A family near Kendall Drive booked us for a Saturday morning with one goal: park both cars in the garage for the first time in six years. By noon, both cars were inside. Here’s how a garage cleanout in Kendall actually goes — what we hauled, how the morning ran, and what a job like this costs.
The Job: A Two-Car Garage With Zero Car Room
This garage had followed the standard Miami timeline. First a few boxes after a move. Then the holiday decorations. Then the treadmill that became a clothes rack, the futon from someone’s first apartment, the bikes the kids outgrew, scrap lumber from a fence project, and somewhere along the way, the cars started living in the driveway full-time.
The inventory by the end of the morning: a broken treadmill, two particleboard bookshelves, a futon, an old microwave, a dead mini-fridge, four trash bags of outgrown clothes, a stack of moving boxes that had never been unpacked, and a pile of lumber and fence pickets.
How We Did It
Two-man crew, about three hours, with the homeowners making the calls:
- Zones first. We set up keep, donate, and haul zones in the driveway before touching anything — the same method from our guide to the five garage cleanup mistakes Miami homeowners make. The homeowners decided; we moved.
- Loaded as we went. The haul pile went onto the truck continuously instead of building a second mountain in the driveway. By the time decisions were done, loading was nearly done too.
- Sorted for a second life. The futon and bookshelves went to donation, the treadmill and mini-fridge went out as scrap metal for recycling, and the leftovers were disposed of properly — including the old paint cans in the corner, which we handle the right way rather than leaving them for the regular trash.
One truckload later, the family was sweeping out a garage floor they hadn’t seen in years.
What a Garage Cleanout Costs in Kendall
Most Kendall garage cleanouts land between $350 and $550 — that’s half-truck territory, typical for a cluttered two-car garage. A garage that’s packed wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling can run into full-truck pricing at $700–$900+. Volume is the main driver, and you get a firm on-site quote before any work starts. Full details are on our garage cleanout service page and in the 2026 Miami pricing guide.
Worth knowing: if you do the sorting yourself over a weekend and just need the junk pile gone on Monday, that’s a smaller load and a smaller bill. Plenty of customers split the work that way.
Why Kendall Garages Fill Up Fast
Kendall is classic suburban Miami — single-family homes, real garages, and driveways that quietly become the parking plan. With hurricane season looming every June, a usable garage isn’t just about convenience: it’s where the patio furniture, grill, and plants need to go when a storm spins up. Clearing the garage in spring is one of the most practical storm-prep moves a homeowner can make.
We’re in Kendall constantly — it’s one of our busiest service areas. See our Kendall junk removal page for everything we haul in the neighborhood.
