Trash out hoarder house: help!

[Josh Reborchick]

Hello all, Just purchased a SFH that was an REO. The owners were hoarders and have lived there since it was built in 76’! Had a company come out and said they couldn’t even do it. Any experience in cleaning out 3600sf of trash inside plus property? It’s rancid but the House is worth it. Experience and cost would be greatly appreciated!

we did 3 last year.. all of them so bad the house had to be demo'd as well.

the one in Lake Oswego we took 300,000 lbs of stuff to the dump.. and that was after we let the metal scroungers and other scroungers come through and take whatever they wanted.

So first thing put ad out that everything goes and its free. you would be surprised at what other hoarders will think is of value..

then get bids from haul off companies..

in our area lead paint and asbestos's are real issues.. and must be mitigated prior to hauling to the dump.

cost in these extreme Hoarder houses low of 15k the one in Lake O was 60k.. but that included the house.. so 40k just for trash removal.

Or if your on a budget or cost conscience and have the time.. just order your own dumpsters.. go the day labor places.. ( our area its home depot parking lot) pick up day laborers and have at it.
