The Valley's tech corridor — Intel, Microchip, Ocotillo, Fulton Ranch — full of master-planned HOA family homes and relocation churn. We clear the packed garage as flat truck-fill from $325 and load it from inside the garage, never the curb. No HOA fine, no service tax.

Upload a Photo & Get Quote →Open the door, stand at the driveway, take one wide shot. That's enough to size the truck-fill and quote a flat price in seconds — no walkthrough, no salesperson in your driveway.
Same or next day is usually open. Gated subdivision? Send the gate code or add us to the visitor list. June through September, take the earliest slot — a closed garage gets brutal by mid-morning.
The crew works from inside the garage straight to the truck. Nothing gets staged on the driveway or the curb, the floor gets swept, and the door closes on an empty bay.
Priced as truck-fill from your photo — you pay for the fraction of the truck your stuff actually takes up, not a per-item tally. Loading, the sweep-out and the disposal are all inside the number.
| Volume | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Quarter truck (2/8) — a corner of the garage | $325 |
| 3/8 truck | $455 |
| Half truck (4/8) — one full bay's worth | $580 |
| 5/8 truck | $690 |
| Three-quarter truck (6/8) | $790 |
| 7/8 truck | $890 |
| Full truck (8/8) — a packed 2–3 car garage | $985 |
Smaller than a truck-fill? A loose pile is $110 small, $174 medium, $280 large. And the heavy single items people call about most price on their own if that's all that's going: treadmill $155, home gym $192, metal shelving $95 — bikes, weights and weight benches ride along inside a truck-fill rather than being counted separately. $75 minimum on very small jobs. Arizona doesn't tax the removal service, so nothing is added at the end.
Outside context: third-party cost trackers put a typical Phoenix-metro junk-removal job around $226–$237, and national franchises price the same work by truck fraction with an on-site estimate — College HUNKS publishes roughly $150–$750, with a half truck around $350–$500. The difference isn't only the number, it's that ours is fixed before we drive rather than confirmed while you stand in the garage.
| Option | Cost | Speed | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wait for the city bulk schedule | Free | Weeks | Chandler sets its own dates — and your HOA's staging window is shorter than the wait, so the pile is a violation before the truck arrives |
| Roll-off dumpster in the driveway | Weekly rental + tipping | Delivered in days | An HOA appearance violation waiting to happen, it eats the driveway for a week, and you still load every box yourself in the heat |
| Self-haul it yourself | ~$55/ton gate rate × multiple runs | A full weekend | Several trips to the transfer station in a borrowed truck; the SR-85 landfill isn't open to the public, so you're routing through a transfer station either way |
| Traditional full-service, on-site estimate | ~$150–$750 (half truck ~$350–$500) | 1–3 days | Someone has to come look at it before you get a number, and the number can move once they're standing there |
| JunkRabbit | $325–$985 flat truck-fill | Same / next day | None — flat photo price, loaded from inside the garage, swept, donation-routed |
Chandler runs its own bulk-collection schedule, separate from the City of Phoenix program. Check your dates and your rules directly with the City of Chandler — we're not going to quote you a suburban schedule from a webpage, because these programs get retooled and the version you find on a hauler's site is usually a year out of date.
Here's the part that's true no matter what the calendar says, and it's the reason this page exists: your city sets a schedule, your HOA sets a shorter window, and the two are in direct conflict. The city's answer to a garage full of stuff is "wait for your collection day and put it at the curb." Your covenant's answer is "that cannot sit out there." In a master-planned subdivision like Ocotillo or Fulton Ranch, where streetscape appearance is the whole product the association is selling, the staging window is measured in hours, not days — and the enforcement letter arrives faster than the truck does. Residents in Chandler's HOA neighborhoods get caught in that gap constantly.
For contrast, look at what the biggest city in the Valley did to its program. The City of Phoenix — not Chandler — moved bulk trash to an appointment-based model: a maximum of four collections per calendar year, scheduled up to three business days out, with items placed out no more than seven days ahead. That's a real, published set of limits on the metro's largest program, and it tells you the direction all of these are heading: fewer collections, tighter staging rules, more friction. A garage cleanout is not a four-times-a-year problem you can plan around a municipal calendar.
Our answer sidesteps the conflict entirely: nothing is ever staged. The crew works from inside the garage directly into the truck on a scheduled pickup. Your driveway is never a pile, your curb is never a pile, and there's no window for anyone to photograph a violation. That's the whole pitch — we're not cheaper than free, we're the option that doesn't cost you a fine.
A Chandler garage is not a landfill load. Most of what comes out of one is usable — which is why the sort happens on the truck, not at the dump.
Donation first. Furniture, household goods, tools, kids' gear and sporting equipment in resellable shape go to Goodwill of Central & Northern Arizona, St. Vincent de Paul or a Habitat for Humanity ReStore, and we'll get you a donation receipt on request. For a family relocating out of state, that receipt is worth having; for the neighborhood, a working bike beats a crushed one.
Metal is recycled. This is a bigger share of a garage load than people expect: metal shelving, weight plates and dumbbells, bike frames, treadmill and home-gym frames, tool chests, the old workbench. All of it is scrap steel with a real market here.
E-waste is separated. The old desktop, the monitors, the TV that got replaced two upgrades ago, printers, cables and the box of chargers go to e-waste recycling rather than into a mixed load.
