Property Cleanouts
If your garage holds everything except a car, you're not alone. We clear out boxes, old furniture, broken appliances, exercise equipment, everyday clutter and years of "I'll deal with it later" so you can actually use the space again.
Start by deciding what stays, then set aside anything hazardous like paint, fuel and chemicals for a household hazardous waste drop-off. Mark keepers with tape or move them to one side. Pacific Haul & Wash hauls everything else in one visit and can pressure wash the garage floor and apron afterward.
Take them to a household hazardous waste facility, not the trash. City of San Diego residents can book a free appointment at the Miramar HHW Transfer Facility, Wednesdays and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Unincorporated County residents can call 877-713-2784. Haulers like us cannot take hazardous materials.
Some people sort ahead of time, others want everything gone. Either way works. Mark what stays and we'll haul the rest. Old paint, fuel and chemicals are hazardous and can't go in our trailer, so set those aside for a county household hazardous waste drop-off.
Once it's empty, we can pressure wash the garage floor and driveway apron for a true reset.

Most single-garage cleanouts take a few hours, depending on how full it is and how much sorting is needed. Text photos and we'll give you an estimate of both cost and time.
Yes. We take down free-standing shelving and haul old workbenches. Shelving bolted to the wall can be removed if you want the space cleared.
No. Sorting ahead helps, but you can also point out what stays as we go. Paperwork and keepsakes are set aside if you ask.
