    Clearing a Loved One’s Home Is Hard Enough

    When someone passes or moves into care, the house they leave behind is full — closets, garage, basement, attic. Decades of belongings that someone has to sort through, decide on, and remove. It is overwhelming, emotional, and physically exhausting.

    Junk B Gone has been helping Seattle families through estate cleanouts since 1989. We have cleared homes on Mercer Island, condos in Belltown, and craftsman houses in Wallingford where three generations of belongings filled every room. We work at your pace, on your schedule, and we treat every item with respect.

    Call us at (206) 722-4285 or text us a photo for a quick quote — we will get back to you within the hour during business hours.

    When the estate involves severe clutter, we coordinate with families through our compassionate hoarder cleanout service.

    A lifetime of memories. We handle it with care.

    We Know Seattle Estate Cleanouts

    A 4-bedroom Mercer Island estate is a different job than a Capitol Hill studio apartment — and we have done both hundreds of times. We know which donation partners accept what, which items have resale value, and how to clear a 3,000 square foot home in two days without damaging the hardwood floors.

    We sort everything room by room. Furniture, clothing, kitchenware, books, electronics, yard tools — nothing gets thrown away without being evaluated first. Items in good condition go to charitable organizations like Second Spark. Metals and electronics go to recycling. The rest gets hauled responsibly.

    • We work around YOUR schedule — not ours

    • We separate keepsakes and valuables before removing anything

    • We photograph items before removal if requested

    • We can coordinate with estate sale companies

    • All-inclusive pricing with no surprise fees

    What We Clear During Estate Cleanouts

    From single rooms to entire homes, here is what Seattle families call us for:

    Whole House Cleanouts

    Every room, closet, garage, basement, and attic. We clear it all in 1-3 days depending on the home size.

    Furniture Removal

    Couches, beds, dressers, dining sets, desks. We carry everything out — even from upstairs bedrooms and tight stairways.

    Garage & Basement

    The two rooms that collect the most over a lifetime. Tools, storage bins, holiday decorations, old paint, broken equipment.

    Appliance Removal

    Fridges, washers, dryers, freezers. We disconnect and haul. 100% of appliances get recycled through our private partners.

    Clothing & Personal Items

    We sort carefully. Wearable clothing goes to donation. We never throw away items without the family’s approval.

    Electronics & E-Waste

    TVs, computers, printers, old stereos. Proper e-waste recycling — not the landfill.

    Yard & Outdoor Items

    Patio furniture, grills, sheds, hot tubs, yard tools. We clear the outside too.

    Mattresses & Box Springs

    King, queen, twin — we haul them all. These are bulky and heavy but we handle them daily.

    Books, Papers & Documents

    We can shred sensitive documents on request. Books in good condition go to library donation programs.

    Hoarding Situations

    No judgment, ever. We have cleared homes where every room was floor-to-ceiling. We work methodically, room by room, with compassion and discretion.

    Same-Day Service Available

    When a property sale is closing or a lease is ending, we understand the urgency. We can often start the same day; call to check.

    Sorting Included

    We go room by room. Keepsakes get set aside, donatable items go to charitable organizations like Second Spark, and the rest gets hauled responsibly.

    All-Inclusive Pricing

    Sorting, loading, hauling, donations, disposal — everything is included in the quote. No mileage surcharges. No hidden fees.

    We Photograph Before Removing

    If requested, we text photos of items before removal — so families can approve from anywhere, even out of state.

    Coordination With Estate Sales

    We work alongside estate sale companies. They take what sells, we haul what’s left — on the same day if needed.

    Why Seattle Trusts Us With Their Family Estates

    Before and after of a kitchen cleanout: cluttered counters, then a cleared kitchen

    Last month we cleared a three-bedroom home in Magnolia after the owner passed away. The family lived out of state and could not be there for every decision. So we photographed every room, texted them photos of items we thought might have sentimental value, set aside a box of family photos and keepsakes, and cleared the rest in two days.

    That is the kind of estate cleanout service we provide. Not just hauling — actually caring about what we are handling.

    We have been doing this since 1989. We are not a franchise. We are a local Seattle company, and the families we work with are our neighbors. Our pricing covers everything — sorting, loading, hauling, donations, and disposal. No surprise fees.

    Call (206) 722-4285 or text us a photo for a quick quote.

    What Does an Estate Cleanout Work in Seattle?

    Every job is different. Our minimum is $99. We quote on-site — no surprises.

    We make estates manageable.

    • Room-by-room sorting. Keepsakes separated before anything is removed.

    Truck size matters

    A bigger truck. Fewer trips. More for your money.

    One of our trucks next to two cars.

    A "full load" only means something if you know the size of the truck. Our beds run 12 to 16 feet long, all 8 feet wide and 5 feet tall, and we often load above the rails and tarp it down. For the biggest jobs we send our 24-foot truck.

    More capacity means most projects fit in one load. No second trip charges, no "we'll have to come back tomorrow." You get the same work done for less.

    Estate Cleanout
    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does an estate cleanout cost in Seattle?

    Estate cleanout costs depend on the size of the home, how much needs to be removed, and access to the property. Our minimum is $99, and we provide free on-site estimates so you know the exact price before any work begins. No hidden fees — labor, truck, hauling, donations, and disposal are all included.

    How long does an estate cleanout take?

    Most 2-3 bedroom homes take 1-2 days. Larger estates or homes with significant accumulation may take 2-3 days; for homes like that, see our hoarding cleanup service. We scale crew size to meet your timeline.

    Do you donate usable items?

    Yes. Furniture, clothing, kitchenware, and other usable items go to charitable organizations like Second Spark. We sort, load, and deliver the donations — families do not have to make separate trips.

    Can you handle hoarding situations?

    Yes. No judgment, ever. We work methodically, room by room, and with complete discretion. We have cleared homes where every room was floor-to-ceiling.

    Do I need to be present during the cleanout?

    Not necessarily. Many families walk through with us once, mark what stays, and then let us handle the rest. We can text photos of items before removing them if you prefer.

    What if I am out of state managing the estate remotely?

    We work with remote families regularly. We do a video walkthrough, text photos of anything that might have sentimental value, and set aside keepsakes for shipping or pickup. If your parent also kept a storage unit, we clear that too with a storage unit cleanout.
