Estate Cleanouts Are Hard—
You Don’t Have to Do It Alone

Clearing out a loved one’s home is never just about getting rid of things. It’s about sorting through memories, making tough decisions, and finding a way forward during a difficult time. Whether you’re navigating a loss, preparing a family home for sale, or helping someone transition to assisted living, an estate clean up can be overwhelming—physically, emotionally, and logistically.


At PRP Junk Removal, we understand what this moment feels like. That’s why we offer compassionate estate cleanout services on the Key Peninsula and surrounding parts of Pierce and Kitsap Counties.


From heavy lifting to thoughtful sorting and hauling, we’ll take care of the hard part so you can focus on what matters most.

What Does an Estate Cleanout Service Do?

An estate cleanout is about more than just clearing out a house—it’s about easing a difficult transition.


Whether you're managing a property after a loss, helping a loved one downsize, or preparing a family home for sale, PRP Junk Removal is here to make the process more manageable. Our estate cleanout services are designed to lift the physical and logistical burden so you can focus on what matters most.


Here’s what’s typically included:


  • Removal of House Contents
    We clear out furniture, appliances, personal items, and household clutter from any room—including garages, attics, and basements.


  • Sorting and Organization
    You let us know what stays and what goes, and we'll help separate items into categories for recycling and disposal.


  • Responsible Disposal
    We follow all local guidelines in Pierce and Kitsap Counties to ensure items are recycled or otherwise discarded properly.


  • Flexible, Family-Focused Plans
    No two cleanouts are the same. We work directly with you to develop a respectful plan that fits your timeline and needs.


Our goal is to make this process smoother, safer, and less overwhelming—because you don’t have to do it all on your own.


6 Reasons to Use a Professional Estate Cleanout Service

1. It Saves You Time When You’re Already Spread Thin

Handling an estate cleanout service on your own can quickly become a full-time job. Between sorting belongings, lifting heavy furniture, loading trucks, and navigating disposal sites, the hours add up fast.


For families juggling work, travel, and caregiving responsibilities, finding the time—and energy—can feel impossible.


That’s where we come in. Our crew takes care of the physical work and logistics so you don’t have to put your life on pause.


With PRP Junk Removal, clearing out a home doesn’t have to take weeks. You can move forward faster, with one less thing on your plate.

2. You Don’t Have to Handle the Heavy Lifting (Literally)

Estate cleanouts often mean digging into basements, attics, and garages—places where bulky furniture, old appliances, and years of stored items tend to accumulate.

Our team knows how to handle basement junk removal and heavy lifting safely and efficiently. Whether it's a waterlogged dresser, an overloaded filing cabinet, or a decades-old freezer, we’ve got the muscle and the right equipment to move it without damage or strain.


No need to risk injury, especially if you're dealing with mobility challenges or simply don’t want to haul things up and down stairs. Let us take care of the heavy stuff so you can focus on the decisions that matter.

3. It’s Easier Emotionally When You Don’t Have to Do It Alone

Going through a loved one’s belongings is never just a chore—it’s a deeply emotional process. Every photo, keepsake, or drawer of everyday items can stir up memories, making it hard to know what to keep, donate, or let go of.


You don’t have to shoulder that alone. PRP’s estate cleanout team approaches every job with care, respect, and confidentiality. It’s still a tough task, but with a compassionate, professional crew by your side, it doesn’t have to feel impossible.

4. Responsible Disposal Makes a Difference

Even when it’s time to let go, how you do it still counts. An estate cleanout often involves decades’ worth of furniture, tools, and household goods—and it’s not always clear what to do with it all.


At PRP, we take care of the loading, hauling, and proper disposal, so you don’t have to stress over the logistics. We work with local transfer stations in Pierce and Kitsap Counties to make sure items are processed responsibly, with recyclables handled correctly and unnecessary landfill waste avoided whenever possible.


You make the decisions about what to keep, what to let go, and we’ll take care of the rest.

5. It’s Safer Than Doing It Yourself

Old homes often come with old messes—dusty attics, damp basements, unstable furniture, or even a surprise rodent nest or two. Tackling it yourself can mean exposure to mold, sharp edges, or heavy items that shift at the worst moment.



Our estate cleanout team comes prepared. We bring the gloves, masks, tools, and trucks to handle the job safely from start to finish. At PRP, we don’t just haul—we clean as we go, protect your property, and leave each space in better shape than we found it.

6. We Offer Flexible Ways to Get the Job Done

Every estate situation is different. Some families want hands-on support from start to finish. Others just need the tools to tackle it themselves.


If you're planning a more DIY-style estate clean up, PRP offers a dumpster trailer drop-off service. We’ll leave a trailer on-site for a few days so you can load items at your own pace, then we’ll come pick it up and handle the disposal.

Estate Cleanout Cost: What to Expect

No two estate cleanouts are the same—which is exactly why we don’t give one-size-fits-all prices.


Some jobs are as simple as a garage full of boxes. Others involve whole homes, outbuildings, basements, and generations of stuff. That’s why we offer free on-site estimates for estate cleanout services. We’ll come take a look, talk through your needs, and give you a clear, straightforward quote with no pressure and no surprises.


For smaller cleanouts, you can also text or email us a few photos, and we’ll get back to you with a quote.


💡 One thing to keep in mind: All junk removal jobs include dump fees set by the local transfer station. These are calculated based on weight and the type of material—whether it’s furniture and household goods, yard waste, construction debris, or something else. We’ll walk you through those details so you know what to expect.


Whether you're clearing a little or a lot, we’ll keep it simple, honest, and as stress-free as possible.

A Local Company You Can Trust With the Hard Stuff

When it comes to something as personal as an estate clean up, it helps to have a team that truly understands the community. PRP Junk Removal is a family-owned company based in Longbranch, and we’ve helped neighbors across the Key Peninsula, Gig Harbor, and surrounding areas handle estate cleanouts with care and respect.


Because we live and work right here, we know the quirks of local roads, schedules, transfer stations, and donation centers. That means faster pickups, smarter sorting, and more flexible scheduling than you’ll usually get from a national chain. You won’t be routed through a call center—you’ll talk to someone who knows your area and shows up when they say they will.
