Estate cleanout, at your family's pace
Settling a home takes time, and it shouldn't be rushed by a truck's schedule. Book pickups as rooms are ready — one or several, up to 30 days ahead — with every item priced before you pay and a photo confirmation when each pickup is done. Usable furniture is donated when possible.

An estate cleanout costs $275–$4,000 with a full-service company — Angi's 2025 average is $1,250. Dropcurb's curbside model prices each item instead: pickups start at $79 and a full room of furniture typically runs $200–$400, with the exact total shown before you pay and pickups schedulable up to 30 days ahead.
Ways to clear an estate, compared
| Option | Timeline | Cost | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dropcurb curbside pickup | Same-day to 30 days out, as many pickups as needed | Per item, from $79; a full room typically $200–$400 | Family stages items at the curb or driveway |
| Full-service estate cleanout company | Scheduled project, often multi-day | $275–$4,000; Angi's 2025 average is $1,250 | Quotes usually require a walkthrough, and estate-sale firms keep 35–40% of sale proceeds as commission |
| Charity donation pickup | By appointment; availability varies by location | Free | Selective — the Salvation Army won't take mattresses, box springs, or damaged furniture, and Habitat ReStore accepts only pieces ready to sell as-is |
| 1-800-GOT-JUNK | Scheduled windows | Volume-priced; third-party surveys put full truckloads at $700–$1,000 | No online quotes — the all-inclusive price comes from an on-site estimate after the crew arrives |
| Dumpster rental | Delivered in 1–3 days, sits at the home about a week | $294–$480 typical for a week (HomeAdvisor 2025) | You load everything yourself, street permits run $10–$100 in many cities, and nothing gets donated |

How it works
Book when a room is ready
Select the items going and see the exact total before you pay. Schedule same-day or up to 30 days ahead — whatever the family's timeline needs.
Set items at the curb or driveway
Haulers never enter the home, so nothing is touched except what the family has already decided on. No one needs to be there.
Photo confirmation, every time
A photo text the moment each pickup is complete — useful for out-of-town family and for the estate's paperwork.
A practical order of operations
First pass
- ✓Walk the home with family and tag what's being kept or passed on — nothing else moves yet
- ✓Photograph anything you may want appraised before it goes anywhere
- ✓There's no deadline on our side: book each pickup only when a room is truly ready
Room by room
- ✓Sort remaining items into donate and toss — usable furniture is donated when possible either way
- ✓Bag loose household goods; bags are the least expensive thing to haul at $19–$39 each
- ✓Set aside paint, propane tanks, tires, and hazardous items for your city's drop-off program
Each pickup day
- ✓Stage the ready items at the curb or driveway — no one needs to be at the house
- ✓Book by 2 PM for same-day, or schedule the date in advance around family visits
- ✓A photo confirmation text documents each pickup for the estate's records
