Our house cleanout services cover homes, rentals, and residential properties that need unwanted belongings removed throughout the property.

Cleanouts for Different Property Needs


Out With The Old Junk Removal works with several types of residential cleanout projects:

  • Full house cleanouts: Remove unwanted belongings from bedrooms, living areas, kitchens, basements, and garages.
  • Rental property cleanouts: Clear items left behind after tenants move out so landlords can prepare for repairs or new occupants.
  • Real estate cleanouts: Remove unwanted furniture and household contents before listings, showings, or property transfers.
  • Property cleanouts: Help investors and property managers empty homes undergoing major changes.
  • Move-out cleanouts: Haul away belongings you don't plan to bring to your next home.

Some properties need a more specific approach. We also handle estate cleanouts for families managing inherited belongings, hoarder house cleanouts for homes with extensive clutter, and foreclosure cleanouts for properties that need unwanted contents removed.

What We Remove During a House Cleanout


A home cleanout can involve years of stored belongings spread across several rooms. We handle the heavy lifting and hauling for common household items, including:

  • Couches, chairs, tables, and other furniture
  • Mattresses, bed frames, and bedroom furniture
  • Refrigerators, washers, dryers, and other appliances
  • Boxes, clothing, and unwanted household belongings
  • Old electronics and miscellaneous clutter
  • Garage and basement contents
  • Carpeting and other removable materials, depending on the project

Some materials require special handling, so we'll review anything unusual before starting.

House Cleanout Help Throughout the Area

We help clear residential properties across the city, from established neighborhoods near downtown to homes in Bearden, West Hills, and South Knoxville. Whether you're managing a longtime family home or an investment property, we focus on removing unwanted contents while keeping your schedule and property needs in mind.


Large cleanouts can also go beyond what municipal collection is designed to handle. The city's bulky-waste program allows up to five items per week for eligible households, with restrictions on materials such as renovation debris and very heavy items.


When you're clearing several furnished rooms or an entire house, arranging a dedicated cleanout can reduce the need to coordinate separate pickups.

What Makes Our House Cleanouts Different?

A full property cleanout requires more than a crew that can lift furniture. You need clear scheduling, careful handling, and communication throughout the job. Out With The Old Junk Removal focuses on these details so you can manage the property without constantly checking on the removal work.

What Matters How We Handle It
Clear arrival times We provide one-hour arrival windows and notify you before arriving.
Respect for the property We handle unwanted belongings while taking care around the home.
Full-service hauling We handle the lifting, loading, and removal of agreed-upon items.
Completion updates We can provide photos or walk through the cleared areas with you.

For homeowners handling their own disposal, the city also operates a Transfer Station at 1033 Elm Street, which accepts residential waste under facility rules. A full-service cleanout lets you avoid transporting loads yourself.


The city's bulky-waste placement guidelines also require items to stay clear of streets and sidewalks, with at least three feet between items and trash carts. But with our service, you don't have to move an entire houseful of belongings to the curb.

Frequently Asked Questions About House Cleanouts

  • Do I need to empty the house before your crew arrives?

    No. That's the reason many people hire us. We handle removing the unwanted contents from the agreed-upon areas. You should set aside anything you want to keep, including important paperwork, valuables, and personal belongings, before the cleanout begins.

  • Can you clean out a house before it's listed for sale?

    Yes. We help remove unwanted furniture, stored belongings, and general clutter as part of a real estate cleanout. Clearing these items makes the property easier to access for repairs, painting, staging, or other preparations before listing.

  • What if a house has an unusually large amount of clutter?

    We can help with properties that have extensive accumulated belongings. We'll discuss the condition of the home, access to different rooms, and the amount of material involved before determining how to approach the cleanout.

  • Can you help with a vacant or foreclosed property?

    Yes. We help property managers, investors, and other authorized parties remove abandoned household contents. We'll discuss which areas need to be cleared and any property access arrangements before scheduling the work.

  • What information should I provide when requesting a house cleanout?

    A few details help us understand the scope of the project:

    • The property address and approximate size
    • Which rooms, storage spaces, or outdoor areas need clearing
    • The main types of unwanted belongings
    • Any stairs, restricted access, or unusual materials
