Reston is one of the most planned communities in Northern Virginia — cluster homes, lake-view condos, townhouses stacked next to single-family neighborhoods. What all of these have in common: garages and storage spaces that fill up fast, and HOAs that have opinions about how you clear them out.
At DMV Go Junk, we've done hundreds of garage cleanouts across Reston — from Lake Anne to South Lakes, from Hunters Woods to North Point. Here's exactly what a garage cleanout costs in Reston in 2026, and what to expect when you book.
Reston Pricing Breakdown
We price every job by truck space — how much room your items take up in the trailer. There are no hourly rates, no per-item fees beyond special surcharges. The price you're quoted is the price you pay.
| Load Size | What It Typically Fits | Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| 1/8 Load | Single item — old sofa, appliance, few boxes | $99 – $149 |
| 2/8 Load | Small pile — corner of a garage, 4–6 items | $199 – $299 |
| 3/8 Load | Partial cleanout — one wall cleared | $249 – $349 |
| 4/8 Load | Single-car garage, half trailer | $349 – $449 |
| 6/8 Load | Two-car garage, most of the trailer | $549 – $649 |

What Makes Reston Different
Reston isn't your typical Northern Virginia suburb. It was designed in the 1960s as a planned community — which means the housing mix is unlike anywhere else in Fairfax County. That mix affects how junk removal actually works.
Cluster Homes and Shared Driveways
Many Reston neighborhoods — particularly around Lake Anne, Hunters Woods, and Tall Oaks — use cluster housing with shared courts and limited vehicle access. We're used to working in tight spaces. We carry items by hand to the truck when necessary, and we always confirm access before we show up.
Older Homes with Decades of Accumulation
Reston's original homes date back to the late 1960s. A lot of our Reston jobs involve garages that haven't been properly cleared in 20 or 30 years — old paint cans, rusted tools, gym equipment from three fitness trends ago, holiday decorations nobody remembers buying. These cleanouts tend to run 4/8 to full load.
Newer Construction Near Reston Town Center
The Reston Town Center corridor has seen a wave of new condos and mixed-use developments. These jobs are different — smaller spaces, elevator access, stricter HOA rules about move-out times. We handle both ends of the spectrum.
Special Item Surcharges
Most items go at the standard load rate. A few require special handling at the landfill and carry a separate fee. We always tell you about these before we touch anything:
| Item | Surcharge | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Mattress / Box Spring | +$50 | Recycling facility fee, per unit |
| Fridge / Freezer / AC (part of larger load) | +$70 | Freon recovery required by EPA |
| Fridge / Freezer / AC (single item pickup) | $150 | Freon recovery + haul away |
| Tires | +$30 each | Disposal facility charge per tire |
| Electronics (TV, monitor, computer) | +$50 | E-waste recycling fee |
✅ No surprise charges on-site. We confirm everything before we load. If something in your garage carries a surcharge, you'll know before we start.
HOA & Cluster Community Rules
Reston Association manages one of the largest HOA footprints in Northern Virginia. If you live in a Reston cluster community — Lake Anne Village, Hunters Woods, North Point, South Lakes, Tall Oaks, Glade, or Lakepoint — there are a few things to know before booking:
- Working hours: Most Reston HOAs allow work between 8am and 5pm or 6pm on weekdays. Weekend restrictions vary by cluster.
- Truck access: Some clusters have shared courts where large trucks can't enter. We carry items to the truck parked on the street — no extra charge for this.
- No dumping on common areas: We load everything directly into the truck. We never stage items on common grass or parking areas.
- Elevator booking: In condo buildings near Reston Town Center, you may need to book the service elevator in advance. We work around your building's schedule.
⚠️ Not sure about your HOA's rules? Text us your address and we'll help you figure out the access situation before booking. We'd rather spend 5 minutes on this than show up to a blocked driveway.
Condos & Townhouses
A significant portion of Reston's housing stock is condos and townhouses — and these jobs come with their own quirks.
Storage Units Inside Condo Buildings
Many Reston condos have small storage cages in the basement. These fill up fast — old furniture, ski equipment, boxes that were "temporary" in 2019. We carry everything out, floor by floor if needed. Most of these jobs run 1/8 to 2/8 load — $99 to $299.
Townhouse Garages
Reston townhouse garages are typically smaller than detached homes. A standard Reston townhouse cleanout — if it hasn't been cleared in a few years — usually runs 3/8 to 4/8 load, or $249 to $449. We can usually knock it out in under two hours.
Multi-Level Townhouses
Some Reston townhouses have items spread across three floors. We carry from every floor at no extra charge for normal stairs. If your situation is unusual — very narrow staircase, heavy items on the top floor — tell us before we arrive and we'll plan accordingly.
