It's difficult to provide specific dollar amounts without knowing the details of your clean-out. However, here are some general price ranges to give you a rough idea (keep in mind these are very broad estimates and can vary significantly):
* Small Clean-Out (e.g., a few items, a small storage unit): Could range from $500 - $1500+
* Medium Clean-Out (e.g., a cluttered garage, a few rooms of downsizing): Could range from $1500 - $3000+
* Large Clean-Out (e.g., entire house clean-out, significant construction debris): Could range from $3000 - $8000+ or more.
For sales at your location. You can expect commission rates to range from 30% to 50% of the gross sales.
Factors Influencing Clean-Out and sale Costs:
* Volume of Items: The more junk you have, the more it will cost to remove due to increased labor, transportation, and disposal fees.
* Type of Items: Heavy or bulky items (like appliances, furniture, construction debris) often cost more to remove and dispose of than lighter, general household items.
* Accessibility: If the items are difficult to access (e.g., multiple flights of stairs, tight spaces, far from the truck), it will likely increase the labor time and therefore the cost.
* Location: Travel distance to your property and to the disposal facilities can factor into the price.
* Special Disposal Needs: Certain items like hazardous waste, paint, or electronics require special disposal methods and often incur additional fees.
* Labor Involved: The amount of time and manpower required to remove the items will affect the price.

* For Junk Removal: Do I need to be present during the junk removal?
* While it's helpful for you to be present at the beginning to show us what needs to be removed, it's not always necessary for you to stay for the entire process. We can discuss the details during the initial consultation.
* For Clean Outs: What do I need to do to prepare for a clean out?
* Ideally, you should remove any items you definitely want to keep. We can discuss specific preparation steps based on the type of clean out service you require.
*For Estate Sales, Liquidation, moving sales and downsizing sales: Can we as clients and family members be present on sale days?
While clients are welcome to walk through the property before the sale to mark personal areas and remove sentimental items, we generally advise against their presence during the actual sale days due to the potential emotional difficulty. Our goal is to manage the liquidation process smoothly and respectfully for everyone involved.
