Quick Answer
How much does a whole-house cleanout cost?
Whole-house cleanouts typically run $800-$2,500+ depending on the number of rooms, levels, stairs, and volume of contents. Smaller homes with moderate contents run lower; large homes with packed garages, basements, and multiple floors run higher. We give you a firm quote before we start, with no hidden fees.
House clean outs are built for speed: move-outs, landlord turnovers, foreclosure cleanups, renovation prep, and full-property junk removal when every room needs to be cleared. We handle multi-level access including stairs, attics, garages, and basements, sort donation-eligible items, and clear the property in one day or staged visits when needed. If the job involves probate, family coordination, realtor listing prep, or estate sale leftovers, start with our estate cleanout service instead. We cover DuPage, Kane, and nearby Cook County suburbs from our Bartlett base.
Whole-house cleanouts for move-outs and property turnovers
This page is for standard whole-house cleanout jobs where the priority is clearing a property quickly and professionally. Common calls include move-out junk removal, landlord turnovers, foreclosure cleanouts, rental property cleanouts, renovation prep, and homes where a garage, basement, attic, and living areas all need to be emptied.
We remove furniture, mattresses, boxes, old appliances, shelving, bagged junk, basement storage, garage contents, and general household debris. The crew does the carrying from inside the property, loads everything, separates donation-ready items, and leaves the working areas swept.
When to choose estate cleanout instead
A house clean out is usually a speed-and-volume job. An estate cleanout is usually more sensitive and coordinated, with family decisions, probate timing, donation sorting, estate sale leftovers, and realtor listing deadlines involved.
If multiple family members need to review items, if an estate attorney or realtor is coordinating access, or if the home is being cleared after a death or estate sale, the estate cleanout page is the better fit. If the property simply needs to be emptied for the next tenant, buyer, project, or owner, house clean out is the right service.
Rule of thumb: house clean out = clear the property fast. Estate cleanout = clear the property carefully around family, probate, realtor, or estate sale timelines.
House cleanout pricing and scheduling
Whole-house cleanout pricing depends on how much material is inside, how many levels are involved, whether there are tight stairs, how much heavy furniture needs to be removed, and whether the garage, basement, attic, or shed are included.
Most smaller whole-house cleanouts start around $800. Larger multi-level homes with packed garages and basements commonly run $1,500-$2,500+. We give a firm quote before work starts, and repeat landlords or property managers can get priority scheduling for tight turnover windows.
| Cleanout type | Common scope | Suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Move-out cleanout | Furniture, bags, boxes, mattresses, and leftover household junk | Homeowners and tenants |
| Rental turnover | Abandoned contents, garage items, appliances, and debris | Landlords and property managers |
| Foreclosure cleanout | Full-property junk removal with fast turnaround | Banks, agents, and investors |
| Renovation prep | Old furniture, storage items, carpet, fixtures, and household debris | Owners and contractors |

What happens to the material after a house clean out job
A load leaving your property gets split before it reaches a landfill. Usable furniture and housewares go to local thrift and charity partners; metal, wood and cardboard are separated for recycling along the lines the EPA's recycling guidance sets out, and its national materials and waste figures are the reason we bother: a large share of what people call "junk" is still recoverable. Electronics are landfill-banned in Illinois, so they are routed to e-waste processors under state rules and the drop-off network Illinois EPA maintains. You can check any single item yourself through the Earth911 directory or the SWANCC collection calendar.
There are things we cannot take on the truck. Paint, solvents, pool chemicals, motor oil and lithium batteries fall under EPA household hazardous waste rules and need a collection event rather than a dumpster, and pressurised or fuel-bearing containers are handled per NFPA precautions. If a space has visible mould, our crew masks up — disturbing spores is a respiratory hazard under CDC guidance — and after severe weather Ready.gov recommends separating hazards from general debris before anyone starts loading. Crews lift and carry to OSHA practice throughout. Drop-off calendars for the regulated categories are published by DuPage County, Kane County and Cook County.
We quote before we start, in writing, and the number does not move once the crew is on site unless the scope does. The FTC's consumer guidance on home-service estimates is worth reading before you hire anyone for a house clean out job — including us.
