Hoarder cleanout in Johnstown

A hoarder cleanout empties a home where years of belongings have filled the rooms. Liberty Junk Removal does this work in Johnstown and across Northern Colorado. It can mean a bedroom door that only opens halfway and a single path from the front door to the back.

You don't owe anyone a story about how the house got this full. Before loading starts, look for the papers you'll want back, like deeds and tax records, because in a packed house they can be in any pile. Sorting what can be donated from what's trash takes more care here than on an ordinary pickup, and that sorting is part of the job.

What goes on the truck

• Bags of clothes and linens
• Stacks of paper and mail
• Boxes and bins never unpacked
• Buried furniture and mattresses
• Broken appliances and old fridges
• Old TVs and electronics
• Dishes, pots and pans
• Garage tools and old bikes

These are the usual pieces on this kind of job, not the whole list.

From the full list of what goes on the truck: home cleanouts.

What does a hoarder cleanout usually include?

Usually the whole house, and often the garage and basement as well. There are bags of clothes and stacks of mail, with the furniture buried underneath. The couch and the old fridge are in there somewhere. It's the same mix as the household items from a home cleanout, in much bigger amounts. Liberty Junk Removal hauls it on a pickup with a 6x12 open trailer or a 7x14 dump trailer, with the Liberty Junk Removal logo on the truck doors.

This is its own service, separate from house and garage cleanouts and from the estate cleanout a family books after someone passes away. Family members book it for a parent's or a sibling's home, and landlords and property managers book it for a rental they need to turn over. If the house is your own, you can book it yourself.

How much does a hoarder cleanout cost?

It starts at the $125 minimum. Past the minimum, the price moves with how much of the truck the load fills, and a two-bedroom house packed wall to wall fills far more of it than one crowded spare room. Loading, hauling and disposal are all part of the quote, so no dump fee gets added as a separate line.

Photos are harder with a packed house, because the piles hide what's behind them. Text a photo to (970) 634-6969 from each doorway, since a wide shot shows more than a close-up of one stack, and send the garage and basement too.

Where does everything from a hoarder house go?

Anything usable heads to Habitat for Humanity and thrift stores before anything else, and a packed house often hides more of it than the family expects. A solid dresser under the laundry or a box of good hand tools in the garage can still go to someone who'll use them. Clothes and linens in decent shape can head to a thrift store. Metal like an old bed frame or a broken grill gets recycled as scrap. The TVs and computers stacked in a spare room go out as e-waste.

Real trash, like spoiled food and paper nobody can use, ends up at the landfill.

How does a hoarder cleanout work from the first text?

It starts with a reply to your text or call. For a whole house packed this full, it's worth asking for an in-person look before the quote. Once you say go, the job is booked with a one-hour arrival window and an ETA.

A lot of people with a full house assume they'll have to drag it all to the curb, or pitch in loading the trailer, before anyone will haul it. They don't. Liberty Junk Removal goes in and carries it out of every room and up the basement stairs. The owner once did an emergency hoarder cleanout on their day off, so a customer's house would be enterable for an inspection the next day.

What won't be hauled from a hoarder house?

Gasoline, diesel and medical or biohazard waste can't go on the trailer, and any of it can turn up in a packed house. Paint can go, and the cans tend to collect in the garage and the hall closet. Bottles of cleaner pile up under the sinks, and those need a question first. In a bathroom or bedroom there may be old medical supplies, used sharps included.

Mention the fuel and the medical items when you send the photos so they're kept out of the quote. If a room holds biohazard waste, say so before the job is booked so nobody is surprised on the day. Any gas can that turns up halfway through a pile gets set aside and left behind. A chemical bottle that turns up gets set aside until you've asked about it. Everything else in the house can go.
