What affects garage cleanout pricing
Volume
Biggest factor. A garage where you can still park is different from a garage you haven’t seen the floor of in 5 years.
Heavy items and appliances
Refrigerators (Section 608 fee), riding mowers (fuel/oil drainage), snowblowers, water heaters — these add to the load. With volume pricing, built in. Some have scrap value that reduces net cost.
Hazmat presence
Old garages routinely have paint, fuel, propane tanks, pool chemicals, pesticides. We can’t take these — we’ll separate and you handle through Kane County hazmat events. Sorting time built into quote.
Access
Driveway-accessible garages are easiest. Detached garages or backyard structures require more carrying.

Items we WILL take and route appropriately:
