The Madison garage that's been accumulating for 5, 10, or 20 years. Old tools, broken equipment, paint cans, the lawnmower that hasn't started in three summers. We handle all of it in one trip. Wisconsin winter equipment sorting. Paint and household chemicals routed properly.
Madison garages are typically attached 2-3 car configurations with substantial winter equipment storage. Snowblowers, ice fishing gear, hockey equipment, and lawn equipment add notable garage volume. Many properties include accumulated outdoor recreation equipment for the Wisconsin lakes culture.
Most garage cleanouts in the Madison metro run a half-day to a full day depending on size. A standard two-car garage with moderate accumulation runs the lower-middle of the price range (1-2 truckloads). A three-car garage or a workshop with substantial accumulated contents runs the upper range (2-4 truckloads). The biggest variable isn't square footage — it's contents density. A two-car garage filled floor-to-ceiling is more work than a three-car garage with empty space.
What makes garage cleanouts distinctive operationally: the special handling. Paint, propane tanks, old chemicals, batteries, fluorescent lamps, and other hazardous-classified materials can't go in standard MSW disposal. We route those streams to the appropriate destinations — PaintCare for architectural paint where Wisconsin has an active program, HHW (household hazardous waste) facilities for chemicals, R2-certified recyclers for batteries and electronics, EPA Section 608 refrigerant recovery for any old appliances. This is the part most quick-and-cheap haulers skip; we don't. JRP runs route coverage across Dane, Iowa, Rock, and Columbia counties, with substantial basement and winter-equipment volume given the housing stock and climate.
Plus the surrounding Dane, Iowa, Rock, Columbia counties. Coverage extends across the entire the Madison metro area.
What's included in Madison garage cleanouts
Pricing for garage cleanouts in Madison is volume-based and typically falls within $310 – $1,850. Three factors shift price within that range: (1) volume of contents (the biggest driver), (2) access difficulty (stairs, narrow hallways, no driveway access add labor time), and (3) special-handling items (pianos, hot tubs, safes, large appliances with refrigerant). We disclose these factors during the quote rather than after the job.
What's included in the price: labor, truck and disposal fees, donation routing to Goodwill Industries of South Central Wisconsin, Habitat for Humanity Dane County ReStores, The Salvation Army Madison, photo documentation, basic post-job cleanup. What's separately priced if applicable: hazardous waste handling (paint, chemicals, propane tanks), specialty items requiring extra equipment.

Architectural paint routes to PaintCare drop-off where Wisconsin has an active stewardship program. In states without active PaintCare, we coordinate with local HHW facilities. Household chemicals (cleaners, pesticides, automotive fluids) route to HHW. We don't put hazardous materials in MSW disposal.
Yes. EPA Section 608 requires certified refrigerant recovery before disposing of any appliance containing refrigerant. We handle this as standard scope. Donation-eligible appliances in working condition route to Habitat ReStore or similar partners.
Hardened/solidified latex paint is generally treated as standard solid waste and can go in MSW disposal in most states. Liquid latex paint requires PaintCare or HHW routing. Oil-based paint requires HHW routing regardless of condition. We separate paint on-site and route streams appropriately.
Yes, but tires have separate disposal fees in most states ($3-$8 per tire typical). State scrap tire programs route to certified tire recyclers. We include small-volume tire handling in standard scope; larger quantities (10+ tires) are priced separately.
Yes, basic broom-sweep is included. Concrete-clean is what we aim for — not detail-clean. For pre-listing situations where you need the garage truly photo-ready, we recommend a separate cleaning service after our work.
Tell us the property address, garage size (1, 2, or 3-car), and what's in there. Photos help — one wide shot is usually enough.
