Out of Sight, Out of Mind: When Your Attic Needs a Cleanout

Jan 12, 2022

Is your attic overflowing with... stuff? Whether you're the homeowner, a house flipper, a renter who's moving, or a property manager prepping for a new tenant, dealing with a crammed attic can feel overwhelming.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

The attic seems like a great place to stash things so they're out of sight and out of the way. After all, it's generally a big, open, and unused space. Why not use the attic for storage? However, if you send things up there 'now and then' with no organizational plan in place, clutter chaos ensues!


Is Your Attic Full of Things Like These?


  • Unused small appliances
  • Old electronics
  • Broken or outdated furniture
  • Seasonal decorations (lots of seasonal decorations!)
  • Unwanted gifts
  • Outgrown clothing and toys


If so, it's definitely time for an attic cleanout!

Don't Harbor Uninvited House Guests in Your Attic

You'll want to have your attic emptied out before squirrel breeding season arrives in January. Neighborhood squirrels like nothing better than a warm, cozy attic full of secluded nesting places in which to raise their babies! Unless you want your attic turned into a maternity ward, nursery, and preschool for up to six of the inquisitive (and messy!) little critters, you'll need to make it much less appealing.

Responsible Junk Disposal

Junk is not necessarily trash. A reputable junk removal company will give your unwanted items a second chance whenever possible. Recycling and upcycling (or transforming) items can keep them out of the landfill. Donations of unwanted junk can really help out organizations in need.

Professional junk removal companies will use eco-friendly options like donating or recycling, rather than the dump, whenever they can.
