Hoarding cleanouts

Hoarding Cleanout Services

Serving Mesa, the East Valley and the Phoenix metro with upfront pricing.

When a home has filled up beyond what a normal cleanout covers, Haulo clears it room by room, discreetly and without judgment, keeping what you say stays and hauling the rest. Unmarked crew, insured, price confirmed before we start.

This page describes the job, not the person. A hoarding cleanout is a home with years of accumulated contents — furniture, boxes, bags, papers, clothing — where paths have narrowed and the rooms need to be cleared before anything else can happen: a sale, a move, a repair, or simply living there again. Haulo does the physical clearing. We work at the pace the family or the occupant sets, and nothing leaves that you have not agreed to.

Most of these calls come from Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler and Tempe; Scottsdale and Phoenix get same-day service too.

What this service handles

Whole-home or selected-room clearing where the volume is far beyond a normal cleanout.

  • Rooms cleared to the floor: furniture, boxes, bags and loose contents
  • Kitchen, bath and closet contents
  • Carpet pulled and hauled where it is being replaced
  • Garages, sheds and patios cleared with the house
  • Bagged trash and spoiled food (tell us how much)
  • Phased visits over days or weeks
  • A keep pile respected and left untouched
  • Move-out sweep of cleared areas

What we cannot take, and what we assess first

Two different lists. The first is a hard no; the second just needs a photo and a sentence before we confirm.

We cannot take

  • Biohazard conditions: bodily fluids, needles, active pest infestations — a remediation company handles those first
  • Paint, chemicals, fuel, propane and other hazardous material found in the home
  • Sorting, appraising or searching for valuables — we clear what is agreed and do not go through contents

We assess first

  • Paint — we can usually take it, but send a photo of the cans first
  • Occupied homes where the occupant will be present — we plan the visit around them
  • Medications, firearms, documents and cash — please remove them before we start; anything obviously personal we set aside
  • Structural or safety concerns: sagging floors, blocked exits, no lighting
  • Whether more than one visit is needed

What a hoarding cleanout costs

These jobs are priced on trailer volume and labor, confirmed from wide photos before loading, and they are almost always more than one load. What moves the number:

  • How many rooms are included and how full they are
  • How much is bagged trash versus furniture and boxes
  • Whether carpet and fixtures are coming out too
  • Access: narrow paths, stairs, long carries, parking distance
  • Whether the work is phased over several visits

Typical range: $329–$599 per load, and these jobs are almost always more than one load; we give the total up front. Have a budget? Say so — we would rather work with it than lose the job. We give the total honestly up front rather than surprising you with extra loads. Typical ranges for common jobs are on the pricing page; they are planning examples, not quotes.

How a hoarding cleanout works

  1. 01

    Send photos and access details

    Text wide photos of each room and tell us what stays and which rooms are off limits. Say whether the home is occupied.

  2. 02

    We confirm the scope, the price and an arrival window

    We reply with the number of loads, the price and a plan — one visit or several. The keep list is written into it.

  3. 03

    The crew removes the agreed items and cleans up

    The crew clears the agreed rooms to the floor, keeps what is marked, sweeps and confirms with you before leaving.

What happens to the contents

Usable furniture and household goods go to a donation drop-off on the route — Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity ReStore or St. Vincent de Paul, whichever is convenient and accepting that day. Metal goes to a scrap recycler. Everything else goes to a licensed transfer station or landfill. We do not sort through contents for value — that is the family's decision before we arrive. Haulo does not publish a diversion percentage.

Proof of actual work

Hoarding cleanout questions

Will the crew be discreet?
Yes. Nothing on the trailer or the crew says what kind of job it is, we do not discuss the job with neighbors, and we do not comment on the home.
Can the occupant be there and keep things?
Yes. A keep pile or a marked room is respected. If the occupant needs to check items as they go, we build that into the pace.
Can you do it over several days?
Yes. Many of these jobs go better in stages: clear the paths and the trash first, then furniture, then the rest. Each visit is priced on its own.
Will you sort out valuables or papers?
No. We clear what is agreed and set aside anything obviously personal we happen to see, but we do not search. Please go through documents, photos, cash and medication before we arrive.
What if there are pests or biohazards?
A remediation company needs to deal with those first; we can come in after. Tell us what you know and we will be straight about whether it is a job for us.
Do you clean afterwards?
We sweep the cleared areas. Deep cleaning, odor treatment and repairs are separate trades.
