garage cleanout
northwest indiana.
Twenty lake-effect winters of salt-rusted tools, bikes the kids outgrew, paint cans, the second fridge and the boxes from two moves ago. The Northwest Indiana crew sorts it on the spot, donates what is usable, recycles the metal and sweeps the slab so the car fits again.

Before the crew arrives.
Walk the garage and tag anything that stays. Painter's tape works.
Pull the car out so the crew can back the truck to the door.
Point out hazardous cans so they are left in one spot for you.
Decide whether the shelving goes or stays.
How it is priced.
A garage is priced by how much truck it fills, usually somewhere between a half load and a full load. The crew walks it with you, gives you the number and starts. If you pull things out of the pile mid-job, the price only goes down.

Usable tools, bikes and sports gear go to donation partners in Lake and Porter counties. Metal shelving, mowers and appliances go to a recycler. Cardboard is recycled. What is left goes to a licensed transfer station.

(219) 758-8562Q 01How long does a garage cleanout take?
Most single and two-car garages are done in one visit. Packed three-car garages can take a second truck.
Q 02Do I need to sort before the crew comes?
No. Tag what stays and the crew sorts the rest into donate, recycle and haul.
Q 03Can you take paint cans?
No. Latex and oil paint go to a county household hazardous waste event. The crew sets them aside for you.
Q 04Do you sweep when you are done?
Yes. The slab is swept before the truck leaves.
Q 05Can you remove the shelving too?
Yes, if you want it gone. Metal shelving is recycled.
Q 06Do you do garage cleanouts in Valparaiso and Chesterton?
Yes, Porter County garages are a weekly stop.
Q 07What about the second fridge in the garage?
It goes too, to a licensed appliance recycler for refrigerant recovery.
Q 08Can I get a same-week window?
Usually. Call early in the week for the best choice of days.
Point at it. The Northwest Indiana crew takes it from there.
Tell us what is going and when. The crew calls back with a window and a ballpark, and the exact price gets confirmed on site.
