Tell us as much or as little as you want. No photos required, no judgment, no obligation.
A hoarding cleanout is usually arranged by someone responsible for the property rather than the person in it. We work with whoever can provide access, approve the scope, and confirm what stays.

The first question is almost never about price. It is whether a crew of strangers is going to walk in and make somebody feel small. We do not work that way, and we never have.
Belongings hold memories, practical value, or meaning that is not obvious to anyone else. We listen first, confirm what has to stay, and move only according to the plan we agreed on together.
The discretion matters, but so does knowing the job will actually get finished.

Since 2008 on the shoreline, and hoarding cleanouts have been part of the work the whole time. Nothing in the house is going to surprise us.
Our own trucks and containers mean a multi-load project runs back to back instead of stalling between rentals.
We walk the property first and price on the actual volume. If something unexpected turns up mid-job, we talk to you before it changes anything.
Owner, crew, and truck are licensed and insured. Floors and doorways get protected on the way out.
We live and work here, from beach cleanups to Project Oceanology. Reputation is the only thing keeping the phone ringing.
Every hoarding situation is different. These are the areas we are called into most.

Furniture, clothing, paper, packaging, and the accumulation that made the rooms hard to walk through.
Expired food, containers, and packaging cleared out so the space can be cleaned and used normally again.
The rooms that filled first and got closed off. We work them at no extra charge, however tight the access.
Overflow that moved off the property. Sheds, barns, and rented units cleared in the same project.
Vehicles, appliances, scrap, and materials that built up outside where the neighbors can see it.
Usable items routed to local organizations, recyclables separated, and everything else disposed of properly.
Sensitive cleanouts need a clear plan and a respectful pace. We confirm the decisions already made before any work begins.

Tell us which areas need attention and what must stay. No photos required and no pressure. We only need enough to understand the scope.
We agree on what can be taken, who answers questions during the job, and how many loads it is likely to be. Then you get the estimate.
Our team removes the approved items carefully, keeps communication clear throughout, and leaves the space ready for whatever comes next.
No photos, no walkthrough of anything you are not ready to show, and no commitment at the end of it. Most people call to find out what is even possible before deciding anything.
A difficult cleanout puts a lot of pressure on whoever is responsible for it. Here is how it went for people in the same position.

"Oh my goodness, where do I begin? From first contact to job completion there is nothing negative to say about Just Dump It. The house we needed cleaned out was a hoarders haven from top to bottom. Maybe not the worst, but plenty bad. Old mattresses that were stained, cigar boxes filled with 40 years of receipts for every bill ever paid. The floor was covered with garbage. Broken refrigerators (at least 3), old window air conditioners. Barrels of lead and brass. Did I mention hoarding? It didn't matter. The team of four came in and just "dug" right in. Literally. Using shovels, they quickly moved from room to room. They were courteous, had a great sense of humor, and made sure that anything that might have value - monetary or sentimental - was checked with us before tossing. They came across my father-in-law's old army dress uniform hat from WWII and asked if we wanted to keep it. And, my goodness, a number of times they brought folded up dollar bills and handed them to us. Did I say they were honest? It would have been so easy to just put the money in their pocket. Honestly, we would have never known. It didn't matter if it was only four dollars. It wasn't tossed or put in their pocket but brought to us. When the job was done, they cleaned up each room, sweeping it and cleaning it as much as possible with 80 years of dirt, dust and yes, I'll say it, filth. I cannot recommend Just Dump It more highly. Have not hired a company for this type of work before, but should the need arise, I will definitely use them again. Great job! You won't be sorry if you hire them for any job, big or small."
"The whole team was great. A project that would have been a big headache for me to deal with myself was taken care of quickly and efficiently, and it is a huge relief to have it off my shoulders. We had to clean out a property that was occupied by a hoarder. We filled up multiple dumpsters and hauled away an abandoned vehicle that I had been trying for years to get off site. No one complained about having to deal with some pretty gross stuff. They were able to explain if any items would incur additional charges (tires, mattresses, freon). They were diligent in cleaning up inside and outside- it was a windy day and some stuff blew around on its way into the dumpster. The pricing was very fair and clear. They showed up when they said they would show up. They called when they were on their way. They did what they said they would do. If that seems like a "low bar" then you haven't worked around many contractors! Hopefully I don't encounter another hoarder situation anytime soon, but if I do, I'll be sure to give Tom and the crew a call!"
"I was looking for someone to clear out under my deck, but I had read negative reviews about 1-800-GOTJUNK. I saw Just Dump It on Google, filled out the form and got a phone call the next morning. I made an appointment for the next morning. They were here a little early, looked at my stuff and asked if that was all I had. I showed them the basement back room and asked if they could empty that except for a very few items. They were here approximately 2 hours and cleared everything out. They even swept up my back room! Gary and John were both wonderful! Polite, personable and hard-working! I could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them for any clean out jobs."
"I rarely post reviews but my experience with Tom and Just Dump It was exceptional. We had a move across town with a large move of furniture plus lots we needed to dump/donate. Tom and his crew were on time, had great communication and did a great job wrapping/moving the furniture with care. They took great care with my Mom to make sure furniture, rugs etc were placed exactly how she wanted it. I would use them again for any future moves or clean outs!"
"Amazing job! Ranch house with basement completely cleaned out and swept. Carpets removed. Everything done in 1 day. I can’t say enough how much Tom made us feel so comfortable with the job. He is also very honest and brought us back a box that had some family jewelry in it that we had overlooked. I highly recommend Just Dump It for estate and junk removal. Cost of job was very reasonable for the amount of work that was done."
"I called Just Dump It to clean out a garage last year figuring I'd rather call someone local than one of the national chains. My experience was so good it was a no brainer to call them to manage my same day move in/out cleaning at 2 different locations. Tom is easy to work with, works hard, does the job for a fair price and sweeps up after to leave the space ready to use. I highly recommend him!"
"Tom and his crew were wonderful! I inherited and needed to clean out a home and these guys were efficient, professional, friendly, and careful. They paid attention to what they were doing and when they came upon anything that might have sentimental value they ran it by me before removing. Great experience - I highly recommend this company."
"Wow! I had been so overwhelmed with… things! 80 years of thingssss. Both of you guys were great, on time, can do no problem, efficient, organized and broom swept- in 2 hrs. Thank you so much. Support small/local businesses folks, these are the people in our neighborhoods and I’m grateful."
