When a whole house needs to be emptied — an estate, a hoarding situation, or a rental left full — we bring the crew, the truck, and a donation-first sorting process. Written quote up front, half-truck loads from $250, full trucks $500–$700.
Get a Free Quote Call 226-770-8678Every full-house job is different, but they share one thing: the volume is overwhelming for one family or one landlord to deal with alone. We do the sorting, the lifting, the hauling, and the disposal decisions — you make the calls on what stays.
Clearing a loved one's home after a passing or a move to care. Handled with patience and discretion — valuables, documents, and photos are set aside, never assumed to be junk.
Judgment-free, methodical clearing at a pace the occupant and family can live with. Unmarked loads on request; important items flagged as we go.
Tenant left everything behind? We clear apartments and student rentals to broom-swept condition fast, so the unit can be re-listed instead of sitting empty.
The quote. Full-property jobs start with a free walkthrough — we come to the house, usually within a day or two, walk each room with you, and give a written quote for the whole job: how many truck loads, how many days, and the total price. Out of town, or handling an estate from another city? Send photos or a phone video instead and we'll quote from those. Executors managing Guelph properties remotely do this with us all the time.
Donation-first sorting. This is the part families care about most, and it's the part cut-rate haulers skip. As we clear each room, we build three streams: donate, recycle, dispose. Usable furniture, kitchenware, clothing, tools, and books are loaded separately and dropped at Guelph donation outlets — Habitat for Humanity ReStore for furniture and building materials, and drop-offs like Bibles for Missions Thrift Store and Value Village for household goods and clothing. We're not affiliated with these organizations; they're simply where usable items in Guelph do the most good. Scrap metal and electronics go to recycling, and only what's genuinely unusable goes to disposal. Throughout, we watch for the things that matter: documents, photographs, jewellery, cash tucked in books — anything personal is set aside for the family, always.
Timelines. A lightly furnished condo can be cleared in an afternoon. A typical three-bedroom Guelph home is one to two days. A heavily accumulated property or a long-term hoarding situation may run three to five days. If you're working against a real-estate closing, a probate deadline, or a first-of-the-month lease turnover, tell us the date — we schedule backwards from it and have never blown a closing.
Some families consider renting a dumpster instead, and for a homeowner with weeks of time, helpers, and nothing worth donating, it can be cheaper on paper. But a dumpster arrives empty: you still do every hour of sorting, carrying, and loading yourself, you pay for airspace whether you fill it well or badly, and everything in it goes to landfill — including the dining set that should have gone to someone's first apartment. A crew costs more per cubic yard but includes all the labour, diverts usable items to donation, and compresses weeks into days. For estates being prepared for sale, the faster listing usually outweighs the difference. (We compare the two approaches in more depth in our junk removal vs. dumpster rental guide.)
Pricing is by truck volume, quoted for the whole job up front. As a guide: a half-truck load runs $250–$400 and a full truck $500–$700, including labour, hauling, disposal fees, and donation runs. Most single-home estates come to one to three loads. Heavy materials (concrete, renovation debris) and appliance-dense loads are priced accordingly — see our appliance removal page for how fridges and freezers are handled, or our mattress & furniture removal page if the job is really just a few big items rather than a whole house.

Donation-first sorting to Guelph outlets before anything is disposed
A typical three-bedroom home cleared in one to two days
Respectful, judgment-free crews — unmarked loads on request
Cleanouts are priced by truck volume. A half-truck load typically runs $250–$400 and a full truck $500–$700, including labour, hauling, and disposal fees. Most single-home estate cleanouts in Guelph involve one to three truck loads. We quote the full job up front after a walkthrough or photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Two ways: a free in-person walkthrough, usually within a day or two of your call, or photos and a video sent by text or email if you're out of town. Either way you get a written quote for the whole job — number of loads, timeline, and total price — before anything is touched.
Yes — we sort donation-first. Usable furniture, housewares, clothing, and books are set aside and dropped at Guelph-area outlets such as Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Bibles for Missions Thrift Store, and Value Village donation drop-offs. Families often find it comforting that a loved one's belongings get a second life rather than a dumpster.
A typical three-bedroom Guelph home takes one to two days. Lightly furnished homes or single-floor condos can be done in an afternoon; heavily accumulated or hoarding situations may take three to five days. We'll give you a firm timeline with the quote — and if you're working against a closing date or lease deadline, tell us and we'll plan backwards from it.
A dumpster only makes sense if you have the time, labour, and stomach to fill it yourself — and nothing worth donating. A crew costs somewhat more but includes all sorting, carrying, and loading, diverts usable items to donation, and finishes in days instead of weeks. For estates being sold, most families find the crew pays for itself in a faster listing date.
Yes. Hoarding cleanouts are done without judgment, at the pace the occupant or family is comfortable with, in unmarked-load fashion if requested. We watch carefully for documents, photos, cash, and valuables as we sort, and set aside anything that looks personal or important for the family to review.
Tell us about the property — size, how full it is, and any deadline — and we'll arrange a walkthrough or quote from your photos.
