MANIFEST

What goes on the truck.

Loads with the crew

  • Shelving, workbenches and cabinets
  • Bikes, toys, sports gear and strollers
  • Boxes of household overflow
  • Tools, mowers and small engines, drained

PRE-FLIGHT

Before the crew arrives.

STEP 01

Walk through and mark anything that stays with painter's tape. Everything else is fair game, which is the point.

STEP 02

Pull out the hazardous stuff: paint, stain, pool chemicals, gas cans. Kent County has a drop-off for those and the crew cannot take them.

STEP 03

Decide about the big items. The chest freezer, the mower and the snowblower each have their own line on the quote.

STEP 04

If the garage is detached with an alley or a back lot, tell the crew so they plan where to stage the truck.

PRICING

How it is priced.

Garages in Grand Rapids are priced by the load after the crew walks it with you. A typical two-car garage that has been filling up for a decade is one to two loads. Appliances, a hot tub shell, or a pile of concrete are called out as separate items so you can see exactly what drives the number. The price is agreed before anything is carried.

SPLASHDOWN

Where it lands.

Garage loads are the most mixed thing the crew hauls, so sorting matters. Tools, bikes, sporting goods and furniture in usable shape go to donation partners in Kent and Ottawa counties. Metal goes to a recycler. Cardboard is baled. Electronics go to a certified e-waste facility. What is left, usually a third of the pile, goes to a licensed transfer station.

A PERSON ANSWERS. NOT A CALL CENTER.
Q 01How long does a garage cleanout take in Grand Rapids?

A typical two-car garage takes a morning with a two-person crew. Garages with a loft, a workshop or a second room take longer. The crew will tell you after the walkthrough.

Q 02Do I need to be there?

For the walkthrough and the first few minutes, yes, so the crew knows what stays. After that most people leave and come back to a swept floor.

Q 03What will you not take from a garage?

Paint, solvents, pool chemicals, gas, propane tanks and anything else hazardous. Kent County runs drop-off sites for those. The crew will set them aside for you in a neat pile.

Q 04Can you clear a detached garage off an alley in Creston or the West Side?

Yes. Alley garages are common in the older neighborhoods and the crew stages the truck in the alley or the back lot.

Q 05Will you take the old workbench and shelving?

Yes. Wood shelving is hauled, metal shelving is recycled, and a solid workbench may find a home with a donation partner.

Q 06What happens to the usable things?

Donation first. Tools, bikes, camping gear, furniture and sporting goods in decent condition go to partners in Kent County. The crew sorts them out as they load.

Q 07Can you do a garage and a basement on the same day?

Yes, and it is cheaper than two visits. Tell the dispatcher both when you call so they book enough time.

Q 08My garage in Byron Center has a loft full of boxes. Problem?

Not a problem, just a ladder and more trips. Mention the loft so the crew brings a second ladder.

REQUEST A PRICE

Show the Grand Rapids crew the pile. They handle the rest.

Describe what is leaving and when you want it gone. The crew calls back with a window and a rough number, then locks the real price at your curb.
