Every condition. Handled safely.

Hoarding situations often involve hazards that require trained, certified crews. Here's what we're prepared to handle.

01

Rodent Infestations

Droppings, nesting, contaminated surfaces. We identify and safely clear affected areas with proper PPE and disposal protocols.

02

Insect Infestations

Cockroaches, bed bugs, and other pests that thrive in accumulation. We clear the space so pest control can treat effectively.

03

Biowaste & Human Waste

Handled with full biohazard protocols. Our crew is certified for safe remediation and disposal through licensed facilities.

04

Rotting Food & Organic Waste

Decomposing food, mold growth, and organic matter cleared safely. We prep the space for professional cleaning.

05

Blocked Pathways & Fire Hazards

Obstructed doorways, hallways, and exits restored to safe, accessible conditions.

06

Hazmat Conditions

Chemical spills, contaminated materials, and hazardous substances identified and handled per WorkSafeBC protocols.

We lead with empathy, not judgment.

Hoarding situations are deeply personal. The accumulation often spans years or decades, and the decision to clear a home is rarely easy. We understand that. Our crew is trained not just for the physical work, but for the emotional sensitivity these situations require.

We don't rush. We don't judge. We work alongside your family at whatever pace feels right, making sure nothing important is lost in the process.

How we handle every home.

A careful, methodical approach from first visit to final sweep. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is lost.

1

Private Assessment

We visit the home for a private, no-pressure walkthrough. We assess the scope, identify any hazards, and give you a clear quote. No obligations.

2

Safety Check

Before any work begins, we identify biohazard risks, structural concerns, and plan the safest path through each room.

3

Layer-by-Layer Clearing

We work through each room one layer at a time. Every item is assessed — keep, donate, or remove. Nothing leaves without your approval.

4

Sort & Salvage

Valuables, sentimental items, and important documents are carefully set aside. We understand that not everything is junk.

5

Clean Prep

Space cleared and prepped for professional cleaning, pest treatment, or renovation. Ready for the next chapter.

Doing it yourself vs. hiring 220-JUNK.

Doing It Yourself

The overwhelming way
Emotional toll on family members Sorting through decades of accumulation is emotionally exhausting. Family dynamics make it even harder.
Health risks without proper equipment Mold, pests, biohazards — hidden dangers that require proper PPE and training to handle safely.
Weeks or months of work What seems like a weekend project often takes much longer, with frequent starts and stops.
No system for sorting Without a methodical approach, important items get lost or accidentally discarded.
Strain on family relationships The process can create conflict and resentment between family members.

Hiring 220-JUNK

The compassionate way
Trained, empathetic crew Our team understands the sensitivity. We've done this hundreds of times and we lead with compassion, not judgment.
Full PPE and biohazard certification Proper equipment and protocols for every condition we encounter. Your family's safety is guaranteed.
3-8 hours typical completion What might take your family weeks, we complete in a single day with a trained crew.
Methodical sort-and-salvage system Every item is assessed. Valuables and sentimental items are carefully separated and preserved.
Takes the burden off your family You focus on supporting your loved one. We handle the physical work.

My mother had been living in increasingly difficult conditions for years. The 220-JUNK crew was incredibly respectful — they never once made us feel embarrassed. They worked through the entire house in a single day, saved everything that mattered to mom, and left the space ready for a fresh start. I can't thank them enough.
