Estate Cleanout Guide

By Mason Slavens & Landon Bethers · Junk-A-Saurus · Updated June 30, 2026

Clearing out a home after a loss or a move is emotional and overwhelming. Breaking it into steps makes it manageable — and you don't have to do the heavy part alone.

Step 1: Secure the important things first

Before sorting, set aside documents, photos, jewelry, and anything with sentimental or legal value. Check drawers, safes, and hidden spots.

Step 2: Sort room by room

Work one room at a time into four groups: keep, give to family, donate/sell, and junk. Don't try to do the whole house at once.

Step 3: Donate what's usable

Furniture, housewares, and clothing in good shape can go to local charities.

Step 4: Haul the rest

The "junk" group — worn furniture, old appliances, accumulated clutter — is where we help. Junk-A-Saurus does full estate cleanouts: we clear out everything you point to, with care and respect, and leave the home broom-swept.

We can work at your pace. Call or text 801-516-9569 for a free, no-pressure quote.

A simple estate cleanout timeline

Start by setting aside anything the family wants to keep, then flag items for appraisal or sale, then donations, and finally the true junk. Working in that order keeps keepsakes safe and makes the rest go quickly. Estate cleanouts often surface heavy furniture, a packed garage and decades of accumulation, so it helps to have a crew that can clear a whole home in a visit or two — carefully, respectfully and on your timeline.
