We sweep up before we leave

This is about a person, not just a house

Hoarding is often tied to loss, illness or a hard season of life. Clearing the home works best when the person living there is treated with respect. That’s how we work: calm, patient and never shaming.

How we approach a hoarding cleanout

No judgment

We don’t comment on the home or the person. We’re there to help.

Talk first, then work

We listen to the person and the family before anything is moved.

Keep what matters

Anything the family marks to keep stays in the home.

Clear, sort and haul

We remove what’s going, keep recycling apart from trash and handle the rest responsibly.

How we help with a hoarding situation

Families usually call us after a long stretch of worry. Sometimes it’s a parent whose home has slowly filled up. Sometimes a house has passed to the family after a death, and they’re seeing the extent of it for the first time. Either way, the feelings are real, and we try to honor them.

Start with a conversation. Call or text 717-434-4348. You can tell us as much or as little as you want. If it’s easier, send photos of a few rooms and we’ll reply with a free quote. There’s no pressure to book.

Going at the right pace. Every situation is different. Tell us what pace feels right for the person living there, whether that’s the whole home at once or one room at a time, and we’ll talk through what we can do when you send photos.

What families can do before we arrive:
  • Agree on a short list of things that must be kept, like papers, photos, medications or valuables
  • Choose one place in the home for anything you want to save
  • Decide who will be our point of contact on the day
  • Let us know about anything that makes access difficult, like blocked doorways or stairs
How we behave in the home. We send a photo of our crew by text ahead of time, so nobody is surprised by strangers at the door. We speak kindly, ask before we move things the person may care about, and keep our comments to ourselves. Ben and Jen started Junk Runner to treat people with patience and respect, and that matters most on a hard day.

Where things go. Items in good condition are donated or rehomed when we can. Recycling is sorted out, and whatever can’t be reused or recycled is disposed of responsibly. As we finish each area, we clean it up, so progress is easy to see.

If the home is part of an estate. Check with the family’s attorney or executor before items leave the house. We’ll schedule around their guidance.

Hoarding cleanouts take trust, and trust takes time. We’re a small, family-owned business run by Ben and Jen Jones, and we’d rather take a little longer than rush someone through the hardest day they’ve had in years.
