Junk Removal
Clear out the clutter.
At Yellow Glove Cleaning, we provide residential junk removal services for homeowners, renters, landlords, and property managers. Whether you’re clearing out a garage, getting ready for a move, cleaning up after a renovation, or simply getting rid of things you no longer need, we can help you reclaim your space.
We can remove unwanted household items, garbage, recycling, donations, and other non-hazardous materials from homes, apartments, condominiums, townhouses, garages, sheds, basements, workshops, and other residential spaces.
And of course, as a cleaning company, we’re well-positioned to give your freshly emptied space a thorough reset.
What is Junk Removal?
Junk removal is the process of removing unwanted items and materials from your home so they can be disposed of, recycled, donated, or otherwise handled appropriately.
As part of our cleaning services, we can remove items from inside your home or other areas of your property, handle the lifting and loading, and clear the space for you.
What Can We Remove?
Every home and every cleanout is different, but some of the most common items we remove include:
- Small appliances
- Electronics
- Boxes and cardboard
- Household garbage
- Clothing
- Chairs
- Mattresses
- Some shelving
- Storage containers
- Old decorations
- Garage and workshop clutter
- Non-hazardous renovation debris
- Items left behind by previous tenants
If you’re not sure whether we can remove something, please get in touch with us. Some materials require specialized handling or disposal and may not be suitable for our standard junk removal service.
Our Residential Junk Removal Services
Make room for what matters. Clutter has a way of piling up over the years, and the bigger the pile gets, the harder it is to remove until the job starts to feel impossible. At Yellow Glove Cleaning, we can clear out everything you’ve been shoving in closets, garages, and sheds to give you the fresh start you’ve been waiting for.
Garage Cleanouts
Garages collect all sorts of items you’ll never use again. In fact, they often end up storing everything but the car you’re supposed to keep in there.
If you’re ready to reclaim your garage, we can help remove unwanted furniture, boxes, tools, household items, and other non-hazardous clutter. Once everything is out of the way, you can also add cleaning services to the project to get your garage back in usable condition.
Basement and Storage Cleanouts
Basements, storage rooms, and sheds can accumulate years of unwanted belongings.
Whether you’re preparing for a renovation, getting ready to sell your home, downsizing, or simply tired of looking at the clutter, we can help clear the space.
Downsizing and Decluttering
Downsizing can mean making difficult decisions about what to keep, donate, or throw away.
Once you’ve decided what isn’t coming with you, we can help remove the items you no longer need. This can be particularly useful when moving from a larger home into a smaller house, apartment, or condominium.
Move In and Move Out Junk Removal
Moving is a natural time to get rid of things you don’t want to take with you.
We can remove unwanted furniture, boxes, garbage, and other items before you leave your current home. We can also help clear items left behind by prior occupants if you’re moving in. Combine this with our move in and move out cleaning services for a less stressful move.
Estate and Property Cleanouts
Preparing a home for sale after a loss can be a deeply emotional and overwhelming time. Our cleaners can work alongside you to handle disposal, donations, and cleaning for estate and property cleanouts, taking one task off your plate during a difficult, stressful time.
Mental Health Cleans
Mental illness is pervasive and can easily take over other parts of your life. A clean, organized home can quickly become difficult to maintain. Alongside our regular cleaning services, we can offer specialized cleaning and clearing services for people with hoarding disorders and other conditions upon request. Our cleaners will work with you to help you sort through what items can be removed from your home.
What We Don’t Remove
Our standard residential junk removal service is intended for ordinary, non-hazardous household materials.
We don’t handle hazardous materials or substances that require specialized disposal or remediation.
This can include:
- Asbestos-containing materials
- Biohazardous waste
- Medical waste
- Certain chemicals
- Fuels and hazardous liquids
- Explosives
- Other regulated materials
If you’re unsure about something you need removed, please contact us before your appointment so we can determine whether we can safely handle it or make a recommendation for another service.
