We know this isn't easy. If you're reading this page, chances are you're dealing with something tough. Maybe you lost a parent and now you're staring at a house full of fifty years of memories. Maybe you inherited a property and it needs to be emptied before you can sell. Or maybe you're a realtor trying to get a foreclosure ready for market.

Whatever the situation, we're here to help. We're Local Junk Team, and estate cleanouts are one of the most important things we do. We don't rush through it. We don't throw everything in a dumpster without thinking. We take the time to sort through items, set aside things that can be donated, and handle everything with the respect it deserves.

Cleveland has a lot of older homes. The colonial doubles in Tremont. The big Craftsman homes in Lakewood. The ranch-style houses in Parma that families have lived in for three generations. These homes fill up over decades. Basements, attics, garages, every closet. When it's time to empty all of that, it feels overwhelming. That's why you call us. We've done this hundreds of times, and we know how to get through it efficiently while still being thoughtful about what we're handling.

We Sort Everything

We don't just throw everything away. Our crew goes through the property room by room. Items in good condition get set aside for donation. Recyclable materials go to recycling. Personal documents, photos, and anything you want to keep get separated and left for you or shipped to you. We've had families tell us they found photo albums and important papers they didn't even know existed because our crew took the time to sort properly.

We Work with Realtors and Attorneys

If you're a realtor getting a property ready for listing, or an attorney managing probate, we make your life easier. We coordinate schedules, provide before and after photos, and can work directly with whoever has the keys. A lot of real estate agents in the Cleveland area use us regularly because they know we'll get the job done right and on time. If you need the property broom-clean by a certain date, we'll make it happen.

Hoarder Situations

We handle these with zero judgment. Hoarding is a real condition, and the families dealing with it are often embarrassed or overwhelmed. We've cleaned out homes in Old Brooklyn and West Park where you could barely open the front door. Our crew is respectful, discreet, and experienced. We've seen it all. Nothing shocks us, and we don't make anyone feel bad about the situation. We just get to work.

How It Works

We keep it simple, even when the job isn't.

1

Free Walkthrough

We come to the property, walk through every room with you, and put together a detailed quote. No cost, no obligation. Call (216) 640-9193 to schedule.

2

We Sort & Clean Out

Our crew works room by room. We sort items into keep, donate, recycle, and dispose categories. You tell us what matters and we respect that.

Broom-Clean Finish

When we're done, the property is empty and swept clean. Ready for sale, ready for new tenants, or ready for whatever comes next.

Estate Cleanout Pricing

Every estate is different. A small one-bedroom apartment cleanout might run $500 to $1,000. A full 3-bedroom house with a packed basement and garage typically falls in the $1,500 to $4,000 range. Larger homes or hoarder situations can go higher. We always do a walkthrough first and give you an exact number. No surprises during or after the job. If we find more than expected once we start, we talk to you before doing anything extra.

We also offer multi-day scheduling for bigger jobs. Sometimes it makes sense to spread the work over two or three days, especially if you need time to go through personal items before we remove everything else. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.

Garage Cleanout

The garage is where everything goes to die -- old bikes, broken tools, paint cans, holiday decorations from 2004. When it's time to actually park a car in there again, or you're prepping a house for sale, our garage cleanout service clears the whole thing in a few hours, sweeps the floor, and hauls it all away in one shot.

Basement Cleanout

Cleveland basements flood. That's just a fact of life on the East Side and West Side alike. Water-damaged boxes, ruined furniture, moldy storage -- it all needs to go. Our basement cleanout team in Cleveland carries everything up those steep stairs, loads the truck, and gets rid of items you couldn't pay someone to take on a normal day.

Attic Cleanout

Cramped pull-down stairs, insulation dust, boxes from three generations -- attics in old Cleveland colonials are storage nightmares. Nobody wants to go up there, let alone carry stuff down. That's literally what we do. Our attic cleanout service handles the climb, the sorting, and the hauling so you can finally finish that renovation or get the house listed.

Storage Unit Cleanout

Paying $150 a month to store $40 worth of stuff you'll never use again? We hear it all the time. Whether it's your unit or one you inherited, our storage unit cleanout service coordinates with the facility, clears out everything in one visit, donates what's usable, and saves you from another month of rental fees.

Hoarder Cleanout

Hoarding situations are personal and overwhelming. We approach every job without judgment -- just a crew that knows how to clear a space safely, methodically, and with respect for the person living there. Our hoarder cleanout service in Cleveland works at whatever pace the family needs, from a single room to a complete home over multiple days.

Foreclosure Cleanout

Banks and realtors need foreclosed properties cleared fast and documented. We work with REO agents and property managers across Cleveland to empty out abandoned homes, take photos for records, and get properties listing-ready. Our foreclosure cleanout service turns around properties quickly so your listing doesn't sit with junk in the photos.

Move-Out Cleanout

Moving day is chaotic enough without worrying about the stuff you're leaving behind. Old furniture, broken boxes, things that didn't make the cut -- we haul it all on your schedule, even same-day. Our move-out cleanout service is built for tight timelines, landlord walkthroughs, and that "I need this gone before 5pm" energy.
