SAME-DAY SLOTS AVAILABLE
St. Matthews garages sit on 1950s–70s ranch and colonial lots, and most of them are either detached at the back of the property or a single- or two-bay attached reached by a narrow side drive. There is no wide apron to empty the whole bay onto, so the job runs differently than it does out in the newer suburbs.
Blake and Brennin's crew works these in stages instead. The truck backs to the closest point it can reach, one section of the bay comes out at a time, and the drive stays passable the whole time. Nothing gets dumped across the lawn.

These bays hold a long time. Homes here change hands slowly, so a St. Matthews garage often carries two or three owners' worth of storage behind the last thing anyone put in it.

What Comes Out of St. Matthews Garages
How It Works
Detached or attached, how tight the side drive is, and whether the truck can reach the bay door. That is what sets the crew size here — more than how full the garage is.
One section of the bay comes out at a time to the closest reachable point, gets sorted, and gets loaded before the next section moves. The drive stays open and nothing sits on the lawn overnight.
Because it moves in sections, you decide in batches rather than all at once. Anything staying goes back before the crew moves to the next section.
The number comes after the walk-through and before anything moves. Cash, cards, debit, checks, or Cash App. Seniors and veterans get 10% off.
The Haulaway Junk Removal Difference
Most St. Matthews bays are reached by a single-width drive with mature trees on both sides. The crew sizes the truck and the approach to that instead of assuming an apron that is not there.
Sections come out, get sorted, and get loaded in sequence. You are never looking at your whole garage sitting on the grass while somebody decides what to do with it.
Homes here turn over slowly, so these bays often hold more than one household's worth of boxes. The crew plans for volume behind the front layer.
The bay gets swept, anything you kept goes back where you want it, and the drive is clear. You should be able to park the same afternoon.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a garage cleanout cost in St. Matthews?
It comes down to volume and weight — how full the bay is and how much of it is appliances, scrap metal, or built-in shelving. Access matters too, since a detached bay at the back of a narrow drive takes longer to load than one the truck can back up to. The estimate is free and confirmed on site before anything moves. See our full pricing guide at /pricing/, or call (502) 340-7359.
My garage is detached at the back of the lot. Is that a problem?
No, it is the norm here. The crew brings the load out to the closest point the truck can reach and works in sections so your drive stays usable. Mention it when you call so the right crew size is scheduled.
Will you take shelving that is built into the walls?
Yes. Wood shelving, bolted metal racks, pegboard, and overhead storage all come out if you want them gone. Say so on the walk-through so it is in the quote.
What about paint, propane, and chemicals?
Those we cannot take. Paint cans, propane tanks, motor oil, pesticides, and pool chemicals have to go through household hazardous waste. Set them aside and the crew handles everything else.
Can you come today?
Often yes, if you call before noon. Mon–Fri 8am–6pm, Sat 8am–1pm. When today is booked, next-day is almost always open.
TESTIMONIALS
FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
"Brennin and team were the absolute best. We had a hot tub and several other large items that needed to be hauled away. Brennin responded almost immediately and gave me a very reasonable quote, same day. Their crew was prompt, courteous and left no mess at all. I've hired a lot of home related companies in the Louisville area and put them at the top of the list for value, quality and customer service."
"Brice and Zach were great. The whole team was fast, and priced fairly. They squeezed me in at the last second. I would recommend them and use them again!"
"I called with what was essentially an emergency junk removal and needed everything gone the same day since it was my only day off work. Brennin was fantastic from start to finish. The service was prompt, professional, and reasonably priced. If you're looking for reliable junk removal with outstanding customer service, I highly recommend Haulaway Junk Removal!"
Why the St. Matthews garage is a different job
St. Matthews built out through the 1950s to the 1970s as brick ranches and colonials on established lots. The garages that came with them are mostly detached at the rear or a single- to two-bay attached, and both are reached by a side drive one car wide with mature trees crowding it.
That one fact changes the whole approach. There is no wide concrete apron to empty the bay onto, so a crew that shows up planning to stage everything outside ends up stacking it on the lawn — or blocking your only way in and out for the afternoon.
Working in sections instead of all at once
The crew brings out one section of the bay, sorts it at the truck, and loads it before touching the next section. The drive stays passable, the grass stays clear, and you make decisions in batches rather than standing in front of everything you own at once.
It is slower per square foot than a driveway cleanout and faster overall, because nothing gets handled twice. Anything you keep goes back into the bay before the crew moves on.
What actually comes out of these bays
Houses here change hands slowly. A St. Matthews garage often holds one household’s storage stacked in front of the previous owner’s, and the front layer is rarely the whole job — that is the part worth flagging on the walk-through so the truck is sized right the first time.
Renovation leftovers are the other constant. Kitchen and bath upgrades are steady in this corridor, and the old cabinet doors, trim, tile, and spare appliances tend to land in the garage rather than leaving the property.
