Garages, casitas, sheds and backyards in Albuquerque collect a lot over the decades: tools, building scraps, old furniture and the occasional broken-down vehicle. After an estate sale, a surprising amount is usually left.
An estate cleanout company hauls it away in a day or two, sends usable items to local charities, recycles metal, and leaves the property ready for a realtor or new owner.
Cleanout crews remove furniture, household goods, appliances, yard waste and the contents of garages, casitas and sheds. Most sort donations and recyclables, and many will work from a lockbox for an executor or realtor who isn’t local. Some also handle light cleaning and yard cleanup before a listing.
Every cleanout company on this page was chosen for its track record. We compared local companies on the volume and quality of their public reviews, confirmed they list estate cleanouts as a service, and checked for an active local website and phone number.
