A whole-house cleanout in Kitchener usually costs $550 to $900 or more, because a full house is more than one truck load. We walk it first, give you a firm number, then clear every room, the basement, garage and shed, and leave the house broom-swept for the sale or handover. It is the largest job in our junk removal in Kitchener service.
Sometimes a whole house has to be emptied at once: a sale, a downsizing, a move, an estate, a property changing hands. We sort donation and recycling from disposal as we go, so less of the house is billed at landfill weight.

The whole property in one coordinated job
A whole-house clear is not one big room, it is a dozen spaces that each fill a truck differently, and the trick is doing it in an order that keeps the crew moving. We clear the living space, work down to the basement and out to the garage and shed, and coordinate the loads so it is one job, not ten separate pickups.
If there are things staying, a few pieces of furniture, boxes for the family, we set those aside first and clear around them.
What's the cost for whole-home cleanouts?
The honest answer is "how many truck loads is it", because that is how it is priced. These are rough guides built from our published truck rates, not quotes; we confirm the real number on the walk-through.
| Home | Typical volume | Rough all-in range |
|---|---|---|
| Condo or small, lightly furnished bungalow | About one full truck | $550 to $750 |
| Furnished two- or three-bedroom house | One and a half to two trucks | $870 to $1,500 |
| Full family home with basement, garage and shed | Two trucks or more | $1,100 and up |
Three things push a house to the top of its range: a full basement (it is usually the densest room), heavy debris such as old tile, soil or concrete that the Region bills by weight, and anything that holds refrigerant. Three things pull it down: items the family is keeping set aside before we arrive, furniture good enough to donate, and a clear path from the door to the driveway.
Estate house cleanouts and household cleanouts
An estate house cleanout is a whole-house clear after a death or a move into care. The work is the same, but the pace is not: there are papers, photos and valuables to find before anything leaves, and often family members in different cities agreeing on what stays. Our estate cleanout page covers how we handle that.
A household cleanout is usually smaller: one floor, a basement and garage, or the accumulated overflow before a renovation. If it is less than the whole house, it is priced by the share of the truck it fills, and our garage and basement cleanout page has those ranges.
Timed to your sale or handover
Most whole-house clears run against a closing date or a possession date. Give us the deadline and we schedule the clear so the house is empty and swept when the lawyers, the buyers or the new tenants need it. Downsizing at a gentler pace works too; we fit the timeline to you.
Getting rid of it in Kitchener and Waterloo Region
A full house is several truck loads, and at the Region of Waterloo drop-off sites at 925 Erb Street West in Waterloo and 201 Savage Drive in Cambridge that means repeated tipping charges where every load carries a $15 minimum and mixed, unsorted loads are billed at the highest rate. Because we donate and recycle first, less of the house is billed at landfill weight. One local crew handles the whole property against your closing date instead of you booking pickup after pickup.
What whole-house cleanout costs in Kitchener
A whole-house cleanout usually runs from about $550 for a small, lightly furnished home up past $900 for a full one, because it is several truck loads. It is priced by total volume across the job, we walk it first, and the number is firm before we start.
| Truck space | What it holds | Typical all-in price |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum / single item | A couch, a fridge, a mattress | $90 to $150 |
| 1/4 truck | A small room or a few big items | $200 to $300 |
| 1/2 truck | A garage or a bedroom set | $320 to $450 |
| 3/4 truck | A basement or a small cleanout | $450 to $600 |
| Full truck | A whole-home or estate cleanout | $550 to $750 |

Frequently asked questions
How much does a whole-house cleanout cost in Kitchener?
Usually $550 to $900 or more, because a full house is several loads. It is priced by total volume; we walk it first and give a firm number before starting.
Can you clear the basement, attic, garage and shed too?
Yes, the whole property in one coordinated job, not just the main rooms.
Can you work to a closing or possession date?
Yes. Give us the deadline and we schedule the clear so the house is empty and broom-swept in time.
Can you set aside things the family is keeping?
Yes. We set aside anything flagged first and clear around it, or work to a written list if you cannot be there.
Is this the same as an estate cleanout?
It overlaps. If it follows a death, see estate cleanouts, which we handle with extra care for documents and valuables.
What does an estate house cleanout cost in Kitchener?
The same volume pricing as any whole-house clear, usually $550 to $900 or more, sometimes higher for a full family home with a packed basement. Sorting papers and valuables takes more time, not a different rate.
Do you donate and recycle, or just landfill it?
Donate and recycle first, landfill last. It is better for the environment and it lowers the billed weight and your price.
