Estate cleanouts are rarely just about junk. They happen during some of the hardest moments in a family's life β€” after a loss, a difficult move, or years of accumulation that finally became too much. We show up on time, treat every home with respect, and do the physical work so you can focus on what matters.

Common estate cleanout situations we handle

No two estate cleanouts are the same. Here's what typically brings Fort Collins families to us.

πŸ•ŠοΈ

Loss of a Family Member

Settling a parent's or loved one's home after a passing. We work around your pace β€” whether you need it done in a day or over several visits. We're not rushing you.

🏑

Downsizing to Assisted Living

When a parent moves into a care facility or smaller home, decades of furniture, appliances, and belongings need to be sorted, donated, or hauled. We handle the haul-away portion completely.

πŸ“¦

Hoarding Situations

Some homes have years of accumulated items that make normal life difficult. We approach these jobs without judgment β€” focused on clearing the space safely and efficiently, room by room.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Out-of-Town Estate Heirs

You're managing an estate remotely. You can't be here to supervise every load. We show up when we say, haul everything you mark, and give you a clear before/after on the job.

πŸ”‘

Pre-Sale Property Prep

Getting a home ready to list after years of living means clearing out furniture, appliances, and years of stuff before staging. We clear the property so you can work with your realtor.

πŸ—οΈ

Full Property Cleanouts

From a studio apartment to a 4,000 sq ft home β€” if it needs to be fully cleared, we have the crew and trucks to do it in one or two visits, not multiple trips to the dump.

Estate cleanout in 4 simple steps

One call starts the process. We handle everything from there.

Step 01
πŸ“ž

Step 03
πŸš›

Cleanout Day

Our crew handles all the lifting, carrying, and loading. You point at what goes β€” we handle the rest. Everything's cleared from the property in one trip.

Step 04
🏠

Property Cleared

The home is empty and ready β€” for listing, transfer, renovation, or whatever comes next. We responsibly donate or recycle items when possible.

Everything that needs
to go, gone

Estate cleanouts involve a mix of furniture, appliances, clothing, paperwork, and years of accumulated belongings. We take everything you mark as ready to leave β€” sorted, donated when possible, and disposed of responsibly.

βœ“ Furniture: sofas, beds, dressers, dining sets
βœ“ Appliances: refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves
βœ“ Electronics: TVs, computers, stereo equipment
βœ“ Clothing, linens, and household goods
βœ“ Boxes, bins, and packed storage
βœ“ Yard equipment and garage contents
βœ“ Mattresses, box springs, and bedroom items
βœ“ Construction debris and renovation waste
βœ“ Sheds, outbuildings, and outdoor furniture

What to set aside before the crew comes

Before cleanout day, take time to identify anything you want to keep or pass to family. Once it's on the truck, it's gone β€” so a walkthrough first is worth the hour.

β†’ Keep: legal documents, financial records, wills, deeds, passports
β†’ Keep: jewelry, watches, cash, and small valuables
β†’ Keep: family photos, heirlooms, sentimental items
β†’ Keep: prescription medications (dispose of separately)
β†’ Donate: furniture and appliances still in good condition β€” we'll drop usable items at Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity on the way out
Not sure what to do with an item? Call us at (970) 342-8523 before the appointment. We'll talk through what makes sense so nothing important gets tossed.

"My mom passed unexpectedly and I had 30 days to clear her Fort Collins home before it sold. DriveBy cleared the entire house in one day. They were respectful, fast, and made an awful situation manageable."

"We needed to clear my father-in-law's home in Loveland after he moved to assisted living. The crew was professional and kind. They even offered to drop furniture that was in good shape at Goodwill. Exactly what we needed."

Estate Cleanout FAQ

How much does an estate cleanout cost in Fort Collins?

+

Most estate cleanouts in Fort Collins and Northern Colorado run $300–$600 for a typical 2–3 bedroom home. Single rooms or partial clearances start around $150–$250. Full property clearances for larger homes can run $600 or more. All pricing is flat-rate β€” quoted before we start, never revised on arrival. Get a free estimate β†’

Do I need to be present during the cleanout?

+

Not necessarily. Many families manage estate cleanouts remotely β€” they provide access, confirm what to take, and we send updates when the job is done. If you can be there for a walkthrough to point out what stays vs. what goes, that helps. But we understand not everyone can be local during this process. Call us to discuss how we can work with your situation.

How quickly can you schedule an estate cleanout in Fort Collins?

+

Same-day and next-day slots are frequently available. For estate cleanouts that require a full-day crew, we typically schedule 1–3 days out depending on availability. Call (970) 342-8523 to check what's open this week β€” we'll work with your timeline.

Do you donate items from estate cleanouts?

+

Yes. Items in usable condition β€” furniture, appliances, clothing, housewares β€” we'll drop at a local Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity ReStore on the way out. We don't charge extra for donation runs. If responsible recycling or donation matters to you, just let us know when you book.

What should I do with valuables, documents, and medications before the cleanout?

+

Set aside any legal documents (wills, deeds, financial records), jewelry, cash, prescription medications, and family heirlooms before we arrive. We don't sort through paperwork or small personal items β€” we haul what's designated. If you're not sure whether to keep something, pull it out and decide after we're done. It's easier to reconsider later than to recover something that's already hauled.

Can you handle a hoarding situation or a very full home?

+

Yes. We handle hoarding cleanouts regularly β€” no judgment, no commentary, just work. These jobs sometimes take multiple trips or a full day, which factors into the flat-rate quote. We'll give you an honest estimate based on what you describe, and we adjust the plan if the actual scope is different from what we expected. Call us first so we can staff the crew appropriately.
