When a dumpster suits a garage cleanup
A dumpster can be practical if you want several days to sort and load everything yourself. Ask about rental time, permitted materials, weight limits, delivery location and additional fees. The advertised rental price may not represent the full project cost.
Compare the work and complete project cost
Full-service hauling is different: a crew lifts, loads and removes approved items after you approve an onsite quote. Compare disposal fees, your labor, time, potential extra trips and access. Sorting reusable items before pickup may reduce the volume. Hazardous or restricted materials require separate handling.
How a JunkPDX crew estimates the garage
JunkPDX offers a free, no-obligation onsite estimate. Photos help with an initial range, but the final price depends on truck space, weight, access and any special handling. You approve the final price before loading begins. Same-day service depends on availability; the crew is closed Sundays.
