Fairfax Garages: Keep What Works, Lose the Rest
Fairfax garages tend to be two-car spaces in split-levels and colonials around Mosby Woods, Fairfax Villa, and Mantua — and after 20 or 30 years, they've become storage rooms with a car parked outside. Most of our Fairfax calls aren't "take everything." They're "take the soaked boxes, the old tires, and the broken stuff, and leave the shelving and the treadmill." We walk it with you first and price only what leaves.
🚗 Goal: Park the Car Inside Again
That's the most common request we get in Fairfax. We clear a path, move what stays to the walls, and take the rest — usually in about an hour.
How It Works
Walk-Through First
We confirm what stays — shelving, bins, tools — before anything moves.
Old Tires & Cords
Tires ($35 each, up to 4), extension cords, and broken yard tools — all gone.
Water-Damaged Boxes
Soaked cardboard and moldy storage cleared out without you touching it.
Big Items Moved or Removed
Treadmills and bikes relocated to a corner — or hauled away.
Swept Floor
Dust and debris swept before we leave.
I-66 Transfer Station
The rest goes to Fairfax County's licensed facility nearby.
Before — years of accumulated boxes, tires, and clutter covering the floor.
A Recent Job — Fairfax Garage Cleanout
This Fairfax garage had reached the point where parking a car in it wasn't an option anymore. Soaked cardboard boxes covered most of the floor, mixed in with loose tires, old extension cords, and a broken ride-on toy. The homeowner didn't want everything gone, though — the shelving stayed, a few storage bins stayed, even the treadmill stayed, it just needed to move out of the walkway.
Working through the clutter — sorting what's going from what's staying.
We walked the garage together first, confirmed what was staying, and got to work. An hour later, the floor was clear — not an empty garage, but a usable one. The job came in as a 3/8 load.
After — floor cleared, treadmill relocated to the back corner, shelving kept in place.
Fairfax Garage Junk: City vs. County Rules
In the City of Fairfax, the City collects large items curbside for single-family homes and townhomes on its schedule. In Fairfax County addresses, most homes rely on an HOA or private hauler with its own bulk rules. Either way, nothing comes out of the garage for you — and contractor debris isn't collected.

"I highly recommend DMV Go Junk. The owner, Matt, was a genuinely courteous and professional gentleman. He arrived when he said he would and quickly removed a mattress and box spring for me. It's nice to do business with someone who is dependable and treats customers with respect."

No — most Fairfax jobs are partial. Tell us what stays (shelving, bins, the treadmill) and we price only what leaves.
We take tires ($35 each, up to 4 per job). We can't take hazardous materials like paint thinner, chemicals, fuel, or propane tanks — Fairfax County runs household hazardous waste drop-offs for those.
City of Fairfax homes get curbside large-item collection from the City, on its schedule — but the items have to be at the curb, and contractor waste isn't collected. We carry it out of the garage the same day.
We're about 25 minutes away in Herndon. Call or text by 12 PM for same-day service on most days.
