When Mom's House Becomes Your Project
Last Tuesday I got a call from a woman in Bellevue who’d just flown in from Denver to clear out her mother’s house on Mercer Island. Realtor wanted listing photos Friday. Four bedrooms. Forty-three years of stuff. She had two days off work.
That’s a normal week for us.
Most Seattle property cleanouts start the same way — a key, a stack of mail, and four bedrooms full of someone else’s life. Maybe it’s a parent who passed, an aunt who moved into memory care, a tenant who left ahead of an eviction, or a flip you just closed on in Ballard or West Seattle. Whatever brought you here, the work is the same: every closet, every drawer, every garage corner.
For distressed homes with severe clutter, see our family-supported hoarder cleanout service.
What This Job Actually Looks Like, Solo
Most people quote it out before they take a swing at it themselves. Here’s what the do-it-yourself path actually costs — and what one call gets you instead.
Doing it yourself
Two weekends. Four dump trips. A sore back.
- 2 days of PTO — minimum
- A pickup or rental truck (and gas, and parking)
- 4–6 trips to the transfer station
- Per-load dump fees you didn’t budget for
- Hazardous waste turned away at the gate
- Donations still in the basement Friday morning
Calling Junk B Gone
One walkthrough. One quote. One day.
- A free on-site (or FaceTime) walkthrough
- A firm, all-inclusive quote before we touch a thing
- One crew, one truck, one day for most full-house jobs
- Donations sorted on-site to charitable organizations like Second Spark
- 100% of appliances recycled through our private partners
- Floor swept before we leave
We Know Seattle Property Cleanouts
We sort, donate, recycle, and haul. Your house gets emptied — and where items can be reused, they go to charitable organizations like Second Spark instead of the landfill. We sweep before we leave.
Estate Executors
Cleared a 3-bedroom Magnolia estate on a Thursday so the realtor could shoot Friday morning. Donations sorted on-site, appliances recycled, family heirlooms boxed for the kids.
Foreclosure & Trust Agents
Most 30-day-clock cleanouts wrap in a single visit. We’ve worked with several of the big trust firms across King County.
Landlords & Property Managers
Apartment turnover Friday? Even hoarder situations clear in a day. We handle the dump fees, you collect rent Monday.
Adult Children Flying In
FaceTime walkthrough Friday, cleanout Saturday, you fly home Sunday. We’ve done this hundreds of times.
Downsizers
Forty years in the same house. We move at your pace, not ours.
Still deciding what to keep? Sort and Haul Day is a guided clear-out where a two-person crew works alongside you and hauls it the same visit.
What We Haul During Property Cleanouts
From three-bedroom estates to apartment turnovers and hoarder cleanouts, here's what Seattle property owners call us for most:
Furniture
Couches, mattresses, dressers, desks, dining sets — assembled, broken, or mid-collapse.
Appliances
Fridges, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, water heaters. We disconnect and haul.
Garage Junk
Tools, paint, batteries, oil, holiday boxes, the bike from college, the workbench nobody used.
Yard Debris
Old fence panels, lumber piles, overgrowth, rotted decking, the swing set the kids outgrew. See yard debris removal.
E-Waste
CRTs, flat-screens, computers, monitors, printers — routed to certified e-waste recyclers.
Boxes & Paper
Decades of files, magazines, books, photo albums. We can shred sensitive paperwork on request.
Clothes & Linens
Closets full of clothing, linens, kitchenware. Reusable items go to charitable organizations like Second Spark.
Hot Tubs, Sheds & Pianos
Yes, we move those too. Even the upright that's been pinning down a corner of the basement since 1978.
Hazardous Items
Paint, automotive fluids, household chemicals — separated and routed to proper disposal channels.
Simply call us
Call or text us with a photo of your appliance and we'll give you an honest quote — usually within minutes.
Clean anything
Our crew arrives with the right truck, dollies, straps, and the right crew. Any floor, any staircase — this is Seattle.
Our crews
We load everything, sweep the area, and haul it to our recycling partners for recycling. You enjoy your space.
