Hoarding Cleanup
Top Shelf Hoarding Cleanup
Top Shelf Junk Removal Services For Homes and Businesses
Is clutter piling up faster than you can keep up with? Maybe it’s a few rooms you avoid, a hallway you can’t walk through anymore, or a home that’s filled wall-to-wall with things that “might be useful someday.” Whether you’re facing this yourself or helping a loved one, hoarding is more common—and more complicated—than most people realize. Hoarding isn’t just a messy house. It’s a real condition that often stems from anxiety, trauma, depression, or grief. For many people, letting go of items—no matter how small—can feel overwhelming or even impossible. Over time, this can turn a once-functional home into a space that’s unsafe, unsanitary, or isolating. And when things reach that point, cleaning up isn’t just about hauling stuff away—it’s about helping someone take their life back.
At Top Shelf Moving and Junk Removal, we understand how sensitive hoarding situations can be. We’ve worked with families, caseworkers, landlords, and individuals all across the Treasure Valley, helping clean up everything from mild clutter to extreme hoarding conditions. Our team shows up with compassion, patience, and a game plan—ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work without making anyone feel ashamed or judged. If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or just don’t know where to begin, that’s okay. We’re here to help. Whether it’s sorting and removing items, coordinating with cleaning services, or handling full-scale disposal, we’ve got your back every step of the way. It’s never “too far gone” for a fresh start.

How Much Does Hoarding Cleanup Cost?
We base our hoarding cleanup pricing on the volume of items we remove, the amount of labor involved, and any special handling required. Every job is different, so we provide clear, upfront quotes with no pressure and no hidden fees. Our pricing includes all labor, transportation, and responsible disposal of debris.
Several factors can affect the cost of a hoarding cleanout, including:
- Level of accumulation A few cluttered rooms may take less time and effort than a whole home filled floor-to-ceiling.
- Ease of access Tight hallways, narrow stairs, or blocked entryways can slow things down and require more crew support.
- Sorting and salvage requests If you’d like us to help sort items, set aside valuables, or identify donation-worthy belongings, we’re happy to—but it may increase labor time.
- Biohazards or special waste If we encounter mold, animal waste, expired food, or other hazardous materials, extra precautions and proper disposal methods may be required.
- Final touch-ups Once the clutter is gone, we can include basic sweeping, debris removal, and freshening up the space to make it safe and usable again.
We’re happy to provide a free on-site estimate and walk you through what to expect. No two hoarding situations are the same, and we’ll tailor our approach—and pricing—to meet your specific needs.
