The car has been in the driveway since the kids were small. Behind the door: paint cans, three broken mowers, the leftover drywall from the bathroom, and boxes nobody has opened since the move. Our crew clears garages across Cass, Morgan, and Sangamon County, sweeps the slab, and gives you the space back.
Most garages are a half-day job for the crew. But if you want to go shelf by shelf and decide what stays, a 15 yard dumpster parked beside the garage for a few days works just as well. It sits on tires, so the driveway looks the same when it leaves.
Full-service garage junk removal. Point at the wall you want empty and we carry, load, haul, and sweep. Most garages are done before lunch, and the mower bones go to the scrap yard, not the landfill.
The 15 yard is the classic garage cleanout size, about six pickup loads. Keep it 1 to 7 days, toss as you sort, and text when it is full.
A garage is where the hazardous stuff lives, so this list matters more here than on any other job. Jacksonville and Springfield both have drop-off days for oil and paint, and we will tell you where the closest one is. Text a photo to (217) 624-7066 if you are not sure and we will tell you what to do with it.
Searching garage cleanout near me gets you a lot of trucks that will grab the easy stuff and leave the workbench bolted to the wall. L&J’s brings the tools to unbolt it, the trailer to hold it all, and a broom for the slab. One flat rate from a single photo, and the car goes inside that night.
Roll the door up, take a picture from the driveway, text it to (217) 624-7066. A flat-rate price comes back, usually the same day.
Pull the keepers to one side, or just point when we arrive. Anything you are unsure about, we set in the driveway for a final look before it loads.
Metal and appliances to the recycler, usable items to donation, the rest to the landfill. Shelving and workbenches come off the wall if you want them gone.
We sweep the slab, stack anything you kept where you want it, and pull out. Park the car inside that evening.

L&J’s Junk Removal charges a flat rate for a garage cleanout based on how full it is, from a quarter of a single-car garage to a two-car packed to the door. Appliances and scrap are included, not added on. Text one photo from the driveway to (217) 624-7066 and you will have the exact price, usually the same day, or use the estimate form.
L&J’s Junk Removal handles garage cleanouts and garage junk removal in Springfield, Jacksonville, Virginia, Beardstown, Ashland, Pleasant Plains, New Berlin, and every town in Cass, Morgan, and Sangamon County. The crew is out of Virginia, IL, right on Route 125, so most garages in the area are a short drive for us. Call or text (217) 624-7066 to schedule.
Rent a 15 yard dumpster from L&J’s if you want to sort shelf by shelf over several days and do not mind carrying things out. Hire the L&J’s crew if you want the garage done in a morning with the freezer and workbench included. The dumpster holds about six pickup loads, which is a typical two-car garage. Book a dumpster or text (217) 624-7066 for the crew.
No. L&J’s cannot haul paint, used oil, gasoline, antifreeze, tires, or car batteries because the landfill will not accept them. We take everything else from the garage and point you to the household hazardous waste drop-offs in Jacksonville and Springfield for the rest. Set those items aside before we arrive and the job goes faster. Questions about a specific item? Text a photo to (217) 624-7066.
Both. L&J’s Junk Removal does garage demolition for detached garages that are leaning, rotted, or in the way of a new build. We empty it, take the structure down, and haul lumber, roofing, and contents in one job. Concrete slabs need a conversation first because of weight. See our shed and deck demolition page or text photos of the building to (217) 624-7066.
Yes. L&J’s hauls the second fridge and the chest freezer on every garage cleanout, working or not, and recycles them properly. If the freezer still has food in it, leave it and we will handle it. Heavy appliances are carried out on a dolly, not dragged across the slab. Include them in your photo when you request an estimate so the price covers them.
Most garage cleanouts L&J’s runs in Jacksonville and Springfield take two to four hours with the crew and trailer. A two-car garage stacked to the rafters with construction leftovers and a freezer can take most of a day. You get the timeline with the estimate so you can plan the afternoon. Text (217) 624-7066 with a photo and we will tell you what to expect.
Yes. Shed cleanout is one of the most common add-ons to a garage job. L&J’s empties the backyard shed, the lean-to, or the pole barn on the same visit for one combined flat rate, and if the shed is coming down, we do that too. Send a photo of each building to (217) 624-7066 and the estimate will cover both of them.
No. The whole point of hiring L&J’s is that you do not have to. Set aside anything you are keeping, or just tell us when we arrive, and the crew sorts scrap, donations, and trash as it loads. If you want the shelving and workbench to stay, say so and they stay. Get a free estimate or text (217) 624-7066.
Roll up the door, take one photo, and text it over. You get a flat-rate price for the crew to clear it, or book a 15 yard dumpster and work through it shelf by shelf over the week. Either way, the slab gets swept.
