- When to call

The usual size for a garage in Clermont
A 20-yard dumpster is the usual choice for a garage cleanout in Clermont. It is about 22 feet long, 8 feet wide and around 4.5 feet tall, and it holds the boxes, furniture and old flooring from a garage that has filled up over years. A small garage, or a garage that is only part full, may need a 10-yard, and the provider can explain the size from what is in the garage.
Garages fill up in every part of Clermont. The new subdivisions along Wellness Way and US 27 have garages that fill up with moving boxes and furniture that never found a room. The older homes near downtown Clermont and in Kings Ridge have garages that have filled up over decades, with tools, paint, old flooring and furniture that was kept just in case. Both kinds of garage are a 20-yard job, once the material is sorted and broken down.
Sorting a garage before loading
Sort before you load, and the cleanout goes twice as fast. Three piles, in three parts of the garage: what stays, what goes in the container, and what never goes in a container. What stays is the tools and the boxes worth keeping. What goes in the container is the furniture, the boxes, the old flooring and the household junk. What never goes in a container is paint, solvents, batteries, tires, asbestos, motor oil, appliances with refrigerant, and medical waste — the prohibited items page lists them all.
Break the material down as you load. Furniture taken apart stacks flat and takes up half the space of furniture left whole. Boxes broken down stack flat. A mattress is the one item that does not break down, and it goes in last, on top, where it does not block the rest of the load. Load the heavy material low and the light material high, and keep the load level with the rim.
How a garage cleanout dumpster is arranged in Clermont
The provider delivers the container to the driveway, with boards under the rails to protect the surface. The driver needs about 22 feet of clear driveway for a 20-yard, plus room for the truck to back in. Move cars out of the way before the delivery, and keep the spot clear of low wires and branches. The container sits in the driveway for about a week, and you load it over the rental period at your own pace.
When the container is loaded, call for pickup, and the truck takes it to the Lake County facility. If the garage is not finished when the period ends, ask the provider about extending it before the last day — or arrange a swap, so a full container leaves and an empty one arrives, and the cleanout keeps moving.

A typical rental runs about a week, and a cleanout takes days because the sorting takes longer than the loading. Ask the provider about the extension terms when you arrange the delivery.
