Estate Cleanouts
Sorting out a family home or helping a parent downsize usually turns up decades of statements, tax returns and old bills. We come to the house, carry it out, shred it in the driveway while you watch, and hand you a certificate for the file.
Best for
Families settling an estate, executors and attorneys, adult children helping a parent downsize, and realtors preparing a home for sale.
Pricing
One-time rates: $10 a box, $8 after seven, plus the flat travel charge. Most estate cleanouts are 10 to 40 boxes.

Common questions
What should the family keep?
Wills, deeds, titles, current insurance, and anything the executor needs. Our What to Shred guide has a checklist.
Can you come when the house is empty?
If a family member or the realtor can meet us, yes. Someone should witness.
Do you handle old photos or personal letters?
We shred whatever you hand us and nothing you do not. Set aside what you want to keep first.
