Same truck, same crew. One couch out of an apartment or forty years of a house. The hoarding jobs just take longer.
We take furniture. We take appliances. We take mattresses, clothing, paper, boxes, and food still in containers. We take what is in the garage and what is in the attic. We take a whole-property cleanout. If two people can carry it out of the house, it goes on the truck.
That list is the job for most houses. Sofas, dressers, beds, TVs, refrigerators, washers, boxes of paper, bags of clothes, the contents of closets and spare rooms. You point at what stays. Everything else is ours to load.
You may have typed hoarder house cleanout charlotte to get here. The work behind that phrase is hauling household contents out of a house in Charlotte. The full item list and the published rate card are on the home page.
Very little stays off. The exceptions are a few specific materials, and the rest of the house still goes on the truck.
Our refusal list is short and it exists for regulatory reasons: wet paint, oils, fuels, chemicals, asbestos, medical or biohazard waste, and ammunition cannot go on the truck at any price, and we do not remove fuel tanks. A hoarded house is where half-used paint cans, fuel cans, and boxed ammunition often sit. They come off the load. Mention them when you reach out. We work around them and take the rest of the house. Leftover paint, oils, fuels, and chemicals go to the county, not on our truck — that drop-off is spelled out on the Mecklenburg County disposal explainer. Ammunition and explosives are not part of it; that drop-off refuses them.
We don't take medical waste, sharps, chemical drums, or anything that might be asbestos. Those materials need a permit we do not hold. A licensed remediation company exists for exactly that work, and there are companies in Charlotte that do only that. What sends a room to that company is this: sharps and medical or biohazard waste, chemical drums, suspected asbestos, animal or human waste beyond ordinary household soil. If one room needs a licensed company, we take the rest of the house once that room is finished.
Tell us when you reach out which rooms are ours and which are not. We do not guess from a photo of a doorway.
Charlotte publishes its own list of Health & Sanitation violations. The language is the City's. It is also the language a notice uses, which is why it is worth having in one place.
Matthews, Mint Hill, Huntersville, and Pineville sit in our service area. They are not covered by that Charlotte list. Each town runs its own program.
A house full of household contents is bulky waste at the county scale, not construction debris. That matters if you are considering hauling it yourself: the county charges by the item, and the rate below is what each one costs at the gate.
One sofa in a pickup is the free line. A house is the $15 column, item after item, trip after trip, loaded by the person who already has the house as a job. Our price for a load is a rough estimate from a photo instead, confirmed on-site before anything is loaded.
We do not publish a flat price for a hoarder house. Nobody can price a house they have not seen, and a number quoted sight-unseen is a guess. The photos, or a walk through the space, are what settle the job.
The published starting prices are for single items, not the price of the whole house. A single item starts from $85. Several items or a cleanout are estimated as one job from a photo, not by adding up item prices. Those prices are ballpark estimates. The exact price is confirmed on-site before anything is loaded.
Every job includes a two-person crew, in-home removal from any main-floor or garage location, all loading, disposal fees for general junk, and a sweep-up. Stairs above the main floor are not inside that price. That add-on is +$30 per flight on our published rate card, not invented on the driveway.
A house that has been standing full is often more than one load. The job is estimated from photos or a walk-through and confirmed before anything is loaded, as either a multi-load price or separate trips. That is the answer already published for cleanout services: large estate cleanouts or whole-property jobs sometimes take more than a single load. We'll estimate the full scope when we walk the space — as one job or as separate trips.
Three people call. An adult child arranging it for a parent who is still living. An executor or an administrator clearing rooms after a death. A landlord after a tenancy. The operational facts are the same for all three, and they are the only facts we own. We do not decide who is responsible.
We quote the person who contacts us. That person confirms the price on site before anything is loaded, or from the photos if they will not be there. The number goes to them. We invoice whoever books the job and agrees the price.
If you are the adult child, the yes can be yours or your parent's, whichever of you is booking. We do not sort out whose money it is.
