The building where things go when nobody is ready to decide about them.

Pull anything you're keeping into the driveway before we arrive. Everything left inside goes, and the job runs faster and cheaper.

Garage cleanouts are the most satisfying job we do and the one people put off longest, usually for the same reason: the decisions are harder than the lifting. Half of what is in there is genuinely useful and the other half has been useful-in-principle since 2011.

The way that goes best is simple. Before we arrive, drag anything you are definitely keeping out into the driveway. Everything still inside when we get there is going. That removes the decision-making from the middle of the job, which is where it usually stalls, and it makes the whole thing quicker and cheaper.

Paint, Antifreeze and What Cascade County Will Take

Nearly every Great Falls garage cleanout turns up the same shelf: half-used paint cans, a jug of antifreeze, some pesticide from a previous owner, a can of solvent with no label. None of that can go in our truck, and any hauler who tells you otherwise is either dumping it illegally or about to hand you a problem.

Cascade County runs household hazardous waste collection, and the practical approach is that we set that material aside in one place during the cleanout, label it clearly, and tell you what the next collection window is. Latex paint is the exception worth knowing: dried out completely, it can go in with regular waste, and a bag of cat litter stirred into the can does that in a day or two.

The other regular find is tyres. They have a separate disposal fee everywhere in Montana because they are banned from ordinary landfill cells. We take them and we itemise the charge rather than burying it, because four tyres can move a quote noticeably and nobody likes discovering that at the end.

Common Questions

Can you take old paint?

Not in liquid form. Dried-out latex can go with regular waste, and we will show you how to dry it. Oil-based paint, solvent and pesticide need the county household hazardous waste collection and we will point you at the next one.

What about a garage full of a previous owner's stuff?

Very common when a house sells. That is a straightforward full clearance and usually a single day.

Do you take the shelving too?

Yes if you want the walls back. It adds a bit of time, and we quote it separately so you can decide.
