About 57% of homes in Los Alamos were built before 1980, and older houses often hold generations of belongings in attics, closets and sheds. Only about 5% of homes in Los Alamos County are vacant, so most cleanouts here involve a home that someone still owns or is about to sell.

- Trash removal, including bagged waste, spoiled food and damaged or soiled items

Hoarder Junk Removal Questions Answered for Los Alamos, NM
What if the resident is still living in the house?
Cleanout then becomes a shared project. The resident decides what is kept, the pace is set together and nothing is hauled without agreement. Support from a doctor, counselor or local group can help the progress last.
Can the cleanout happen before a sale or a rental turnover?
Yes. Cleanouts are often scheduled before a listing, an inspection, a closing or a new tenant. Tell the team about the date early so the plan can fit it.
Will insurance pay for a hoarding clean out?
Usually not, because many policies exclude long-term buildup. A policy may help with a specific event such as a fire, a leak or a sewage backup. Read the policy, call the insurer before work begins, take photos and keep receipts.
Who pays for a hoarder house cleanout?
Usually the owner. For an estate, the estate pays or the cost comes from the sale of the house. Family members sometimes share it. In a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant.
Can a cleanout team handle a garage, shed or storage unit too?
Yes. Garages, sheds, porches and storage areas are often part of a hoarder house cleanout. Mention every space on the first call so the plan and the haul-away cover them.
What should I say to a relative about a cleanout?
Stay calm and kind. Ask what they most want to keep, avoid words like trash or filth and never remove things without asking. A cleanup team can explain the plan so the person knows what to expect.
