How does Clear The Clutter handle estate cleanouts?
Estate cleanouts are one of our most-requested services and a specialty of owner Kevin. When a family contacts us about an estate cleanout, Kevin personally visits the property to walk through every room, closet, garage, attic, and basement. He works with the family to identify items that should be kept, donated, or disposed of. Our crew then handles all physical labor over one to three days depending on the size of the home. We carefully sort items — usable furniture, clothing, and household goods go to our donation program through local donation centers and charities including Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity ReStore, metals and electronics are recycled, and the remainder is disposed of responsibly. Kevin has overseen many estate cleanouts in Oshkosh since 2014 and understands the emotional difficulty of the process. We work at the family's pace, communicate clearly throughout, and leave the home clean, empty, and ready for sale, rental, or renovation.
Does Clear The Clutter offer hoarding cleanout services?
Yes, Clear The Clutter provides professional hoarding cleanout services throughout the Fox Valley. We approach every hoarding situation with complete discretion, patience, and zero judgment. Owner Kevin personally handles the initial consultation and works directly with the individual or family to establish a plan that respects their pace and comfort level. Our crew arrives in unmarked vehicles when requested to maintain privacy. We work systematically through the space, sorting items for donation, recycling, and disposal. For extensive hoarding situations that require multiple days, we can schedule sessions across several visits rather than completing everything at once. Kevin has experience working alongside social workers, therapists, and family members who are supporting individuals through the cleanout process. Every item is handled respectfully, and we never rush or pressure anyone during a hoarding cleanout.
What demolition services does Clear The Clutter provide?
Clear The Clutter offers light demolition services including shed removal starts at $250, deck teardown starts at $250, hot tub removal starts at $250, fence removal, playset disassembly and removal, above-ground pool removal, and small outbuilding teardown. Our demolition process includes complete teardown of the structure, loading all debris into our truck, hauling everything away, and cleaning up the site. We separate wood, metal, and other materials for recycling when possible. For sheds and decks, we can also remove the concrete footings or pavers underneath if needed. All demolition pricing is provided upfront before work begins. For larger demolition projects such as garage removal or structural work, we can provide a custom quote or refer you to a specialized demolition contractor in the Oshkosh area.
Can Clear The Clutter remove a hot tub?
Yes, hot tub removal is a popular service. Clear The Clutter handles the complete process: disconnecting the hot tub from electrical service (we recommend having your electrician disconnect wiring beforehand for safety), cutting or disassembling the hot tub shell into manageable pieces, removing the frame and components, loading everything into our truck, and hauling it all away. Most hot tub removals in Oshkosh are completed in two to three hours. Pricing starts at $250 for a standard outdoor hot tub with clear access. Hot tubs located on elevated decks, in screened porches, or in difficult-to-access locations may require additional labor and a slightly higher price, which is always discussed before work begins. Text a photo of your hot tub and its location to (920) 424-9827 for an exact quote.
Does Clear The Clutter handle construction debris removal?
Yes, we remove construction and renovation debris for both homeowners and contractors throughout the Fox Valley. Common construction materials we haul include drywall and sheetrock, lumber and framing wood, old carpet and padding, tile and ceramic, vinyl and laminate flooring, old cabinets and countertops, roofing shingles in limited quantities, concrete and brick in small amounts, insulation, plumbing fixtures, and general renovation waste. For large volumes of heavy materials like concrete, brick, or roofing shingles, a weight surcharge may apply and will be discussed upfront. Construction debris removal is priced based on volume just like our standard junk removal service, with half-truck loads starts at $250 and full truck loads starting at $500. We can also provide ongoing debris removal for active construction sites with recurring pickup schedules.
What yard waste does Clear The Clutter remove?
Clear The Clutter removes all types of yard waste including tree branches and limbs, brush, leaves, grass clippings, sod, dirt, mulch, gravel, old landscaping timbers, railroad ties, fence posts, concrete pavers, landscape rocks, old patio furniture, broken garden tools, empty flower pots and planters, and general outdoor debris. Yard waste removal is particularly popular in spring and fall when Oshkosh homeowners are cleaning up their properties after winter or before the first snowfall. Pricing is based on volume, with small yard waste pickups starting at the $100 minimum and larger loads priced by the quarter-truck, half-truck, or full truck load. For properties with large amounts of brush or tree debris, we can provide a custom quote. All organic yard waste is composted or processed at appropriate facilities rather than being sent to a landfill.