What genuinely can't be donated or recycled goes to a licensed transfer station. Valley disposal runs around $55/ton, which is why the truck-fill price can stay flat — there's no "heavy load" surcharge waiting at the end of your job.
There are no basements in Arizona. Chandler homes are on slab, which means the garage is the only bulk-storage space in the house — and a three-car garage will quietly absorb a decade of a family's life. That's not a hoarding problem, it's an architecture problem: everything that would be in a basement in Ohio is in the garage here. It's also why truck-fill pricing fits this city better than per-item pricing; nobody wants a line-item invoice for eleven years of accumulation.
Gate codes and visitor lists. A large share of Chandler's master-planned subdivisions are gated or have controlled entries. Send the gate code when you book or add the crew to the visitor list — it's a two-minute step that prevents a truck sitting at a call box while you're in a meeting.
Summer means early mornings. From June through September a closed Chandler garage runs far past 110°F — hotter than the air outside, because the door's been shut and the roof has been baking. We book early-morning windows in those months for crew safety, and honestly because the work goes faster and cleaner at 7 a.m. than at 2 p.m. If you're offered a sunrise slot in July, take it.
Driveways and streetscape. In Ocotillo, Fulton Ranch and the newer Price Corridor subdivisions, the driveway is part of the streetscape the HOA polices. We load from inside the bay outward specifically so the driveway never becomes a staging area, and we sweep before we leave.
"Relocating for work — cleared the garage and half the house before the move. Donation-routed, flat truck-fill price, HOA-safe, no tax line."
"Old couch and a spare fridge out of the garage. Photo, flat price, gone same-day, pulled from the garage so no HOA letter."
"Booked an early window, done before the heat. Fair flat quote, swept clean, no surprises."
How much does a garage cleanout cost in Chandler?
Truck-fill from a photo: quarter $325, 3/8 $455, half $580, 5/8 $690, three-quarters $790, 7/8 $890, full $985. Smaller jobs: loose pile $110 / $174 / $280; treadmill $155, home gym $192, metal shelving $95. $75 minimum, loading, sweep-out and disposal included, no Arizona sales tax.
Will my HOA fine me for staging it at the curb?
They can — the city's schedule and your covenant's staging window don't agree. We never stage anything; the crew loads from inside the garage straight into the truck.
Does Chandler run its own bulk pickup?
Yes, separate from Phoenix's. Confirm your dates with the City of Chandler. For contrast, Phoenix proper is appointment-based: 4 collections per calendar year, booked up to 3 business days out, items out no more than 7 days early.
Can you take the treadmill and the weights?
Yes — treadmill $155, home gym $192 as single items, or included in the truck-fill if the whole garage is going. Weights, bikes and benches ride along and go to metal recycling.
Do you need me there, and can you get through the gate?
You don't have to stay. Send the gate code or add the crew to the visitor list when you book, and tell us how to close up after.
Why the early-morning windows in summer?
A closed Chandler garage runs far past 110°F from June to September. Early slots are safer and the job goes faster.
Is it cheaper than a traditional full-service hauler?
Franchises price by truck fraction with an on-site estimate — College HUNKS publishes roughly $150–$750, half truck ~$350–$500, and third-party trackers put a typical metro job at $226–$237. Ours is flat, fixed from your photo, and includes the sweep-out.
They can, and in the Ocotillo and Fulton Ranch style subdivisions they do. This is the conflict nobody warns you about: your city sets a bulk-collection schedule, your HOA sets a much shorter staging window, and the two do not agree. The city says wait for your day. The covenant says it cannot sit out there. We resolve it by never staging anything — the crew loads from inside the garage on a scheduled pickup, so the driveway is clear before the truck leaves.
Yes. Chandler runs its own bulk-collection schedule, separate from the City of Phoenix program, and you should confirm your own dates and rules with the City of Chandler rather than trusting a junk removal website. For contrast, Phoenix proper is now appointment-based — a maximum of four collections per calendar year, scheduled up to three business days out, with items set out no more than seven days ahead. That is Phoenix's rule, not Chandler's, and it shows how tightly Valley cities have narrowed these programs.
Yes, and it is one of the most common single items here. A treadmill is $155 and a home gym is $192 as individual pieces, or they simply go into the truck-fill price if the whole garage is being cleared. Weights, bikes, weight benches and metal shelving all ride along in a truck-fill and are routed to metal recycling.
You do not have to stay for the whole job, but we do need access. For gated Chandler subdivisions, give us the gate code or add the crew to the visitor list when you book, and tell us where to leave the garage after. Plenty of our relocation customers are already at the office, or already in another state, when the garage gets cleared.
Because a closed Chandler garage in June through September runs far past 110 degrees. Crews work early for safety and because they work faster and cleaner in the morning. If you are booking between June and September, take the earliest slot offered — it is a better job for everyone.
Our number is flat and quoted from a photo before we arrive. Traditional full-service haulers price by truck fraction and confirm on site — College HUNKS, for example, publishes a range of roughly $150 to $750 with a half truck around $350 to $500, and third-party cost trackers put a typical Phoenix-metro job around $226 to $237. Our half truck is $580 with the loading, the sweep-out and the disposal already inside it, and no on-site renegotiation.
