5 Most Difficult Eviction Cleanouts

Oct 14, 2022

Evictions are hard on all parties concerned. If you've been placed in the unfortunate position of having to evict tenants, there is help available when it comes to dealing with the residue left behind. Whether it's heaps of trash, belongings your former tenants were unable to take with them, or spiteful destruction, a professional junk removal company can take care of it for you.


Junk removal experts can help property managers clean out apartments, multi-family homes, and other commercial spaces after an eviction.

5 Most Difficult Eviction Cleanouts

Some areas of a property are more difficult to clean out than others. This is true even when the areas are full of your own belongings. It's much worse when you have no idea what to expect while doing an eviction cleanout.

1. Attics

The attic of a house tends to collect a haphazard assortment of unwanted, outgrown, broken-down, and forgotten stuff. It's also frequently home to unwelcome guests such as spiders, mice, and rats. In late winter/early spring, you may even find squirrels in the attic.

2. Garages

Garages are another area that tends to collect a lot of random junk. From old bikes to random tools to oily car parts, a garage can be a mess to sort through. They also tend to collect spiders among all of the clutter.

3. Sheds and Pools 

Have your former tenants left behind a shed or above-ground pool? Professional junk removers can take care of both of those for you, leaving the yard ready for new tenants to enjoy.

4. Appliances

Are you faced with replacing damaged appliances or dealing with appliances your former tenants left behind? Unfortunately, disposing of appliances is always difficult. Besides being heavy and awkward to move, appliances must be disposed of properly.


Those in good, usable condition can usually be donated. But what about the others? Older appliances and AC units often contain environmentally harmful chemicals. They aren't accepted at landfills and must be disposed of at a recycling center.

5. Mattresses

Like old carpets, used mattresses and box springs are unwieldy, often heavy, and difficult to dispose of due to the risk of spreading those dreaded bed bugs. Many charities won't take them because of that. Junk removal experts will know how to handle mattresses and dispose of them safely and properly.
