Estate cleanouts in Salem, Derry, and across southern New Hampshire
Trash King is a family-run Salem, NH junk removal company with 300+ five-star Google reviews. Clearing out a parent's house is the job reviewers describe most often. One family's home held 40 years of belongings, another 62 years, and both were cleared in a single visit. Tyler and the crew have also emptied a relative's apartment the day after the call. They have cleared a house in probate so it could be listed for sale.
An estate house cleanout is rarely just junk removal. Furniture, appliances, paperwork, photos, and keepsakes are mixed together, and the family is often making decisions from a distance. The crew works room by room, sets aside anything you flag, and removes everything else.
For a house that is simply full and needs no sorting, see our residential cleanout services. If the home has been filling up for years and every room is packed, see our hoarder cleanout services page. It explains how that kind of job works. You can see cleared rooms in the before-and-after gallery.
Who calls Trash King for an estate cleanout
- Executors and family members. A parent or relative has passed away or moved to a smaller place, and the house has to be emptied. Often the family lives out of town and needs one call to handle it.
- Real estate agents and the families they represent. A house in probate or under contract that must be cleared before listing, photos, or closing. One reviewer was “referred from my realtor”; another needed “a major cleanout prior to being listed for sale.”
- Landlords and property managers. A tenant's belongings left behind in an apartment, condo, or rental house.
- Families downsizing a parent. Decades of accumulated belongings that the family cannot sort and haul alone. One reviewer's father “felt overwhelmed and tried to cancel the job”; Tyler “put his mind at ease.”
What is separate from the cleanout
Trash King removes and disposes of the contents. We are not an estate sale company, an appraiser, a cleaning service, or a law office. If you want items appraised, sold, or donated, set them aside before the cleanout or tell Tyler which rooms to leave alone. Cleaning, repairs, and anything hazardous are separate jobs; mention them up front so Tyler can say what the crew will handle.
What a Trash King estate cleanout includes
Respect for the family’s belongings
One reviewer wrote that Tyler “showed real compassion given our circumstance.” The crew treats the house as a family home, not a job site.
You decide what stays
Before anything leaves, you point out documents, photos, jewelry, keepsakes, and anything else the family is keeping. Anything the crew is unsure about gets set aside for your decision, not tossed.
One room, one floor, or the whole property
Start with the basement or garage, or clear the entire house, apartment, or condo. The scope is yours to set, and it can grow once you see the first space emptied.
Sorting, loading, hauling, and disposal
We bring the crew and the trucks for furniture, appliances, boxes, and everything in between. No dumpster rental, no trips to the transfer station, and no heavy lifting for the family.
Fast scheduling
Most of our reviewers mention same-day or next-day service. One family’s apartment was cleared “the very next day after we called.” Share any listing, closing, or lease deadline and Tyler will tell you what is realistic.
A fair quote for the property
Pricing depends on the size of the home, how full it is, and access, not a flat rate. Free quote, no hidden fees, and reviewers consistently describe the pricing as fair.
How an estate cleanout works
Call or send the quote form
Tell Tyler the town, the type of property, which rooms are involved, roughly how full they are, and any deadline. Photos help if you have them, especially if you live far away.
Walkthrough and quote
Tyler looks at the property in person or from your photos. He talks through what is being removed and what stays, then gives you a quote before anything is scheduled.
Cleanout day
The crew works room by room, sets aside anything you have flagged, and loads and hauls everything else. You can be there, send a family member or agent, or arrange access. Your call.
Cleared, loaded, gone
You get the property back. If it needs cleaning or repairs before listing, Tyler will say so. That work falls outside our scope, so you can line it up separately.
How much does an estate cleanout cost?
It depends on the size of the job: how many rooms, how full they are, stairs and access, and whether anything needs special handling. That is why we quote each property individually instead of posting a flat rate. Quotes are free, and reviewers consistently describe the pricing as fair.

What families say about Trash King estate cleanouts
"My parents’ house had been filled with junk for over 40 years and the task of cleaning it out seemed impossible but with the help of Tyler and his amazing crew the house is now cleared out! Tyler was very responsive, timely, personable, and persistent! My dad felt overwhelmed and tried to cancel the job the first go around but Tyler put his mind at ease and assured him they could get the job done as stress free as possible and that is exactly what happened!"
"I can’t say enough good things about Tyler and his crew at Trash King. We needed to clean out my recently deceased mother-in-law’s apartment, and they stepped up to the challenge the very next day after we called. They were able to do in an hour what would have taken us a whole day. On top of that, Tyler showed real compassion given our circumstance. Highly recommended!"
"Tyler and his crew were fabulous. They did a huge clean out for me in one day for a house that was in probate and needed a major cleanout prior to being listed for sale. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Salem is home base, and Derry, Londonderry, Nashua, and Manchester, NH, plus Lowell and Dracut, MA, are the towns we work in most. For a large estate cleanout outside those towns, Tyler will travel further. Tell him where the property is when you call.
Most of our reviewers mention same-day or next-day service, and one family’s apartment was cleared the day after they called. Larger houses can take longer or be done in phases. Share any listing, closing, or lease deadline and Tyler will tell you what is realistic.
Not if you tell us. Before the crew starts, point out documents, photos, jewelry, and anything else that stays, or mark the rooms to leave alone. Anything the crew is not sure about gets set aside for you to decide.
Yes. Apartments, condos, and rental units are common estate cleanouts, including belongings left behind by a tenant. Tell Tyler about elevators, stairs, parking, and building rules so the crew can plan the load-out.
We work to the executor’s or agent’s timeline and have cleared houses in probate so they could be listed. Trash King does not give legal or tax advice; your attorney or agent handles that side, and we handle the contents.
