Whole-House Cleanouts · West Denver Metro
House Cleanout in Denver and the West Metro
A rental a tenant walked away from, a foreclosure, a house going on the market, or a home that simply filled up over the years. One owner empties it room by room, the basement and garage included, and hands it back with swept floors. Priced by the yard, with an honest list of the jobs I refer out.
The Short Answer
Most Whole Houses: $749 to $1,499+
$149 for the first 2 cubic yards, then $75 a yard. Most start around $524, and a second or third trip is never charged. Text photos of the rooms and you usually get a price back within 10 minutes during business hours. You approve the price on site before we start.
- One owner from walkthrough to final sweep, no rotating strangers in the home
- Registered & Insured, with a certificate of insurance the same day
- Lockbox or key access for landlords and agents who can't be there
What a House Cleanout Covers
What Is a Cleanout on a House?
A house cleanout empties a whole home, or most of one, in a single job: furniture, mattresses, appliances, boxes, clothing, kitchenware, and everything in the closets, the basement, the garage, and the shed. You point at what stays. Everything else is carried out, loaded, and hauled, and the floors are swept before you get the keys back.
A house cleanout service is the biggest job we do, and we count it in cubic yards, not rooms. Good-condition items sometimes go to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, big loads of scrap metal are recycled, and the rest goes to an STS transfer station. Heavy clutter is fine: rooms you cannot walk through and boxes stacked to the ceiling are a volume problem, and volume is what we do.
Looking for a plumbing cleanout? That is the capped pipe fitting on a house's sewer line, and it is a plumber's job. We clear the junk around it.
This Page: House Cleanouts
Move-outs, landlord turnovers, foreclosures, pre-sale clear-outs, and whole houses that filled up. The goal is an empty, swept house by a date, and speed matters more than sorting.
Clearing a Loved One's Home?
After a death or a move to care, the pace changes: slower sorting, keepsakes set aside, updates for family far away. That is our estate cleanout service, at the same price per yard.
The Jobs We See Most
Rental Turnovers, Foreclosures and Pre-Sale Cleanouts.
Landlords and Property Managers
A tenant walkout is one of the most common houses we clear. Send photos of each room and the turnover date. Leave a lockbox or a code, and you get photos of the empty rooms when it is done. Need a certificate of insurance for the file? It goes out the same day during business hours.
Foreclosures and Bank-Owned Homes
We work for whoever holds the keys: the owner, the listing agent, or the asset manager. Deciding what counts as left behind is their call, not ours. We clear what they authorize and text dated photos of every empty room for the file.
Selling, Downsizing, Moving On
The movers take what is going. Everything that is not coming along leaves with us, so the house is empty for the stager, the photographer, or the buyer's walkthrough. If it is only the last few things after moving day, see the move-out cleanout page.
Speed
The Fastest Way to Clean Out a House.
One walkthrough, one number, one or two days. Here is how to get there without wasting a weekend.
- 1
Mark what stays, then stop sorting
Move keepers into one room or tag them with painter's tape. Do not spend days bagging everything else; loose furniture is faster for us to carry than half-packed boxes are for you to fill.
- 2
Pull paperwork and valuables
Titles, bank papers, keys, jewelry. We set aside anything personal we find, but the fastest job is one where nobody has to stop and ask.
- 3
Text photos of every room
Include closets, the basement, the garage, and the yard. You usually get a price back within 10 minutes during business hours, and a date along with it.
- 4
Save a parking spot
A driveway or alley spot for the truck and dump trailer shortens every carry. A carry of more than 100 ft adds $40, so ask a neighbor if the curb is tight.
- 5
Book one day, stay reachable
You approve the price on site before we start. After that you can leave. Darius works the house himself, calls if a question comes up, and a big house takes one long day or two.
Room by Room
Getting Rid of a House Full of Junk, Room by Room.
Here is what comes out of each part of a house, and the few things that have to stay behind.
Kitchen
Dishes, small appliances, the kitchen table, and the pantry. Empty the fridge of food first; a fridge or freezer is +$50 for the refrigerant.
Bedrooms and Living Room
Beds and mattresses (no extra charge), dressers, couches, recliners, TVs, and the closets. See furniture removal if it is only a few pieces.
Basement
Usually the biggest load in the house. Stairs are $25 a flight. The basement cleanout page covers what turns up down there.
Garage
Shelving, tools, bikes, old furniture, and scrap metal. Paint and chemicals stay behind. More on the garage cleanout page.
Yard, Patio and Shed
Patio furniture, grills, planters, shed contents, and piled brush. We do not take dirt or sod.
What Stays Behind
Paint, solvents, and chemicals. Water heaters and carpet only once they are already disconnected or pulled up; we do not disconnect or pull them.
Honest Limits
Hoarding Cleanup and Hazardous Jobs: Not Us, and Here Is Why.
We do not take hoarding cleanups at this time, and we do not take any job with hazardous or biological waste: animal waste, rodent infestation, human waste, needles, mold, or food that has rotted in place. Those jobs need protective equipment, containment, and disposal permits that a junk hauler does not have, and doing them wrong puts the people who live there at risk. If your situation includes any of that, hire a company that specializes in biohazard and hoarding remediation. They exist across the Denver metro and they are worth the money.