If you are the executor or the administrator, we quote you, you confirm the price, and the invoice follows that yes. We do not read a will, and we do not decide which family member owes the bill.
If you are the landlord, we quote you and invoice you when you agree the price. We do not read the lease, and we do not decide whether a deposit or a former tenant should have paid.
Where the City has already taken enforcement action, the booklet's process runs against the property owner, and unpaid contractor costs become a lien against the property. That is stated, with the City's own figures, in What a City letter actually does, below. A quote from this crew is not that process.
Whether insurance pays for a hoarding cleanout is not something this page can answer. There is no public document that states what any given policy covers for hauling contents out of a full house, so nothing here guesses, and nothing here cites a policy, a statute, or a carrier.
What to ask the insurer, before anyone treats a claim as a yes:
Tell us before the job if the insurer needs documentation of what was removed. Photos and a list of what went on the truck can be set aside for that. Bring it up when you text (704) 459-5052, not after the truck has left.
If a City letter has already arrived, here's the process the booklet actually describes. The City does not print a fixed public number of days for this class — the letter itself names the time the owner is given, so the date to work to is the one on the letter in your hand. There is also a 30-day window to appeal.
Estate cleanout, full-property haul — the work is the same, and the search that finds it is often hoarding cleanup charlotte nc. It is not a separate company. The same crew hauls a couch, a garage, an estate, and a house that has been standing full. The hoarding jobs are one line on that list.
Furniture, appliances, mattresses, attic and basement contents, yard waste, office furniture, and the cleanout pages already on this site are the rest of the work. Start at the home page or the cleanout services page if the house is not the question you came in with.
What we take, where the crew stops, how a full house is priced, who the bill goes to, what we can and cannot say about insurance, and the city and county figures above.
No. Full-service means the rest of the list too: furniture, mattresses, appliances, garage and estate cleanouts, yard waste. A house that has become someone's job is one job on that list. The rate card and the item list are on the home page.
No. Send photos, or describe what's there and we will give you a number. If you'd rather not walk through it again, tell us where the door is and what stays. We confirm the price on site before we load.
Say so when you text. Sharps, medical waste, chemical drums, suspected asbestos, and animal or human waste beyond ordinary household soil are not our materials. We take the rest of the house once that room is finished.
For one sofa, a chair, a table, or a mattress set, the county's first bulky item is No Charge. After that the residential schedule bills bulky waste at $15 per unit. Those figures are on the county's residential fee sheet, checked September 2026. A house is usually past the point where one trip in a pickup is the cheaper path.
The City of Charlotte identifies the owner through Mecklenburg County real estate records and sends a letter describing the violation and what must be done. The booklet says the owner is given a specific amount of time — it does not print a fixed public number of days for this class. The fee table lists unauthorized accumulations and bulky and junk items at $150.00. Owners may appeal a citation or a contractor-cost assessment within 30 days.
There is no flat price. A single item starts from $85. Several items or a cleanout are estimated as one job from a photo, not by adding up item prices. A hoarder cleanout is often more than one load, estimated from photos or a walk-through and confirmed before anything is loaded — a multi-load price or separate trips.
No average is published here. A sight-unseen average would be a guess. A house is often more than one load, estimated from photos or a walk-through and confirmed before anything is loaded.
It is the number given after photos or a walk, confirmed before anything is loaded. It is not a single-item price copied onto the whole house. A full house is often more than one load, estimated from photos or a walk-through.
Whoever books the job and agrees the price: an adult child, an executor or administrator, or a landlord. The number and the invoice go to that person. We do not decide who is responsible, and we do not read a will or a lease. If a City letter is already in the picture, who that process runs against is covered on this page under What a City letter actually does.
This page does not know, and it does not guess. No public document here states what a policy covers for this. Ask the insurer whether a volume cleanout is covered at all, whether any payment is for the building, the contents, or the hauling, and what documentation they want before the load leaves. If they need photos or a list, say so before the job.
A photo and a sentence is enough to price it. We come back with a number, and nothing goes on the truck until you have agreed to it.
