House Cleanouts Across Southern New Hampshire.

Selling, moving, downsizing, or finally dealing with the house that's been collecting for thirty years. We bring the truck (or the dumpster) and the labor to load it, and we get it cleared.

When this is the right call.

House cleanouts cover the full-property jobs where there's too much stuff for a one-day haul-away. Selling a property and need it cleared before the listing photos. Moving and leaving behind everything that won't fit in the new place. Inheriting a relative's home and not sure where to start. Renovating and clearing the previous owner's leftovers. Whatever the reason, the job's the same: someone has to come in and get it all gone.

How it works.

Start with a call. Describe the rooms, roughly what's in them, and the timeline. For larger jobs we may want an in-person walk-through. From there we'll work out whether the job runs as a truckload visit or as a dumpster on the driveway you can clear at your own pace.

For occupied homes where you want to keep certain items, mark them or move them into one room before the work starts.

Truckload vs dumpster.

If you want it done in a day and out of your hands, a truckload visit is usually the better move. A crew handles the loading and hauls it off the same visit. If you'd rather sort and load at your own pace over a week, a dumpster gives you the time. Bigger full-house jobs sometimes use both: a truckload to clear the contents, then a 20-yard dumpster for the renovation debris that follows.

Donations.

If there's furniture, appliances, or household goods worth saving, the cleanest move is to handle the donation pile yourself in the days before our visit (drop at a local charity or schedule a charity pickup). Some charities will even offer pick up for large donatable items.

What we can't haul.

Liquid paint, motor oil, gasoline, and other hazardous or flammable liquids. Those go to your town hazardous waste collection day. Larger items (couches, mattresses, refrigerators, freezers, window AC units, hot tubs) may carry a small per-item disposal fee. Full list of what's accepted and what's not →

Common questions.

Do we need to be home during the cleanout?

No, as long as the access is sorted (door unlocked, garage code, lockbox, whatever works). If you want certain items kept, mark them or move them into one room before the work starts.

Can we keep certain items?

Yes. Pull anything you're keeping into one room or one corner before the visit, or mark it with a sticky note. The rule of thumb on a cleanout is: if it isn't flagged, it goes.

What happens to items in good condition?

The cleanest move is to drop them at a local charity yourself or schedule a charity pickup before our visit. Some charities will even offer pick up for large donatable items.

What can't be hauled?

Liquid paint, motor oil, gasoline, and other hazardous or flammable liquids. Those go to your town hazardous waste collection day. Car batteries, tires, and propane tanks we can take.

Do you do occupied homes or only empty properties?

Both. Occupied homes are fine. Empty properties are easier on logistics, but cleanouts happen all the time in houses where people are still living.
