Full Home Cleanout Services

Full Home Clean outs (Trash outs)

One thing we specialize in at Sasquatch Junk Removal is providing full home cleanout services. This can also be called a trash out. A full home cleanout may be required for multiple reasons. Some of the situations we’ve been called in to do a trash out include:

• ·         Foreclosed home cleanout
• ·         Eviction cleanout
• ·         Death of a family member
• ·         When a family is moving a loved one into an assisted living facility
• ·         Hoarder cleanout
• ·         Retail store closure cleanout

When doing a cleanout, we can complete the process in multiple steps depending on the items that we are removing and the condition of the home or business.

With some cleanouts, we are able to donate many of the items that we pick up. So the first step we take is to go through and carefully remove any items that can be donated and bring them to charities all around the Seattle area, such as Goodwill, Value Village, St. Vincents, Etc. Donating many of the items we haul not only keeps reusable items out of the landfill, but it also helps lower our operating costs, which we pass on to our customers by offering lower prices than most of our competitors.

When we are doing a hoarder cleanout, we typically have to bring most of the items to a transfer station because the items are generally not in good enough condition to be donated.

The second step in the process is to go through and remove all of the items that cannot be donated, load them up, and take them to one of the transfer stations in the area. All transfer stations charge by weight. Our volume pricing covers transfer station costs, labor, gas, and time. Some jobs do require additional hourly charges. Most full home clean outs require multiple trips to the transfer station to be completed.

Then, we go through the home and clean up and bag all of the smaller items. Some homes require an extensive amount of cleaning up and bagging of smaller items such as random trash, broken glass, etc. When needed we use large shovels inside of houses to pick up all of the junk that gets left behind. You know it’s bad when we have to use shovels on the INSIDE of a house!

Lastly, we do a walk through to make sure we have picked up every item. We make sure to check everything from cabinets and closets to the refrigerator and dish washer.

5 Things to Think About When Cleaning Up After Your Tenant

There are a few steps you have to take when cleaning up after your tenant. Before making a decision, some things to consider are:

1 - How soon do I need to have the items removed?

If you have a new tenant that is ready to move in and you are in a rush to get the items removed, I would suggest giving us a call. In most cases we will be able to come out the next day. In some instances, we can even be there on the same day!

If you are not in a hurry, I would suggest going through some of the items to see if there is anything you can use, or maybe anything someone else you know can use. (Remember: not all “junk” is actually junk. We donate many items that are still usable) Then, after you have looked over the items, give us a call. We will come haul away the stuff that you don’t want.

2 - How much junk did the tenant leave behind?

If there are only a few smaller items and you have the time, I would suggest handling the items yourself. Why not save some money? (Remember: If you are not sure where to bring some of the items, give us a call and we will happily do our best to let you know where to take them.)

On the other end of the spectrum, if there are many items and you don’t have the time or the equipment to get rid of them, give us a call. We will send out a crew to do all of the heavy lifting, loading, and disposing for you. If you are out of the area, or you just don’t want to deal with it, call us, we are glad to help you in any way possible.

3 - Do I need to hold the cost of removing the items from my tenant’s damage deposit?

It really depends on the contract you have with your tenant. In most cases, I would say yes. You need to take the cost of having the items removed from your tenant’s damage deposit. My advice would be to go over your contract to make sure the damage deposit will cover the cost of removing their junk.

4 - Can any of the items left behind be donated or recycled?

In most situations, many of the items will be able to be donated or recycled. On average, when we do a clean-out of household items we are able to donate between 60-75% of the items we pick up. Of course, there are certain jobs where everything is trash and it all needs to be taken to a transfer station, but we do our best to sort through the items and recycle and donate as much as possible.

5 - How much will it cost to have Sasquatch Junk Removal haul this stuff away for me?

It depends on how much junk there is. Like most other junk removal companies, our rates are based off of volume. So it depends on the size of the job. Our rates start at $65 and they go up to $480 for a full load. Some cleanouts even require multiple truck loads to be completed.
