I received extra customer service. I will definitely be using them again in the near near future I would recommend them to anyone needing to clean out their garage or house.
Garage and Shed Cleanout Dumpsters in Columbia, SC
A garage or shed cleanout is the job the 10-yard was built for. It holds about four pickup loads, sits on a normal driveway, and gives you two weeks to work through it a corner at a time instead of in one weekend.
The Right Size for It
Most single-garage and shed jobs fit a 10-yard. If you're clearing a garage and an attic together, or the garage has heavy stuff like old tile or a workbench, a 15 gives you the room without much more cost.
Work at Your Own Pace
The dumpster stays 14 days. Fill it as you go, and when it's full, call and we pick it up. You aren't paying by the trip.
What We Can't Take
Paint, oils, chemicals, batteries, and tires can't go in, which is most of what ends up on a garage shelf. Set those aside for the county household-hazardous drop-off and put everything else in the dumpster.
How to Work Through a Garage in Two Weeks
The people who finish easiest don't try to do it in a day. Sort as you go: one pile to keep, one small pile for the county hazardous drop-off, everything else straight in the dumpster. Do a corner a night or a wall each weekend, and save the shelves for last, that's where the paint and chemicals hide.
What a Garage Cleanout Weighs
Almost nothing, compared to construction debris. Boxes, old furniture, bikes, and yard gear are light, so the 1 ton on a 10-yard usually covers a packed single garage with room to spare. The exception is stacked tile, bricks, or bags of concrete mix on the floor. If you've got those, mention it and we'll plan for the weight.
The Weekend Version
1
Book by midweek
Order a 10 or 15 online and the dumpster is typically in the driveway before Saturday.
2
Sort as you load
Keep, county drop-off, dumpster. Shelves last, that's where the paint hides.
3
Call it done
Full or finished, schedule the pickup and reclaim the garage.
Close-to-Home Jobs
Garage and shed cleanouts are the quickest drops on the schedule, and most of them land close to the yard: Lugoff and Elgin first thing in the morning, the established streets of Lexington and Irmo, and the storm cleanups that follow a bad night of weather anywhere in Columbia. Five minutes from the yard or forty-five, the rental works the same.
The Two Sizes a Garage Cleanout Uses
A single garage or shed almost always fits the 10-yard, about four pickup loads with a ton of weight included. Add an attic, a basement corner, or a stack of old tile and the 15 buys the extra room without much more cost. Nothing bigger is worth paying for on a garage job.
What a Garage Cleanout Dumpster Costs in Columbia
A garage cleanout runs on the smallest dumpsters we carry, and the price works the same way as every rental: flat, with delivery, pickup, 14 days, and a ton of weight inside it.
Boxes, bikes, and old furniture are light, so a garage job rarely gets near the weight limit. Pull the exact 10 or 15-yard number on the booking page.

Three Loading Habits That Help
Flat and heavy on the bottom, boxes and light junk on top, and nothing above the rim so the truck can legally haul it. Sort the shelf chemicals into a county drop-off pile as you go instead of at the end. And load from the back wall forward, so you're not climbing over your own progress by Sunday.

Garage and Shed Cleanout Dumpsters Questions
What people ask us before they book. The full FAQ has the rest.
What towns do you cover for garage cleanouts?
Anywhere a truck goes, a garage cleanout goes. Most land close to the Lugoff yard, but Columbia, Lexington, and the long routes all get the same rental. Full list on the service areas page.
How much does a garage cleanout dumpster cost?
It's the smallest rental we do, priced flat like everything else. The booking page has the 10 and 15-yard numbers, or call (803) 408-9990.
How far ahead should I book a garage cleanout dumpster?
A garage cleanout is usually a weekend job, so book by midweek and the dumpster is typically in the driveway before you start. Delivery runs inside 24 to 48 hours, almost always the first 24.
Is a garage cleanout dumpster the same as a home cleanout dumpster?
Same rental, different scale. A garage cleanout usually fits a 10 or 15-yard. Clearing an entire house, an estate, or a rental property fills a lot more than a garage, and the home cleanout page covers how we size those.
What size dumpster do I need for a garage cleanout?
A single garage or shed almost always fits a 10-yard. Add an attic or a heavy workbench and the 15 gives you the room.
Can old paint cans go in a garage cleanout dumpster?
Wet paint can't. Dried, hardened paint is usually fine. Oils, chemicals, batteries, and tires are out too, and that covers most of what sits on a garage shelf. Set those aside for the county hazardous-waste drop-off.
How long do I get the dumpster for a garage cleanout?
14 days, same as every rental. Most garage jobs are done in a weekend, so there's no clock pressure. Work through it a corner at a time if you want.
