If you have a house full of items and are looking to save money, there are ways you can clean out your entire house for free!
This process requires more work and time thank hiring a professional cleanout service, but will save you money on your cleanout.
Step-By-Step Free House Cleanout Guide
Step 1: Organize Your Items
The first step in the cleanout process is to organize what you are keeping, what is trash, and what is valuable. This is the most time-consuming process, but it helps make your cleanout go more smoothly.
For example, bag up unwanted items into trash bags. For items you are keeping, move them into a storage unit or POD. There will most likely be items that you do not wish to keep but aren’t trash such as furniture, appliances, etc. You can keep these items in-place, but be sure to remove them of trash. Cleaning the items goes a long way as well.
Step 2: Find a Service
There are individuals who will clean out an entire house including the garbage just to keep some valuable items. For example, if you have 100 garbage bags worth of trash, but some bedroom sets, these individuals may take the job on. Beware though, most companies that offer “free” cleanouts are not licensed or insured.
If you decide to hire a free cleanout service, be sure to get references and make sure they dispose of your trash items properly. Many free services illegally dump trash in order to save money.
Step 3: Clean Out the House
Now that you have all your items separated and a company lined up to clean out the house, it’s time to start!
The cleanout process will take about 1-2 days for most small liquidation services. The time taken depends on the amount of employees and the trucks hauling your items away.
The entire process from separating your items, to bagging trash, to cleaning out the house takes approximately 1 week. We recommend taking a week off from work to expedite this process. The benefit is your cleanout should cost little to no money if you manage it yourself.
A Better Option
If you don’t have a week to clean out your house, a better option would be to hire a professional cleanout service.
Most reputable cleanout companies such as A+ Enterprises charge for their services. The reason we charge and some do not is because we donate your items instead of selling them. We have a large crew & fleet of trucks arrive to clean out your house. A weeklong cleanout process can be reduced to as little as 2 hours for a company like ours.
Essentially, you pay for the convenience of having a hands-off cleanout process, as well as having your goods donated to the less fortunate. We are fully licensed & insured and have 60+ 5 star reviews. We travel throughout all of Pennsylvania for estate & property cleanouts, and offer same-day service.

Sal and his team are amazing! They came and did a clean out the same day I called. They are honest, flexible, quick, and professional. They are worth every penny they charge. I wouldn't consider calling anyone else. Ryan K.

March 8, 2019I can't say enough about Sal. He was very patient, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to ensure my company was taken care of. I absolutely recommend anyone to use this company. They get in and out very quickly and offer a great price. They also stick to their word which is very rare now-a-days!

October 25, 2019Kyle and Joe were wonderful! Very efficient process. I called and gave brief information to a very professional person. They came out the next day. Wiped their feet, quoted me a very fair price, and removed my furniture. I’m very pleased with their service and friendliness. I will definitely recommend them to my family and friends! Meredith R.

May 22, 2020Great company! They were able to come quickly on short notice. Excellent pricing. We added a bit from our initial quote and the cost changed very reasonably. Communication was quick, clear, and professional. Definitely recommend!!

EXTREMELY PLEASANT AND PROFESSIONAL! Gave them a call to remove some old furniture and assorted boxes of junk. They said the had a crew in my area the next morning and could be here at 9am. Arrived right at 9 on the dot and got straight to work. They battled through all my cobwebs and work quick and efficiently. No trouble or damage from moving some big items in narrow areas. The price they quoted was great value for all the work they did. I have already and will continue to HIGHLY recommend them.

August 3, 2019Sal really helped us out. We needed some junk removed right away and he got there within a couple of hours, was very professional and polite and did not charge an arm and a leg. He has a customer for life in us now!

December 24, 2018I never leave reviews but Sal (I think his name is) was great. Both times we used them they showed up the next day on time and did a fast and efficient job. Personable and reliable. Highly recommend.

Sal was great to work with. I was so stressed about a large deck in the back of my house that was collapsing. Sal came right over and gave me a very fair price and two days later the job was done. And a really good job. He even hauled away a piece of junk for me at the last minute. I highly recommend this company and plan to use them again as the need arises

January 22, 2020I got a 100% accurate estimate from the owner and he dispatched a crew to clean out my house the next day (!). The guys were professional and very nice and personable, making a tough situation much easier to handle. Moreover, they worked until the job was done way over my expectations. This company has the best prices in our area and they are complete pros. I would recommend them to anyone...don't hesitate and call A+ first! They will be my first call in the future!
