Hoarding cleanouts are some of the most involved residential work we do. They're also some of the most rewarding — because a property full of decades of compulsive accumulation, when it's empty, looks like the family member can come home to a livable space. Or the estate can sell. Or the tenant can be re-placed. Or the responsible party can sleep through the night again.
We approach this work the same way we approach every other cleanout: walk the property, scope the work, quote the project, do the job. The difference is volume, density, and time. Multi-day. Multi-truck. Multi-crew sometimes. Always with the family or fiduciary in the loop on what's getting hauled.
We do not judge.
Who this is for
- Family members confronting a parent's, sibling's, or adult child's hoarding situation
- Social workers managing APS (Adult Protective Services) cleanouts
- Landlords and property managers after a tenant eviction
- Executors handling estate hoarding scenarios — see also Estate Cleanouts
- Fiduciaries with court authority to clear a property
- Mental-health professionals coordinating environmental cleanup as part of treatment plans
Most of our hoarding cleanouts come through referrals — families who heard about us from a social worker, a probate attorney, or a prior customer. We treat each call with discretion.
What we do
- Initial call. 10-15 minutes. We get the scope (single-family / apartment / multi-property), the responsible party (family / social worker / executor / landlord), and the access situation. We schedule a walkthrough.
- Walkthrough. On-site with the responsible party. We assess severity, scope, biohazard level, access constraints, and any items the family wants flagged for special handling (heirlooms, documents, photos, financial records, prescriptions).
- Project quote. Written estimate with visit count, daily crew composition, and total expected timeline. Pricing structured per-visit so the family knows what each day costs and can adjust scope mid-project if needed.
- Cleanout begins. Crew arrives. We work layer-by-layer, room-by-room. The family or social worker is welcome on site; many sessions happen with continuous on-site oversight, others happen with brief check-ins.
- Sort, route, haul. Donatable items routed to charity partners; hazmat triaged out (CT DEEP channels for chemicals, batteries, medications); biohazard handled with PPE.
- Multi-day scheduling. Cleanouts run in scheduled blocks across consecutive days, with break days when the family needs them.
- Final walkthrough + documentation. Property hand-off-ready. Visit log, itemized invoice, donation receipts.
Working with social services, family, and fiduciaries
A few patterns we've learned from years of this work:
- Family interventions work best when the family has agreed on scope before we arrive. Disagreements about what stays vs. goes slow the work and add cost. The walkthrough is the right time to surface those conflicts.
- Social-worker-coordinated cleanouts often include emotional check-ins between work blocks. We schedule accordingly. The family member at the center of a hoarding situation often needs breaks; the cleanout doesn't have to be a single sprint.
- Documentation matters in APS and court-supervised situations. We provide visit logs, photo documentation, and itemized invoices suitable for case files. Mention documentation needs at kickoff.
- Privacy is a real concern. Discreet dispatch (unmarked trucks, off-hours scheduling, back-of-property access) protects the family from neighbor speculation. We do this routinely; just say so.
Junk removal — truck-space pricing (per-visit basis for multi-day work)
When loading the dumpster yourself isn’t the right call — small volume, awkward access, or you just want it gone today — we send a crew. Pricing runs by truck space used, not by item. Final pricing confirmed before removal begins.
- Minimum Load$145
- 1/8 Truckload$195
- 1/6 Truckload$250
- 1/4 Truckload (~5 yd³)$295
- 1/3 Truckload$340
- 3/8 Truckload$395
- 1/2 Truckload (~10 yd³)$455
- 5/8 Truckload$535
- 2/3 Truckload$615
- 3/4 Truckload (~15 yd³)$655
- 5/6 Truckload$690
- 7/8 Truckload$745
- Full Truckload (~20 yd³)$795

Get a Free Junk Removal QuotePricing for hoarding cleanouts
Junk-removal pricing — same canonical 13-tier ladder we use across all residential work — but the visit count multiplies with severity:
- Mild hoarder condition (clutter throughout, no biohazard, walking paths intact): 4-6 visits × $455-$795/visit = $2,500-$5,000
- Moderate (rooms unusable, paths only, light biohazard): 7-12 visits = $5,000-$10,000
- Severe (true Level 4-5 on the Clutter Image Rating scale, significant biohazard): 12-20+ visits = $10,000-$20,000+
- Estate hoarder cleanouts (combine with estate cleanout considerations): $5,000-$15,000+
For very large estates, we sometimes add a 30/40-yard roll-off for bulky items alongside the junk-removal crew visits — the combination handles bulk and selective sorting in parallel.
Standing terms for fiduciaries who manage multiple hoarder properties per year: call (203) 219-8855 to discuss billing flexibility.
What we don't do
- Severe biohazard cleanup. Active decomposition, severe vermin infestation, blood/bodily-fluid contamination scenes need a specialized biohazard cleanup company. We refer out and come in after the abatement.
- Pest extermination. If active rodent or insect infestation is present at meaningful scale, exterminator first. We can clear the structural material after.
- Mental-health intervention. We're not therapists. The person at the center of a hoarding situation deserves professional mental-health support — which is upstream of the physical cleanout.
- Family conflict resolution. We do the work the responsible party authorizes. Internal family disagreements about scope are the family's to resolve.
Why us
- No judgment. Operational tone, dignified handling, no shaming the family member at the center.
- Discretion. Unmarked dispatch available, off-hours scheduling, neighbor-invisible work.
- Multi-day capacity. We can sustain a multi-week project without dropping continuity.
- 16,000+ jobs since 2014. Hoarding cleanouts have been part of the dispatch since the early days.
- Family-owned. Same crew. Same phone number. Justin handles sensitive intake calls personally when needed.
