What Is a Property Cleanout?
A property cleanout means clearing out everything you no longer want in a home, apartment, or business. That includes furniture, trash, boxes, and anything else left behind. It’s not just junk pickup, it’s a full sweep of the space, top to bottom, inside and out.
At Zero Junk, we handle cleanouts for all kinds of situations. You might be dealing with a foreclosure, getting a place ready to sell, turning over a rental, or just clearing years of stuff. No matter the reason, we show up ready to do the job from start to finish.
Types of Property Cleanouts We Handle
Every cleanout is different. Some homes are packed with decades of stuff. Others need to be cleared fast after a move or sale. At Zero Junk, we handle all types of cleanouts for homes, offices, and commercial properties across San Jose and nearby cities.
Residential Cleanouts
These are for homeowners, renters, landlords, or agents needing a space cleared:
- Estate Cleanouts – We remove belongings after a loss with respect and care.
- Hoarder House Cleanouts – No judgment. We clear out tough spaces, one step at a time.
- Move-Out / Move-In Cleanouts – We get homes ready for what’s next.
- Garage, Attic, and Basement Clear-Outs – We haul out years of stuff from hard-to-reach places.
Commercial Cleanouts
These are for offices, retail spaces, and larger jobs:
- Office Cleanouts – We take down cubicles, remove desks, and haul old equipment.
- Retail and Warehouse Cleanouts – We clear fixtures, shelves, and unsold stock.
- Foreclosure and Eviction Cleanouts – We move fast to clear entire homes and units.
- Post-Renovation Cleanups – We remove debris and leftover materials from job sites.
In a city where over 55% of homes are owner-occupied, many cleanouts are handled directly by homeowners or family members. Our job is to make that process easier whether it’s an estate cleanout, downsizing project, or a sudden move-out.

Loaded in 15 Minutes Flat, A Real Cleanout Story
David was moving out of his San Jose apartment and had a tight budget and a lot of junk.
“I was budget conscious but also had a lot of junk that needed to go,” he wrote when he reached out on Yelp.
Five minutes later, he had a quote from Alex, clear, upfront, no surprises. He booked for the next morning.
We texted when we were on the way, showed up on time, and got right to work.
“His team got to work quickly and had everything loaded up in 15 minutes flat.”
Courteous, professional, and efficient, that’s how we do every job, big or small.
“Cannot recommend more!” David said. And that’s exactly the kind of experience we aim to deliver every time.
Why San Jose Calls Zero Junk for Property Cleanouts
People don’t just hire us to haul junk. They call us because we show up, get the job done right, and treat every property with care. Here’s why homeowners, landlords, and business owners across San Jose trust Zero Junk:
We’re Local
We’re based here in San Jose, not part of a chain. Two cousins left the tech world to start a small, hands-on business. We still run it that way.
We’re Licensed and Insured
You don’t have to worry. Our crew is trained, insured, and knows how to move heavy, awkward items safely even in tight spaces or older buildings.
We Don’t Dump Everything
The average cleanout generates between 2,000–3,000 pounds of junk, but much of that doesn’t need to go to the landfill. According to the EPA, Americans throw away over 12 million tons of furniture and furnishings each year. We do our part by recycling or donating what we can, keeping usable items out of the dump.
Our Prices Are Clear
You get a free quote before we begin. No surprises. No junk fees. Just straight answers and fair pricing.
We Give Back Locally
Every job you book helps fund child education here in the Bay Area. We donate 3% of our revenue to local schools and learning programs.
We Offer Discounts
Military families get 11% off, and anyone who books online saves $20.
It’s simple: we show up, do the work, and leave things better than we found them. That’s what people count on and why they keep calling us back.
Simple, Honest Junk Removal Pricing in San Jose
At Zero Junk, we believe pricing should be clear and fair, no hidden fees, no surprises. Whether you’re cleaning out a garage, office, or an entire home, our rates are based on how much junk you have and what needs to be removed.
We also support San Jose’s zero waste policy, so we recycle, donate, and reuse as much as possible, landfill is our last resort.
A clutter-free home isn’t just easier to clean, it helps it sell faster. Real estate experts say homes that are cleared of junk and staged properly sell up to three times faster and can bring in 5–10% more in sale price. That makes a cleanout not just practical but a smart move before you list.
Base Fee
This covers the basics:
✓ Our crew
✓ Travel to your location
✓ Standard disposal setup
It’s a flat fee just to get started, no guesswork.
Pricing by Volume
We charge based on how much space your items take up in our truck.
The more junk, the more it costs, but we’ll always show you the quote upfront before we begin.
Some items need special handling or disposal methods, including:
- Televisions and electronics
- Refrigerators or large appliances
- Commercial office gear
These may carry a small added fee.
Heavy Load Fee
Got dense or bulky material?
Items like bricks, concrete, drywall, or large furniture may cost a bit more due to weight and labor.
Extra Time or Labor
Tight spaces, stairs, or extra-long jobs (like hoarder homes or full property cleanouts) may require a labor fee.
Don’t worry, we’ll tell you before we begin.
No Surprises – Ever
We’ll walk you through your quote on-site or virtually. What we quote is what you pay. Clear. Simple. Honest.
