The best way to clear out a house full of junk is to set aside everything you plan to keep, then have one professional crew carry out the rest in a single visit. That is how Junk Master handles packed homes in Commerce City and across the Denver Metro. You make the decisions. Our crew does the lifting, loading, hauling and disposal.
Our truck holds 15 cubic yards, and you pay for the share your items fill, with labor, dump fees and cleanup included. What changes from one house to the next is the volume, the stairs and basement, and your deadline. Landlords turning a house between tenants can book a rental property cleanout in Commerce City that follows the same plan. Here is the order of work, what each load costs, what a crew cannot take, and how to protect your back and your valuables.
The Simplest Way to Empty a Packed House in Commerce City
The simplest way to empty a packed house in Commerce City is to split the job: you handle the decisions, and a crew handles the weight. The order is the same for an older home in Rose Hill, one of the city's older neighborhoods, as for a house near the Adams City High School campus at 72nd Avenue and Quebec Street.
- Walk every room, including the garage and basement, and note what you want to keep.
- Pull out papers, cash, jewelry, photos and keepsakes before anything else moves.
- Group items a crew cannot take, such as paint, solvents, oil and gasoline, in one spot.
- Call (720) 999-0466 for a free, no-obligation estimate. A photo helps, and we confirm the price with you by phone.
- Let the crew load from anywhere on the property and clean up the work area before they leave.
Which Room Should You Tackle First in a Cluttered Commerce City Home?
In a cluttered Commerce City home, tackle the walkways first: the front door, hallways and stairs. Clear paths let you move around safely and give the crew a straight route to the truck.
Next, go through the rooms where keepers tend to hide, such as bedrooms and any room used as an office. Box what you are saving and move it into one room you can close off.
Save the garage and basement for last, and leave their heavy contents to the crew. In older parts of the city, such as Irondale (first settled in 1889), allow extra time for sorting belongings a family has held onto for years. You do not need to drag anything to the driveway first, because loading from anywhere on the property is part of the price.
How Fast a Crew Can Clear a Full House in Commerce City
A crew can start clearing a full house in Commerce City as soon as the same day, because Junk Master offers same-day service. We work Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM, Saturday from 8 AM to 5 PM and Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM, so a weekend job does not have to wait.
Our base is at 12274 Joplin St in Commerce City, a city served by I-76, I-270 and US 85. The same crews cover Green Valley Ranch, Thornton, Northglenn and Aurora.
Once the crew arrives, the pace depends on three things. Volume matters, since larger homes may need more than one full load. Access matters too: stairs, basements and narrow halls add carrying time. Then there is sorting, the part you control. When the keepers are already boxed and separated, the crew can load without stopping to ask about each item.
Do You Have to Be Present While a Crew Empties Your Commerce City House?
You do not have to be present while our crew empties your Commerce City house, as long as the crew has access to the property and can reach you by phone. That helps owners who work during the day or are handling a parent's home from out of town. Tell us how the crew gets in and which room holds the keepers, and keep your phone nearby.
What Clearing a Whole House Costs in Commerce City
Clearing a whole house in Commerce City costs whatever share of our truck the contents fill, from an $85 minimum to $550 for a full load. The truck measures 12 feet long, 7 feet wide and 5 feet high. A full load equals about four regular pickup truckloads.
| Load size | Approximate volume | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum charge | Smallest jobs | $85 |
| 1/8 load | About 2 cubic yards | $150 |
| 1/4 load | About 3.75 cubic yards (about one pickup load) | $250 |
| 1/3 load | About 5 cubic yards | $300 |
| 1/2 load | About 7.5 cubic yards (about two pickup loads) | $350 |
| 2/3 load | About 10 cubic yards | $400 |
| 3/4 load | About 11.25 cubic yards (about three pickup loads) | $450 |
| Full load | 15 cubic yards (about four pickup loads) | $550 |
Every price includes labor, loading, dump fees and cleanup. 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.
- If you are clearing one packed room or a garage, send a photo first so we can tell you which row it fits.
- If the whole house is full, book an on-site estimate so the crew sees every room, the stairs and the basement.
- If you face a closing date, a move or a tenant turnover, call early and ask for same-day service.
Homes from Southern Adams City to the streets around the Civic Center at 60th Avenue and Trenton Street are in Commerce City, our primary service area. For homes outside the area, any charge for added drive distance is stated before you book.
Household Items a Commerce City Junk Crew Cannot Take
A Commerce City junk crew like ours will not take hazardous materials: paint, chemicals, solvents, oil and gasoline. Those items fall under separate disposal rules.
Colorado keeps liquid paint, automotive fluids and liquid household chemicals out of regular trash, and Denver does not allow liquid paint in its trash bins, according to the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment. Commerce City, which sits in Adams County, also treats aerosol cans, all types of batteries, propane tanks and fire extinguishers as household hazardous waste.
Group these items in one corner of the garage so the crew can work around them. We can point you to Denver's Household Hazardous Waste program. Homeowners in Green Valley Ranch and elsewhere in Denver can call 720-913-1311 or 311 with environmental questions.
What Is the Safest Way to Clear a Severely Packed Home in Commerce City?
The safest way to clear a severely packed home in Commerce City is to handle signs of rodents carefully and leave the heavy work to a crew. If you find droppings, the CDC's rodent cleanup guidance says to wear rubber or plastic gloves and never sweep or vacuum them, because that can put virus-containing droplets into the air. Spray the area until very wet with a fresh mix of 1 part household bleach to 9 parts water, or an EPA-registered disinfectant, and let it soak for 5 minutes. OSHA notes that respirators may be needed near heavy rodent infestations.
We handle hoarder cleanouts, so a severely packed house is a job we take on. Mention pests or heavy clutter when you call for the estimate.
How to Protect Your Back and Your Belongings During a Big Cleanout in Commerce City
You protect your back and your belongings during a big Commerce City cleanout by doing the sorting yourself and handing the carrying to the crew. The CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health warns: "Improper lifting can cause back injuries." A full house means dressers, mattresses, appliances and box after box, often on stairs.
Our crews do all the lifting, loading, hauling and disposal, whether the item sits on the second floor, in the basement or at the back of the yard. The same goes for a house just off Brighton Boulevard or East 52nd Avenue and for homes in Thornton or Aurora.
For your belongings, the simplest protection is one closed "keep" room with a sign on the door. Anything in that room stays. Anything outside it goes.
Which Papers and Valuables Should You Set Aside Before a House Cleanout in Commerce City?
Before a house cleanout in Commerce City, set aside papers and valuables that would be hard to replace:
- Deeds, vehicle titles, wills and insurance policies
- Tax records and bank statements
- Passports, birth certificates and Social Security cards
- Cash, jewelry, coins and keys
- Family photos, letters and keepsakes
Check coat pockets, dresser drawers, purses, books and boxes labeled as something else. Move what you find into the keep room before the truck arrives.
