HCOB Property Services clears basements, garages, attics and sheds across Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Howard County. We carry everything out from wherever it sits — up the stairs included — haul it away, and sweep up after. A garage bay is usually a half load ($375) and a packed basement a three-quarter load ($525). Text us photos and we'll send a real price, usually the same day.
These are our published load prices — the same ones on our junk removal page. We quote from photos, so nobody needs to come out first.
| Load size | What it holds | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum load | A few items | $125 |
| Quarter load | A small room's worth | $225 |
| Half load | A garage bay or a full bedroom | $375 |
| Three-quarter load | A packed basement | $525 |
| Full load | A full garage or small apartment | $695 |
Every price includes labor, loading, hauling, disposal and sweeping up. Stairs are included — we don't charge extra because it's in the basement. Prices plus Maryland sales tax where applicable.
Your quote is the price. If the load is genuinely bigger than the photos showed, we tell you before we touch anything — you decide then.
Most haulers stop when the truck is full. Clearing a basement usually reveals the next job: dust and grime nobody's seen in years, carpet that should go, walls that need paint.
We can do it all in the same visit:
A doorway shot of each pile or room is enough. Nothing needs to be moved first — we price it as it sits.
We text back a firm number and the next open dates, usually the same day. No obligation.
Our crew carries everything out, from the basement, attic or back of the garage, hauls it away and sweeps up behind us.
Rowhome basements are tight. Steep, narrow stairs, low ceilings and basement-only access are normal in Baltimore rowhomes, and a lot of rowhomes have no driveway, just an alley or the street. Our crews are local and plan for that: how to get a sofa up a narrow staircase, where to park the truck, and what to carry out the back.
City bulk trash won't handle a basement. Baltimore City collects up to 3 bulk items a month on one assigned Saturday, booked through 311 at least 4 working days ahead, and you have to get everything to the curb by 7 a.m. It doesn't take construction debris, and tires only up to 4 with rims removed.
Baltimore County bulk pickup is twice a year. Single-family homes and townhomes get two scheduled collections, 3 items each, nothing over 8 feet. Items like carpets, metal sheds and lawnmowers need special preparation first. A garage or basement cleanout is usually far more than that.
City and County rules as of October 2026. Check 311 (City) or baltimorecountymd.gov (County) for current details.
Faces, addresses and anything personal kept out of it — but the work is real, and so are the results.
This West Baltimore basement had gone untouched for years — junk piled high and worn carpet on the stairs and floor. We hauled two truckloads, sorted and boxed what the family wanted to keep, pulled up the carpet and scraped the floor clean of old adhesive, then deep cleaned the space. A basement nobody wanted to walk into became clean, open, usable space.

Not for a garage or driveway pickup. For a basement or attic, we just need access — a key, a code or someone to let us in.
No. We take it from wherever it is — basement, attic, back of the garage. Stairs are included in the price.
Yes. We pull up old carpet, and we take drywall, lumber, flooring and fencing — things city bulk pickup won't. Heavy loads are quoted by weight before we start.
Yes. Add a deep clean, carpet removal or pressure washing, and the same crew does it in the same visit.
Usable items go to donation or recycling where we can, and the rest goes to a permitted disposal facility.
Paint, fuel, chemicals, asbestos and other hazardous materials. Ask anyway — we'll point you to who handles them.
A doorway shot of each pile or room is enough. Nothing needs to be moved first — we price it as it sits.
