garage cleanout
kalamazoo.
A Kalamazoo garage holds twenty winters of salt-stained sleds, half a canoe, the kids' first bikes and every box from the move to Portage. The crew empties it in one visit, sorting into keep, donate, recycle and haul as you direct, and sweeps the floor so the car can go back in before the first snow.

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
- Second refrigerators and chest freezers
- Old doors, lumber and leftover building material
Stays behind, and why
- Paint, solvents, pesticides and propane (set aside for a hazardous waste event)
- Vehicles and boats
Before the crew arrives.
Tape what stays. Everything else is fair game.
Set aside paint, stain, chemicals and gas cans. Kalamazoo County has a household hazardous waste center for those and the crew cannot take them.
Decide about big items. Freezer, mower and snowblower each get their own line.
Say if the garage is detached or on an alley so the truck is staged right.
How it is priced.
Garages in Kalamazoo are priced by the load after a walkthrough. A two-car garage that has been filling for a decade is usually one to two loads. Appliances and heavy items are line items so you see what drives the number, and it is agreed before anything moves.
Get today's numberWhere it lands.
Tools, bikes, sporting goods and furniture in usable shape go to donation partners in Kalamazoo County. Metal is recycled, cardboard is baled, electronics go to a certified e-waste facility, and the remainder goes to a licensed transfer station.
Mission log.
The Kalamazoo crew answers these on the phone every day. Here they are in writing.
(269) 788-1199Q 01How long does a Kalamazoo garage take?
A two-car garage takes a morning with two people. Lofts and workshops add time. The walkthrough gives you the estimate.
Q 02Do I have to stay?
For the walkthrough and the first few minutes. Then most people head out and return to a swept floor.
Q 03What will you not take?
Paint, solvents, pool chemicals, gas, propane. The county hazardous waste center takes those and the crew sets them aside neatly.
Q 04Can you clear a detached garage off an alley in the Edison or Northside neighborhoods?
Yes. The crew stages the truck in the alley and loads from the back door, which is actually faster than a driveway garage because nothing has to cross the yard.
Q 05Old workbench and shelving?
Yes. Metal shelving is recycled and a solid bench may be donated.
Q 06What happens to the good stuff?
Donation first. The crew sorts it out as they load.
Q 07Can you clear the garage and the basement on the same day in Kalamazoo?
Yes, and it is cheaper than booking two visits because the truck is only coming out once. Tell the dispatcher both when you call so enough time is blocked.
Q 08My Texas Township garage has a loft full of boxes. Is that a problem?
Not a problem, just more trips up and down. Mention the loft when you book so the crew brings a second ladder and a spotter.
Point the Kalamazoo crew at it. Consider it handled.
Say what needs to go and roughly when. You get a call back with a window and a ballpark, and the firm price happens at your door.