Don’t see what you have?
No worries — give us a call (206) 722-4285 or text a photo and we’ll handle it.
Senior Downsizing Help — At Mom and Dad's Pace
When the family home is too much, the move-out is more emotional than the move-in. Forty years of belongings need to be sorted into “keep,” “share with grandkids,” “donate,” and “let go” — and most adult children are doing it on a weekend visit between work and their own families.
We work alongside your parents, not around them. Heirlooms get set aside. Donations go to charitable organizations like Second Spark. The rest leaves the same day. The pace is whatever feels right for the family — and we’ve done this enough to know that pace isn’t “fast.”
What we handle:
Whole-home pre-move sorts before the realtor walks in.
Partial cleanouts — one room at a time, on your parents' timeline.
Garages and basements with decades of accumulated stuff.
Donation pickups to charitable organizations like Second Spark.
The final post-move cleanout once the new place is settled.
How a Property Cleanout Works
Three steps. We do the heavy lifting — and the sorting, and the cleanup.
01
Free Walkthrough
We tour the property with you — in person or by FaceTime if you’re out of state. We tag what’s going, talk through donations, and answer every “can you really take that?” question.
02
Firm All-Inclusive Quote
Flat number, before we touch a thing. No fuel surcharge, no per-item fees on furniture or appliances. The quote we give is the price you pay.
03
Haul, Sort, Sweep
We load the truck (sometimes two), sort donations on-site for charitable organizations like Second Spark, and sweep up. Most three-bedroom homes wrap in a single day.
Basement Cleanout — Even the Stuff You Forgot You Had
If your Seattle house has a basement, you probably have an unfinished space full of decisions you’ve been putting off — the crib three kids used, paint cans from the previous owner, the box marked “tax 2014.”
We do basements. Tight stairwells, low ceilings, narrow hallways — that’s most of what we’re trained for. The crew brings the right gear, sorts as we load, and the basement comes back as a usable space. Same day for most jobs.
What we haul out:
Old furniture, broken appliances, and busted electronics.
Holiday décor and exercise equipment that hasn’t moved in years.
Paint, chemicals, and hazardous waste — routed responsibly, not into your bin.
Kid gear, hobby leftovers, and decades of cardboard.
The boxes you’ve been moving around for ten years.
Why Seattle Trusts Us With Their Cleanouts
Our oldest customer right now is the granddaughter of a woman we cleared out for in 1991. That’s the part of doing this for 37 years that doesn’t show up in the Yelp reviews. Property cleanouts are mostly about trust — you’re handing strangers the key to a house full of someone’s life, and you’re hoping they’ll treat the family photos and the broken lamp with the same care.
We sort. We donate where it makes sense, to charitable organizations like Second Spark. We recycle 100% of appliances through our private partners. We don’t just dump everything into a transfer station and call it a day. And when an executor or out-of-state child needs documentation for the estate file, we send before/after photos, weight tickets, and a list of what went where.
We’re not a franchise with an 800 number. We’re your neighbors — a local Seattle company since 1989 with crews you’ll see every time. Our pricing is transparent: the quote we give covers labor, sorting, hauling, recycling, and a basic sweep. No surprise fees, no per-item line items, no fuel surcharge.
Time-Sensitive Cleanouts
On a Deadline? We Can Be On-Site in 48 Hours.
If you’re cleaning out for a sale, the listing agent has a date. If it’s for a refinance, a move-out, or a closing — so do you. We can usually have a crew at the property within 48 hours, often the same day, and most full-house jobs wrap in a single visit — even four-bedrooms with packed garages.
Text us a photo of any room and we’ll text you back a number. Out of state? FaceTime works for the walkthrough.
Truck size matters
A bigger truck. Fewer trips. More for your money.
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.

Junk B Gone was amazing; I used them for an apartment downsize for a cross country move – mostly furniture but also some electronics. Their rates were about HALF of that blue-truck-800-company, the movers were professional and packed everything like Tetris blocks and all customer service issues were addressed handily. They’re A+ all around.
