The Range of Hoarding Calls Our Fort Collins Crews Handle
The hoarding work our Fort Collins crews take on splits across a few recurring patterns. Long-time homeowners in Old Town and the surrounding historic Eastside and Westside neighborhoods where accumulation has built up across decades. Adult children of older homeowners in Indian Hills and South Fort Collins dealing with what they find when they go through a parent's house. Property managers in the CSU rental corridor along West Elizabeth and South Shields flagging units where conditions have built up over multiple tenancies. The work is approached with respect for the person whose home or unit it has been.
The deadlines on these calls tend to be specific. A City of Fort Collins code compliance notice. A CSU-area lease ending and a unit needing to be ready for the next student tenant. A property sale closing. An estate working through probate. A family member preparing for a transition to assisted care. Acting earlier in that timeline keeps more options open for how the work unfolds.
Our Step-by-Step Hoarding Cleanup Process
Home Assessment
A technician visits the property, gauges the scope of the situation, and talks through goals with the family or owner.
Sort and Save
Items the homeowner wants to keep are identified and set aside before any removal begins, including documents, photos, and valuables.
Material Hauling
Trash, debris, and unwanted contents are loaded out of the home and disposed of through approved local waste channels.
Surface Cleaning
Floors, walls, counters, and fixtures get washed, scrubbed, and treated to remove residue left behind by long-term accumulation.
Pest and Odor Treatment
If infestations or strong odors are present, the home is treated with appropriate pesticides and air-scrubbing equipment.
Final Walkthrough
The property is walked through with the homeowner or landlord, and a written summary closes out the job.
How a Hoarded Fort Collins Property Gets Cleared
The walk-through is the first step on every job. Before anything heavier moves, the homeowner, family member, or property representative goes through the space with our lead and identifies what stays. Documents, photographs, jewelry, items that carry monetary or sentimental weight come out first, sorted into labeled bins, and stored either off-site or in a clean staging area we set up at the property. The family approves the keep pile before general removal starts.
After that, the work shifts to what is under the visible accumulation. P100 respirators, cut-resistant gloves, and reinforced footwear protect against sharps, dried biological material, animal waste, and pest activity that turn up under deep accumulation. HEPA filtration runs continuously through the active removal phase to manage dust, which in northern Colorado's dry climate tends to be heavier in long-closed spaces than property owners often expect. After the bulk is out, EPA-registered disinfectants and enzymatic cleaners treat the surfaces underneath. Active pest infestations are turned over to a licensed Colorado pest contractor before remediation continues.

Still Have Questions?
Is hoarding cleanup the same as junk removal?
No. Hoarding cleanup includes sorting, decontamination, pest treatment, and biohazard handling, none of which are part of standard junk hauling. The work is closer to a full remediation than a cleanout.
Will the homeowner be involved during the cleanup?
That's up to them. Some homeowners prefer to be present and make decisions as the team works, while others step away entirely. A family member or representative can also be the point of contact.
What if there are pets, animals, or signs of infestation?
Our crews are equipped to handle homes with active or past infestations, including rodent and insect issues. Animals still on-site are coordinated with a local shelter or rescue if no other plan is in place.
Will neighbors or anyone else know what's going on?
Discretion is part of the work. Trucks arrive without biohazard branding, crews wear plain uniforms, and removal happens as quietly as possible to keep the situation private.
