Hoarding Clean-Up: What Families and Landlords Need to Know

Hoarding is a rare but serious issue that can significantly impact families and landlords. It often results from individuals who are unable to part with possessions, leading to an accumulation of items throughout the house and property. Over time, this can make the space uninhabitable.

When it comes to clean-up, the responsibility typically falls on the shoulders of families, friends, or landlords. While hygiene isn’t always a concern, in some cases, the situation can be severe enough to require special measures to protect those involved in the clean-up process.

The duration of a hoarding clean-up can vary widely, from a couple of days to over a week, depending on the scale. It can be an emotional experience, especially when it involves sorting through family heirlooms and other sentimental items, often after a loved one has passed away.

For landlords, discovering a hoarding situation after a tenant moves out can be a shock. It often involves not just the cost of clean-up, but also dealing with property damage and hygiene issues. Additionally, refurbishing the property and preparing it for renting or selling can be a significant financial burden.

At Anytime Bin Rentals, we understand that the clean-up process may already be underway when you contact us. Our “Junk Removal Package” includes a bin and a two-person crew, making it a popular choice, especially when larger items need to be disposed of. We handle everything, from bagging smaller items to removing large furniture and other bulky objects.

Our crew can stay on-site for the four hours included in the package, or longer if requested, particularly if the yard or garage requires attention. For larger clean-ups, we ensure timely bin swap-outs to keep the process moving smoothly. Our 20-yard bins are ideal for bulky loads.

Since these clean-ups are often unplanned, they can turn into impromptu family reunions, with relatives and friends coming together to help. Some families even take shifts to manage the workload while balancing other responsibilities. Meanwhile, landlords often coordinate with contractors for necessary repairs and real estate arrangements.

At Anytime Bin Rentals, we know how important it is to provide professional and reliable service during these challenging times. We’re here to make the process as seamless as possible. Give us a call at 403-875-3300, and let us help you “Let go of your junk.”
