You Paid for That Square Footage. Use It.
Your garage was built for a car. Right now it holds broken bikes, a lawnmower that hasn't started in years and forty unlabeled boxes. Meanwhile your actual car sits in the driveway every Connecticut winter, buried, scraped and salted.
Your basement was supposed to be the playroom, the home gym or the workshop. Instead it's a damp storeroom of everything nobody wanted to decide about, and after the last heavy rain, half of it smells.
A crew fixes both in one visit. They empty it, haul it and sweep the floor clean enough to paint. And then? The car goes back in. The treadmill you'll actually use goes downstairs. The house feels bigger.
Why garages and basements fill up here
Greater Hartford has a lot of older houses, and older houses have basements that collect water and stairs that make hauling hard. In Hartford, four in ten housing units were built in 1939 or earlier. Boxes that sat on a damp floor for years are often ruined, and moldy cardboard and soaked carpet aren't things you want to carry up the stairs yourself.
Why the town won't take it all
Most garage and basement cleanouts are a mix: furniture, metal, electronics, paint, boxes of small stuff and bags. Town curbside programs usually take only part of that. East Hartford's curbside pickup won't take items in bags or cardboard boxes, or electronics. Farmington's bulk weeks take up to ten bags of small items and nothing longer than six feet. A crew takes the whole mix in one trip and sorts it at the truck.
What you do, and what the crew does
You decide what stays. The crew does everything else: carrying, sorting donations from recycling and trash, loading and sweeping.

What Usually Comes Out
The things that usually come out of Greater Hartford garages and basements.
Bikes, toys and sports gear
Outgrown bikes, old hockey bags, sleds, kids' toys and broken play equipment.
Lawnmowers and snow blowers
Dead mowers and blowers, which several towns require to be drained of gas and oil first.
Water-damaged boxes and furniture
Soaked cardboard, warped furniture and moldy rugs from a basement that took on water.
Old paint
Latex and oil-based paint go to a PaintCare drop-off site, not the trash. Ask the crew whether they can take sealed cans there, or drop them at a PaintCare site yourself.
Exercise equipment
Treadmills, ellipticals, weight benches and home gym frames, carried up from the basement.
Shelving and workbenches
Metal shelving units, built-in workbenches and storage racks, taken apart on site.
Holiday decorations
Fake trees, broken lights and decades of seasonal bins.
Old tools and hardware
Rusted tools, coffee cans of screws and the hardware nobody will ever use, with metal sent to scrap recycling.
Old electronics
Box TVs, monitors and printers, which Connecticut bans from the trash, sent to electronics recycling.

Garage & Basement Cleanouts Questions
Can a whole garage go in one trip?
Often. A crowded two-car garage or a full basement can need more than one load. You'll know at the quote.
Can water-damaged items go?
Usually. Soaked boxes, wet carpet and moldy furniture are common basement jobs. Tell the crew about mold or sewage contamination when you call, since some loads need special handling.
Will the crew help me sort?
Yes. Point at what stays and the crew piles it aside, or tell them to take everything in a section.
What about old paint cans?
Leftover paint goes through Connecticut's PaintCare program, which has drop-off sites around the state. Empty, dry cans can usually go with the rest of the load.
What about car batteries and motor oil?
Connecticut doesn't allow lead-acid batteries in mixed trash, and waste oil is a mandatory recyclable. Several town transfer stations, including East Hartford's, take both. Ask the crew about them when you book.
