Clearing a home after a loss, or before a move
Some of the hardest calls we take come after a death in the family. Others come before a big move. In both cases we slow down, listen, and handle a lifetime of belongings with care.
- Grief, and a house full of memories
- Family members who don’t agree on what to keep
- An executor or family living out of state
- Worry about strangers handling personal things

Estate and downsizing cleanouts in Gettysburg
When a family calls us about a Gettysburg home, there is often more going on than a cleanout. Someone may have just lost a parent or a spouse. We know that. Ben, a retired police officer, and Jen started Junk Runner to give families a crew that is patient, kind and respectful of the home.
Estate cleanouts: our estate cleanout and family support service lets the family set the pace. There’s no rush to decide what stays. We can work around rooms you aren’t ready to touch, and come back for the rest later. For probate or estate questions, please check with the family’s attorney or executor first.
Downsizing: if a parent is moving to a smaller home or senior living, our downsizing cleanouts help clear what won’t fit. We carry everything out, from bedroom sets to boxes in the attic.
What we do on the day:
Harder situations: if a home has become overwhelming over the years, our hoarding cleanouts are handled quietly and without judgement.
Personal papers and keepsakes: photos, letters, jewellery and paperwork often turn up in drawers and closets. If we come across anything that looks personal or important, we set it aside for the family instead of throwing it out. Let us know ahead of time if there’s something specific you’re hoping to find, and we’ll keep an eye out for it. Some families like to walk through the house with us first. Others prefer to send a list and let us work. Either way is fine, and you can change your mind as we go.
Gettysburg is in Adams County, the same county as our home base in East Berlin. We also serve nearby New Oxford and Littlestown. Quotes are free from photos sent by text to 717-434-4348, and most jobs are finished the same day or within 48 hours.
