This job runs on a different clock
Estate cleanouts aren't like other cleanouts. You're sorting rather than throwing — deciding what family keeps, what's worth selling, what gets donated, and what's genuinely trash. That takes time, and it takes emotional energy that has nothing to do with cubic yards. We've done enough of these to know that a container sitting in the driveway for a week while a family works through a house is normal, not a delay.
Which size, and why you might want two pulls
For a full house, the 20 yard is the usual starting point — $375 for 3 days or $425 for 7, with 2 tons included. But a lot of estate jobs work better as two separate containers a week or two apart: one for the obvious trash, then a second once the family has been through everything and made decisions. That sequencing costs a little more than one pull and saves a great deal of regret.
Donation and resale first
Before it goes in the container, it's worth a pass for what can be donated or sold. Furniture in good condition, working appliances, tools, and household goods all have somewhere better to go than a landfill, and the estate may benefit. We're not going to pretend a dumpster is the right destination for everything in a house someone lived in for forty years.
The weight usually isn't the problem
Household contents are bulky and light. You'll almost certainly fill the container before you reach the 2-ton allowance. Where estates do run heavy is old console televisions, safes, pianos, upright freezers, workshop equipment and accumulated building material in a garage or basement. If those are in the mix, mention them.
What we can't take
Paint and old solvents — very common in an estate garage. Oils, chemicals, pesticides, batteries, tires, and appliances that still contain refrigerant. Medical sharps. These need separate handling and it's better to identify them early than at pickup. Text us a photo if you're unsure.
When you'd rather not do the loading
Plenty of families settling an estate don't want to carry forty years of belongings out of a basement, and there's no reason they should have to. That's what ClearPath Junk Removal is for — same family, same trucks, we do the loading and you make the decisions. Call and describe the situation and we'll tell you honestly which of the two makes more sense for you, including when it's the cheaper one.

How it works
- Call, text or book online. Tell us what the project is and roughly what's going in. We'll recommend a size rather than upsell one, and quote you a flat price on the spot.
- We deliver to your address. Often same or next day. We set boards under the rails on driveway placements and put the container where you're actually working, not just at the top of the drive.
- Fill it on your schedule. Three days or seven, whichever you booked. Load heavy flat items first and fill the gaps — most people who need a second container filled the first one with air.
- Tell us you're done. Call or text and we'll pick it up. If you're near the weight allowance, say so and we'll talk through the cheapest way to handle it before we haul.
Frequently asked questions
What size dumpster do I need for an estate cleanout?
For a full house, start with the 20 yard. Many estates work better as two containers spaced a week or two apart — one for obvious trash, one after the family has sorted. We'll help you plan the sequence.
How long can I keep the dumpster?
Three days or seven, at $375 or $425 for the 20 yard. If you need longer while the family works through the house, call us before the rental ends and we'll work it out. We're not going to rush you through this.
Can you take furniture, mattresses and appliances?
Furniture and mattresses, yes. Appliances yes, except anything still containing refrigerant — refrigerators, freezers and window air conditioners need recovery first. Call us and we'll explain the options.
What about the paint and chemicals in the garage?
Those can't go in the container. Nearly every estate garage has some, so it's worth identifying them at the start. We'll point you to the right disposal route.
Can you just haul it all away instead?
Yes — that's ClearPath Junk Removal, the same family business. We bring a crew, load everything, and you point at what stays. Renting the container costs less; having us load it is far easier. Call 816-750-DUMP and we'll tell you which fits your situation.
