Who Books Estate Cleanouts in Commerce City, CO
An estate cleanout usually falls to the people left in charge of a house after a death: a son or daughter, a sibling, or the executor named in the will. The executor, also called the personal representative, is the person the court gives authority to act for the person who died and to handle the estate's property (Colorado probate basics). That person, or someone they have approved, is the one who books us.
Most families are working against a date. A listing agent wants empty rooms for photos, a lease is ending, or relatives flew in for the funeral and have only a few days in town. We handle the heavy work so the family can spend those days on paperwork and on each other.
We clear homes across Commerce City, including Rose Hill and Southern Adams City, two of the communities incorporated as Commerce Town in 1952 (city history), along with Derby. Estate work is one part of our house clearance service in Commerce City, so the same crew can take on the whole property.
What Our Crew Clears From a Commerce City Estate
An estate cleanout covers everything the family does not plan to keep, wherever it sits on the property. Typical loads include:
- Furniture such as couches, mattresses, dressers, tables and patio sets
- Appliances, including refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, stoves and water heaters
- Boxes, clothing, linens, books and kitchen goods
- Basement and garage storage, from old shelving to tools
- Yard waste, branches, old sheds and fencing
Loading from anywhere on the property is part of the price. A packed basement in Rose Hill or a backyard shed on a street near Buffalo Run Golf Course costs nothing extra to reach. We sort every load and send what we can to recycling.
The one limit is hazardous material. We cannot take paint, chemicals, solvents, oil or gasoline, so set those aside.
If the rooms are too full to walk through, our hoarder cleanouts service is the better fit. For a home that is not part of an estate, see house cleanouts.
How an Estate Cleanout Works in Commerce City, Step by Step
Interstates 76 and 270, U.S. 85 and E-470 are the main highways around Commerce City, so a house off East 52nd Avenue near Riverside Cemetery or one along Brighton Boulevard is an easy drive from our shop. Here is how a job runs:
- Call us. Tell us the address, which rooms and buildings need clearing, and your deadline.
- Get a free estimate. We can look at the home in person at no charge, or you can send photos. We confirm the price with you by phone before any work starts.
- Mark what stays. Point out the furniture, boxes and keepsakes the family is keeping. Only what you want gone goes on the truck.
- We clear the house. The crew works room by room and carries everything out, including from basements, upper floors, garages and sheds.
- We sort the loads. Recycling comes first.
- We clean up. The crew cleans the work area before leaving. If we miss something, we come back for it.
You do not have to be at the house. As long as the crew can get inside and reach you by phone, the job can go ahead while you are at work or in another state.
Estate Cleanout Cost in Commerce City, CO by Load Size
You pay for the space your items take up in our truck. The same table applies to a house in Derby or one near Eagle Pointe Recreation Center:
| Load | Price |
|---|---|
| Minimum charge | $85 |
| 1/8 load | $150 |
| 1/4 load | $250 |
| 1/3 load | $300 |
| 1/2 load | $350 |
| 2/3 load | $400 |
| 3/4 load | $450 |
| Full load | $550 |
Our truck holds 15 cubic yards and measures 12 feet long, 7 feet wide and 5 feet high. A full load equals about four regular pickup truckloads, so a large house can take more than one load.
The price covers labor, loading from anywhere on the property, disposal fees and cleanup of the work area. The only extra is the local government recycling fee on computers and TVs, which we pass through. We take major credit and debit cards or cash.
Getting the House Ready Before the Crew Arrives
A little preparation lets the crew start loading as soon as they pull up:
- Remove jewelry, cash, medications and important papers such as wills, titles, bank records and family photos.
- Put a note or tape on anything that stays, or move it to one room.
- Make sure the executor has approved the cleanout before the date is set.
- Set paint, chemicals, solvents, oil and gasoline aside, since we cannot haul them.
- Tell us where the truck can park and mention any locked gates or steep stairs, for a home on a quiet street by Pioneer Park or one near the Civic Center at 60th Avenue and Trenton Street.
- If you live out of town, arrange how the crew will get in and keep your phone nearby on the day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Cleanouts in Commerce City, CO
What Does an Estate Cleanout Cost in Commerce City, CO, by Load Size?
An estate cleanout in Commerce City is priced by load size, from the $85 minimum charge up to $550 for a full truckload. A 1/4 load is $250 and a 1/2 load is $350. Larger homes can need more than one full load. Labor, loading, disposal fees and cleanup are included, and the only extra is the recycling fee on computers and TVs.
Who Authorizes an Estate Cleanout of a Commerce City Home?
The executor, also called the personal representative, authorizes an estate cleanout because that person is the one given authority to handle the estate's property. A family member can book the job with the executor's approval. If you are unsure who holds that authority, settle it with the family or an attorney before the date is set, then call us to schedule the estimate.
Can Out-of-State Family Book an Estate Cleanout in Commerce City Without Being Present?
Yes, family who live out of state can book an estate cleanout in Commerce City without being present. The crew needs a way into the house and a phone number where we can reach you during the job. Send photos for the estimate, confirm the price with us by phone, and tell us which items stay. We handle the rest while you stay home.
How Does the Crew Set Aside Keepsakes During a Commerce City Estate Cleanout?
The crew sets aside keepsakes in a Commerce City estate cleanout by working from what you mark before loading starts. Tape a note on anything staying or gather it in one room, and only what you want gone goes on the truck. Take jewelry, cash, important papers and photos out of the house beforehand, since those small items are the easiest to overlook.
Can a Commerce City Estate Cleanout Start the Same Day I Call?
A Commerce City estate cleanout can start the same day you call when the schedule allows, since same-day service is available. Calling early gives us the best chance of fitting a large house into the day. Our hours are Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM, Saturday from 8 AM to 5 PM and Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM. Call (720) 999-0466 to check today's openings.
Which Household Items Can the Crew Not Haul From a Commerce City Estate?
The crew cannot haul hazardous materials from a Commerce City estate, which means paint, chemicals, solvents, oil and gasoline. Set those aside before the crew arrives so loading is not held up. Furniture, appliances, boxes, clothing, yard waste and garage contents are all fine to haul. Computers and TVs are accepted too, with the local recycling fee passed through. Call (720) 999-0466 to book.