What we can do in those cases is come after. Once the remediation company has handled the hazardous material, the furniture, boxes, and household volume that remain are a normal cleanout, and we price it like one. Text photos and describe the situation honestly; we will tell you on the first reply whether it is a job for us or a referral.
Pricing
House Cleanout Cost by the Yard.
$149 for the first 2 cubic yards, then $75 a yard. No travel fee, no fuel fee, no dump fee.
| Home | Yards | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| One packed room or a garage | 4 to 8 | $299 to $599 |
| Apartment or a lightly furnished small house | 7 to 10 | From about $524 to $749 |
| Furnished two or three bedroom house | 10 to 15 | $749 to $1,124 |
| Large home with basement, garage, and years of storage | 15 to 20+ | $1,124 to $1,499+ |
The truck and 6x10 dump trailer hold about 9 packed yards a trip, so most houses take two or more, and extra trips are never charged. Stairs are $25 a flight, a carry over 100 ft is +$40, fridges and freezers are +$50 each, and concrete, tile, or brick is +$25 a yard. Every extra is written down before we start.
A Worked Example
A two-bedroom rental where the tenant left the furniture, the beds, and a garage of boxes packs to about 11 cubic yards: $149 plus 9 yards at $75 is $824. Add the old fridge (+$50) and it is $874, for two trips, every dump fee, and a swept house. That is an example of the math, not a past job. The estate cleanout cost guide covers whole-house pricing in more depth, and the pricing page has the full yard table.
Real Proof
Two Full Loads, One Owner, One Day.
A whole house is usually a two-load job. Here is one I have documented with receipts: a rental in University Park, Denver, on July 29, 2026. It was remodel debris packed into a garage rather than a furnished house, but it is the same scale. Two full loads, 5.5 hours start to finish in steady rain, two transfer station runs and $247 in dump fees, all done solo. I charged $700 at the time; today it would be priced by the yard, and the second trip costs nothing extra. Read the University Park two-load case study.

FAQ
House Cleanout Questions.
What is a cleanout on a house?
A house cleanout empties a whole home in one job: furniture, appliances, boxes, clothing, and everything in the closets, basement, garage, and shed, carried out, hauled, and swept. You mark what stays and everything else goes. If you mean the plumbing cleanout, that is the capped fitting on the sewer line, and it is a plumber's job.
How much do house cleanouts cost?
We price by the yard: $149 for the first 2 cubic yards, then $75 a yard. Most whole-house cleanouts start around $524 and commonly run $749 to $1,499+. A furnished two or three bedroom home is usually 10 to 15 yards, $749 to $1,124, and a large home with a full basement and garage can be 20 yards or more. There is no dump fee, no travel fee, and no charge for extra trips. Stairs are $25 a flight. You approve the price on site before we start.
How do you get rid of a house full of junk?
Mark or move what you are keeping, pull out paperwork and valuables, and text photos of every room for a price. On the day, everything else is carried out and loaded: some good items go to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, big loads of scrap metal are recycled, and the rest goes to an STS transfer station. A full house usually takes two trips, and you pay by the yard, not by the trip.
What is the fastest way to clean out a house?
Stop sorting early: mark what stays and leave the rest where it is. Text photos of every room to get a price, usually within 10 minutes during business hours, save a driveway or alley spot for the trailer, and book a single day. One person with a truck and dump trailer clears most houses in one long day or two.
Do you do hoarding cleanups?
Not at this time. We do not take hoarding cleanups or any job with animal waste, rodent infestation, human waste, needles, mold, or rotted food. Those need a biohazard remediation company with the right equipment and disposal permits. Once that work is done, the ordinary furniture and household volume left behind is a normal cleanout and we are glad to quote it.
Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Yes. A tenant walkout is one of the most common house cleanouts we do. Send photos of each room and the turnover date, leave a lockbox or a code, and we text photos of the empty rooms when it is done. A certificate of insurance goes out the same day during business hours.
Can you clean out a foreclosure?
Yes, when the owner, the listing agent, or the asset manager hires us and gives access. They decide what counts as left behind; we clear what they authorize, haul it, sweep, and text dated photos of every empty room for their file.
How long does a house cleanout take?
Darius works every house himself. One trailer load is about a half day. A big house with a basement and garage takes one long day or two, and we can split it around a closing date or a turnover. Hours are Monday to Saturday 7am to 7pm, Sunday by appointment.
What happens to usable furniture and personal items?
Photos, documents, jewelry, and anything that looks personal get set aside for you before any load leaves. Some good-condition furniture and household goods go to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, and big loads of scrap metal get recycled. Everything else goes to an STS transfer station. We cannot give donation receipts.
Which areas do you cover for house cleanouts?
Golden, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Applewood, Edgewater, and Denver, plus Westminster, Littleton, Morrison, Thornton, Broomfield, Highlands Ranch, Ken Caryl, Columbine, Federal Heights, and Englewood. There is no travel fee.
