What Is a Hoarding Cleanout?
A hoarding cleanout is the structured removal of excessive clutter and accumulated belongings from a home where rooms may have become unsafe, unusable, or difficult to navigate.
Unlike a standard house cleanout for moving or downsizing, hoarding cleanouts often involve:
- Extreme clutter blocking pathways or exits
- Kitchens or bathrooms that are difficult to use
- Heavy accumulation in attics, basements, and garages
- Safety concerns such as trip hazards or fire risks
- Emotional attachment to belongings
Hoarding cleanouts require patience, discretion, and compassion. Our goal is not judgment—it's helping restore safety and function to the home.
Note: We focus on contents removal and clutter clearing—not deep cleaning or biohazard remediation.
If you're clearing a home for moving, downsizing, or sale prep without severe accumulation, see our House Cleanout Services. If you're managing an estate after a loved one passes, visit our Estate Cleanout Services. This page focuses specifically on hoarding situations requiring specialized, compassionate support.
We provide hoarding cleanout services throughout Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, Midlothian, Mechanicsville, and surrounding communities.
Levels of Hoarding We Handle
Hoarding situations range from moderate clutter to severe accumulation. We assist families at every level.
Mild to Moderate Clutter
Rooms that are crowded but still accessible. We help declutter and remove excess belongings while preserving items you wish to keep.
Severe Clutter (Blocked Rooms or Pathways)
Situations where rooms cannot be fully used, exits may be partially blocked, or entire areas are inaccessible. We restore safe pathways and reclaim living spaces.
Extreme Accumulation
Homes with full attics, packed basements, overloaded garages, and decades of belongings filling every available space. We bring the manpower, equipment, and truck capacity to handle large-scale clearing with an organized, careful removal process. Our team has been featured on A&E's Hoarders.
If a property involves active biohazards, sewage backup, or requires deep sanitizing, we can recommend specialized remediation partners.

Our Hoarding Cleanout Process
Hoarding cleanouts require structure and sensitivity. Here's how we handle them in Richmond:
Step 1: Private Walkthrough & Consultation
We meet with the homeowner, family member, or support representative. We assess the property, understand goals, and discuss the pace that feels comfortable. This consultation is completely private and free. We've completed hoarding cleanouts in historic Fan District homes, West End properties, and throughout Henrico and Chesterfield County—every situation requires a thoughtful, customized approach.
Step 2: Establish Keep / Donate / Remove Zones
We clearly designate:
- Keep items (saved in a designated safe location)
- Donate items (usable goods for local charities)
- Remove items (loaded for disposal or recycling)
We work carefully to ensure nothing important is discarded without approval.
Step 3: Document & Valuables Awareness
We watch for important paperwork, photos, jewelry, and valuables. If something appears significant, we set it aside for review.
Step 4: Structured Room-by-Room Clearing
We clear the home in organized stages, restoring access and improving safety with each phase. We can work gradually over multiple visits or complete the work in a focused timeline.
Step 5: Donation & Responsible Disposal
Usable items go to Richmond-area charities. Recyclables go to proper facilities. We minimize landfill waste whenever possible.
Step 6: Final Walkthrough
We confirm the home is cleared as agreed, pathways are safe and walkable, and the space is significantly more functional.

Why Richmond Chooses Get My Junk
Richmond families trust us for hoarding cleanouts. Here's why:
VETERAN-OWNED & EXPERIENCED
Hoarding cleanouts require specialized experience, discretion, and compassion. As a veteran-owned business, we bring military precision and empathy to every hoarding cleanout. We've worked on projects featured on A&E's Hoarders and cleared hundreds of hoarding situations throughout Richmond. We approach every hoarding cleanout with respect and zero judgment. We work closely with families, therapists, and social workers. When we schedule your hoarding cleanout, we show up on time with the right equipment and crew, ready to help reclaim living space with compassion.
BIGGEST TRUCKS = BETTER PRICES
Our fleet of bigger trucks holds 30% more than standard junk removal vehicles. Most hoarding cleanouts can be done in one day. For bigger projects, sometimes 2 or more days. With our fleet of bigger trucks, we can do it faster than competitors. Most competitors need multiple trips to clear what we handle in one load. Our capacity means we work efficiently while respecting the emotional pace of the cleanout process. For hoarding cleanouts, this efficiency is especially valuable—we can work at whatever pace is comfortable while still making significant progress. Our bigger trucks mean fewer return visits and smoother progress.
DONATION-FOCUSED APPROACH
Hoarding cleanouts generate usable items, not just trash. We partner with Richmond charities to ensure good items reach people who need them. We sort carefully for important documents, valuables, and sentimental items during hoarding cleanouts. Usable items get donated to Richmond charities like Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity. Recyclable materials go to proper facilities. Only items that can't be donated or recycled are disposed of as a last resort. This approach helps ensure belongings find new homes instead of filling landfills.
UPFRONT PRICING, NO SURPRISES
Hoarding cleanout pricing is based on volume—how much space items take in our truck. We provide the quote after walking through the property and assessing the situation. The price includes everything: labor, loading, hauling, donation drop-offs, recycling, and disposal. No hidden fees. Hoarding cleanouts get the same transparent pricing. You know the cost before we start. We work with families, therapists, and case managers to provide detailed quotes. If additional items are discovered, we'll discuss the adjustment before proceeding. No surprise charges. Check our pricing page for details.
Hoarding Cleanout Pricing in Richmond
Hoarding cleanout costs depend primarily on volume and accessibility.
Volume-Based Pricing
We charge based on truck space—not hourly rates. A quarter truck costs less than a half truck. Larger projects requiring multiple loads are priced accordingly.
Free On-Site Quotes
We provide a free, private quote after assessing the situation. We'll confirm the exact price before any loading begins. No obligation. No pressure.
No Hidden Fees
The quote includes everything: labor, loading, hauling, donation drop-offs, recycling, and disposal.
What Affects Cost
- Volume of belongings
- Accessibility (stairs, narrow hallways, limited parking)

- Level of sorting assistance needed
Older Richmond homes with narrow staircases, limited parking, or tight access may require additional labor compared to newer suburban properties in areas like Short Pump or Midlothian.

Our trucks hold 30% more than standard junk removal vehicles in Richmond. Our truck capacity is comparable to multiple pickup truck loads, which means fewer trips, faster completion, and often lower total cost.
