JUNK-A-SAURUS🏠 HomeThe Ultimate Garage Cleanout Checklist
A garage cleanout feels huge until you break it into steps. Here's the simple version.
The checklist
- Pick a day and pull everything out where you can see it.
- Sort into 4 piles: keep, donate, sell, and junk.
- Group the keepers by type (tools, sports, seasonal) before they go back.
- Add shelving or hooks to get items off the floor.
- Get the junk gone — don't let it sit in the driveway for weeks.
What to do with the junk pile
That's where we come in. Junk-A-Saurus hauls off everything in your "junk" pile — old furniture, broken tools, paint cans, yard waste, you name it — and sweeps up after. One call and your garage is actually clean. Free quote: 801-516-9569.
How long a garage cleanout really takes
Most single-car and two-car garages clear in a few hours once you commit to it. The time sink is usually decision-making, not lifting — so handle the "keep, donate, sell, junk" call quickly and don't re-litigate every box. Pulling everything onto the driveway first makes the job feel bigger but go faster, because you can finally see what you actually have.
Work it zone by zone
If the whole garage feels overwhelming, split it into zones — back wall, side shelves, overhead storage, floor — and finish one before moving to the next. Knocking out a single zone gives you a visible win and momentum for the rest. Group keepers by category (tools, sports, seasonal, automotive) as you go so re-loading is quick and organized.
What gets tricky — and how we help
Garages hide the heavy, awkward stuff: dead appliances, old paint and chemicals, broken furniture, scrap metal, tires and remodel debris. That's exactly what we haul. Our crew brings a truck and trailer, does all the loading, and sweeps the floor when we're done — usually in a single visit.
What about cost?
Garage cleanout pricing is based on how much we haul, and you get an upfront quote before any work starts. Most garages are a single, affordable load — and we route metal and usable items to recyclers and donation centers instead of straight to the landfill.
Serving the Salt Lake & Utah valleys
Junk-A-Saurus is based in Draper and hauls across both valleys — including Sandy, South Jordan, West Jordan and Riverton in the Salt Lake Valley, plus Lehi, American Fork, Lindon and Orem down in the Utah Valley. Wherever you are, you get the same deal: a free, upfront quote, all the lifting and loading handled for you, and same-day service whenever we can fit you in. Call or text 801-516-9569 and we'll get you on the schedule.
