Property Cleanouts in Eagle Lake, FL

Whole-house and garage cleanouts in a town of 3,000

Eagle Lake has been small since John Bingham bought 160 acres on a knoll between the lakes in 1880, and it's still small. The brickyard, the turpentine mill and the packing houses are gone. What's left is a few dozen streets of block homes, some lakefront places, and yards with room for a shed, a boat and a burn pile. The cleanout calls come from those yards: a carport that became a storage room, a garage that hasn't seen a car in years, a whole house when the family sells.

Rob walks it first, in person or by FaceTime, and counts loads. A block house with a full carport is usually one full trailer and a half. Both trailers come. Still-good furniture is sorted out as the crew loads, case by case, usually for Goodwill or the Salvation Army. Anything that looks personal or valuable gets set aside and shown to you.

Downsizing out of a 1960s block home

A lot of Eagle Lake homeowners have been in the same house since the Crystal Beach Pavilion still had a dance floor, and now the kids are moving them somewhere smaller. That's a different pace than a move-out. The crew pulls the furniture out into the yard so you can see it, opens the closets, and works a keep, donate and go system as you decide. Nothing personal goes on the trailer without a look. If the family wants a room a day over a week instead of one long day, each load is quoted the same way and the total doesn't change.

The county's free hazardous waste drop-off at the North Central Landfill is minutes up US-17, so the paint, old fuel and pool chemicals from the shed get set by the door and ride in your trunk instead of on the trailer.

Eagle Lake rides along with Winter Haven and Bartow

At 33 minutes from the yard by US-27 and US-17, Eagle Lake fits onto a Winter Haven or Bartow run, so a walkthrough often happens within a day of your call and the cleanout a day or two after. Many calls before noon get done the same day. The crew sweeps floors and the driveway before leaving. Cleaning and repairs are a different trade. When it's a parent's house being cleared for a sale, Eagle Lake also has an estate cleanout page.
