Top 6 Types of Foreclosure Cleanouts

Every foreclosed home is different but there are six types of junk that many of them have in common. Is the home you're preparing to sell full of the items below? Good luck cleaning it out without professional help!

1. Furniture. Often furniture is left behind during the foreclosure process. This is especially true of broken-down sofas, low-quality pieces, and old mattresses.
2. Appliances. Another type of frequently abandoned possessions are appliances, especially the ones too bulky or expensive to move. 
3. Carpets. The home might be filled with old, stained, or damaged carpet. There might even be smelly carpets (we're looking at you, tomcats and piddle puppies!) that will need to be removed before you can start showing the home.
4. Yard Waste. Has the yard received any care lately? Showing a neglected yard some love can result in piles of tree limbs, heaps of leaves or weeds, and plenty of other unsightly garden refuse that's been hiding the beautiful yard beneath.
5. Outdoor Items. Once you can actually see the yard, are there abandoned gardening tools, an old playset, or a sad hot tub? You guessed it, more junk to haul away!
6. Miscellaneous Trash & Damage. Losing a home to eviction or foreclosure is devastating. As a result of the trauma of either type of loss, you'll often find clutter, trash, and even damaged countertops or fixtures that will need to be removed.

When choosing a company, it's important to understand what they'll do with the junk. Responsible junk removal companies will donate or recycle whatever they can and only use the landfill as a last resort.
