Batavia homeowners call Junk Nurse for garage cleanout throughout Batavia and the surrounding Fox Valley. Batavia’s old limestone homes and Island Park bungalows are some of our favorite jobs — but they’re also tight, narrow, and not built for modern furniture.
What We Remove in Batavia
Garage cleanouts are 90% of the time the same story — the car hasn’t fit in there for 3 years. We sort the keep pile, haul out the rest, and sweep the floor when we’re done. You park the car inside that night. We work Island Park, downtown Batavia, the bluffs along Wilson Street, and every neighborhood between — from compact townhomes to acreage properties on the rural fringe.
- Old paint cans, motor oil, and chemical buckets (handled responsibly)
- Lawn mowers, snowblowers, and broken yard tools
- Bikes, sports gear, and dusty exercise equipment
- Workbenches, shelving units, and cabinets
- Boxes you haven’t opened since you moved in
If you’re not sure whether we’ll take something, just ask. Text a photo to (630) 294-1340. We say yes to almost everything — the only items we won’t haul are household hazardous waste (paint solvents, pesticides, certain chemicals), and even then we’ll tell you exactly where to drop them off locally.
The Junk Nurse Difference in Batavia
Alex Welsch started Junk Nurse after 15 years working as a registered nurse. The nursing approach — show up on time, do the job right, treat the property like it’s yours — carries straight into every garage cleanout job we run in Batavia. We’re $1M liability insured, we have 47+ five-star Google reviews, and the price we quote is the price you pay. Period. No surprise fees at the end, no “we found more weight than expected,” no upsell at the door.
Batavia is a small town that punches above its weight. We treat every job here like the neighbors are watching — because they usually are. We’ve done plenty of cleanouts in the historic homes on the east side of the river where stairs are steep and doorways are narrow. We bring the right gear. Batavia is part of our home territory in Kane County, not a market we drive into from out of town. We know the streets near the Fox River bluffs, we know historic limestone-era homes, narrow lot bungalows near the river, and newer Mill Creek subdivisions, and we know how to get a truck in and out without anyone noticing we were there.
That local knowledge matters more than people think. A driveway in Island Park isn’t the same as a driveway in the bluffs along Wilson Street. A basement in a 1970s ranch in Batavia isn’t the same as one in a 2015 build. We’ve seen the layouts, we know what gear to bring, and we don’t waste your morning figuring it out on arrival.

How Garage Cleanout Works in Batavia
- Quote on the spot — We swing by, look at the garage, and give you a flat number. Usually within an hour of your call.
- Keep / toss sort — You tell us what stays. We do the actual lifting and sorting.
- Floor-to-ceiling clear — Shelving, workbenches, garage door rails — if you want it gone, it’s gone.
- Swept clean — Concrete swept, sometimes blown. You walk in tonight to a garage that finally fits the car.
Why Batavia Calls Junk Nurse
National chains route their trucks from a dispatcher in another state. Their crews don’t know Batavia, they don’t know which way the traffic moves on Randall Road at 3pm, and they don’t know that the alley behind your block barely fits a pickup. We do. We’ve been working Kane County since day one, and we treat every Batavia job like our reputation depends on it — because in a town this size, it does.
Our trucks are clean. Our crews wear uniforms. We text you when we’re 20 minutes out. We park where you want us to park. And when we leave, the only sign we were there is that the garage cleanout you wanted gone is, in fact, gone.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does garage cleanout cost in Batavia, IL?
Most Batavia garage cleanout jobs land in the $250–$950 range, depending on volume, access, and what we’re hauling. We give you a flat quote up front — not a ‘starting at’ number that goes up when the truck pulls away. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Do you offer same-day garage cleanout in Batavia?
Most garage cleanouts can be done same-day if you call before mid-morning. A 2-car garage is usually a 2-3 hour job for our crew. Batavia is well inside our regular service area, so we can usually get there fast.
Will you take old paint and chemicals from my Batavia garage?
We handle them responsibly. Latex paint we can dry out and dispose of. Oil-based paint, solvents, and pesticides go to a household hazardous waste facility — we coordinate the haul so you don’t have to drive it yourself.
