Is hoarding a mental health condition?

Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. A cleanout team does not diagnose anyone and treats every home and every person with respect.

How much does hoarder junk removal cost?

It depends on the amount of belongings, the size of the home, access, disposal fees and the level of cleaning needed. Hazards such as pests or mold add to it. The cleanout team gives a price after seeing the property.

Yes. Cleanouts are often arranged by executors, landlords, property managers and agents. The team follows their access instructions and can note the condition of the property for their records.

It carries real hazards, such as unstable piles, sharp objects, droppings and mold. Crews use protective gear and follow worker safety rules, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, if blood or sharps are found.
