Cleanup
Hoarding takes patience and understanding. Our team has the experience to get the job done efficiently while staying sensitive to everyone involved.
Hoarding cleanup
Patience first, then the heavy lifting
Hoarding is a compulsive disorder that takes a toll on the person living with it and on their loved ones. When a home has become unlivable, the cleanup has to be handled with patience and understanding as well as strength. Big Blue Removal has worked in many hoarding situations and stays sensitive to everyone involved.
We are locally owned and based in Attleboro, and we have been hauling for 26 years across Southeastern Massachusetts and Northern Rhode Island. Our work covers the clearing, the hauling and the recovery of items that are still useful, valuable or sentimental.
Every job starts with a free estimate. We are fully insured on every job and open every day from 8am to 7pm. If you are not sure where to begin, call, and we will talk it through with you.
What we take
However much there is, we can handle it
We also recover what is still useful, valuable and sentimental.
A hoarding cleanup is more than clearing clutter. It also means recovering the items in the home that are still useful, valuable and sentimental, and removing the rest. No matter how much there is, we can handle it.
We clear whole homes room by room, along with garages, sheds and other outbuildings where belongings have built up. We work sensitively with families, landlords and agents who are involved.

The job
How a hoarding cleanup works
It starts with a call and a free estimate. We ask about the size of the home, how full it is and what the goals are, and we look at the property in person. The aim is for everyone to know what to expect before any work begins.
On the day, the crew works through the home carefully, setting aside what is still useful, valuable or sentimental and hauling away the rest. Often we are able to do the estimate and completely clear the house within a few days of the initial call.
Pricing
What affects the price of a hoarding cleanup
A hoarding cleanup is priced by the job, and these are the factors.
- The size of the home. A small apartment and a full house with an attic and garage are different jobs.
- How full it is. The volume of material determines how many truckloads and how many days.
- Access. Narrow paths, stairs and blocked rooms slow the work.
- Items to recover. Sorting for valuables and keepsakes takes time, and we build it into the plan.
- Timing. Urgent situations, such as an inspection or a lease deadline, can change how we schedule the crew.
Tell us what you can when you call. The estimate is free, with no obligation.
Real situations
Common situations
A family member needs help
A relative is overwhelmed and the home is no longer safe. We work with the family to set a plan and clear it respectfully.
A landlord or agent is involved
A property has to be cleared for safety or a sale. We clear it efficiently and treat the situation with care.
A fresh start
After clearing, the home can be cleaned, repaired or sold. The healing can only begin after the home is cleaned.
Before we arrive
Getting ready
If you can, walk through the home and note anything you want to keep, including photos, documents and family items. Tell the crew what matters most to the person who lives there.
Let us know about access, any safety concerns and the timeline. If emotions are running high, call anyway. We are used to these conversations.