How does commercial junk removal work with Clear The Clutter?
Commercial junk removal follows a similar process to residential service but is tailored to business needs. When a business contacts us, owner Kevin schedules a walkthrough of the space to assess the scope of work and provide a detailed quote. For offices, we remove cubicles, desks, chairs, conference tables, filing cabinets, bookshelves, IT equipment, printers, copiers, and general office supplies. For retail spaces, we clear fixtures, shelving, display cases, signage, and leftover inventory. We can schedule commercial jobs during evenings, weekends, or outside of business hours to minimize disruption to your operations and customers. For ongoing commercial accounts such as property management companies that need regular unit turnover cleanouts, we offer volume pricing and priority scheduling. All commercial jobs are completed with the same donation-first approach — usable office furniture is donated rather than sent to a landfill.
Does Clear The Clutter offer garage cleanout services?
Yes, garage cleanouts are one of our most popular services in Oshkosh. Many homeowners accumulate years of tools, sporting equipment, holiday decorations, old furniture, boxes, and miscellaneous items in their garages until the space becomes unusable. Clear The Clutter handles the entire garage cleanout process: our crew arrives, sorts through everything with you to identify items to keep versus remove, loads the unwanted items into our truck, and sweeps the garage floor clean. A typical two-car garage cleanout in Oshkosh takes two to four hours and is usually priced as a half-truck to full truck load, ranging from $250 to $550 depending on volume. We also handle attic cleanouts, basement cleanouts, and storage unit cleanouts using the same process. Items in good condition are donated through our donation program through local donation centers and charities, and everything else is recycled or disposed of responsibly.
What is Clear The Clutter's donation pickup service?
If you have items in good condition that you would like to donate but cannot transport yourself, Clear The Clutter offers donation pickup services throughout the Fox Valley. We pick up furniture, clothing, kitchenware, books, toys, working electronics, small appliances, household goods, and other items that are in usable condition. Picked-up items are taken directly to our donation program through local donation centers and charities including Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity ReStore, where they are made available to community members at affordable prices. Donation pickups are priced the same as standard junk removal based on volume, starting at the $100 minimum for small loads. For customers with a mix of donatable items and junk, we sort everything during the job — usable items go to the donation store and the rest is recycled or disposed of. You can also drop off items directly at our store during business hours.

What makes Clear The Clutter different from other junk removal companies in Oshkosh?
Several factors distinguish Clear The Clutter from other junk removal companies operating in the Oshkosh and Fox Valley area. First, we are the only junk removal company in Winnebago County to have won the Community Votes Platinum Award three consecutive years (2022, 2023, 2024), a distinction earned through customer votes in the Oshkosh Northwestern reader poll. Second, owner Kevin is personally involved in every job — he answers calls, provides estimates, and frequently works alongside the crew, something that franchise operations and large corporate junk removal companies cannot offer. Third, our donation-first philosophy means a significant portion of items we collect are donated or recycled rather than sent to a landfill. Fourth, we offer an AI-powered instant pricing tool that gives customers a price estimate quickly, a technology no other local junk removal company provides. Fifth, our named crew — Sam, Jesse, Uri, and Peter — builds real relationships with the community rather than sending anonymous rotating workers.
Does Clear The Clutter remove appliances?
Yes, Clear The Clutter removes all types of household and commercial appliances including refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, stoves, ovens, microwaves, range hoods, water heaters, air conditioning window units, dehumidifiers, wine coolers, trash compactors, and garbage disposals. We handle all disconnection except for hardwired electrical connections and gas lines, which should be disconnected by a licensed professional before our arrival. Appliances containing refrigerant — such as refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners — are taken to certified recycling facilities where the refrigerant is safely recovered before the metal is recycled, in compliance with EPA regulations. Standard appliance removal is priced by volume. Appliances containing refrigerant (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers) carry a $25 to $50 refrigerant recovery surcharge per unit. A single appliance pickup falls under our $100 minimum. Multiple appliances are priced based on the total volume they occupy in our truck.
