Garage before and after cleanup. Left: cluttered with furniture, boxes, and debris. Right: clean, empty space with a few items against the wall.


If you’ve spent years stacking, storing, and “saving” items in your garage, you’re not alone. For many homeowners, the garage becomes the catch-all space—holiday decorations, broken appliances, old furniture, kids’ toys, scrap wood, leftover project materials, yard tools, and boxes that haven’t been opened in a decade. When winter rolls in and you suddenly need to park your vehicle indoors, that’s when the clutter becomes impossible to ignore. Our garage clean out and junk removal service is top-notch!


The good news? You don’t have to tackle the mess yourself. Schott Services, Indianapolis’ locally owned, owner-operated junk removal and hauling company, is here to help you reclaim your garage quickly, efficiently, and affordably. Whether you have a few bulky items or a garage packed wall to wall, no job is too big, too small, or too dirty.

So, if you’re asking yourself—“How do I clear out my garage before winter?”—this blog post is your complete guide. We’ll walk you through why a garage cleanout is worth it, what Schott Services can remove, and how working with a dedicated, hands-on small business makes all the difference.

The Hidden Cost of a Cluttered Garage

A cluttered garage is more than an eyesore. It creates real problems that impact your daily life:

1. Losing the Ability to Park Indoors

Indianapolis winters mean freezing temperatures, frost, and snow. Parking outside not only adds time to your morning routine but also exposes your vehicle to unnecessary wear and tear. A clean garage solves all of that.

2. Creating Safety Hazards

Stacks of items can fall. Boxes can hide pests. Sharp edges or rusty tools can cause injuries. Clearing out junk reduces risks—especially for families with kids or pets.

3. Wasting Valuable Space

A garage is one of the most versatile areas of your home. It can be a workshop, a home gym, extra storage, or a dedicated parking space. Clutter steals that opportunity.

4. Stress and Mental Clutter

Messy spaces lead to mental stress. Reclaiming your garage brings clarity, order, and peace of mind.

This is where Schott Services comes in—offering a painless and professional solution to take back your space.
