Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. A cleanout team does not diagnose anyone and treats every home and every person with respect.

Usable goods go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, broken or unsafe items go to disposal, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.

When the resident is living in the home, yes, and hoarding cleanups hold up best with their agreement. Clearing without it can cause distress and the home often fills again. After a move or a death, the owner or estate decides.
Tell the team about any closing, inspection or move-out date so the plan can fit it.
