St. Louis Hoarding Cleanup is a referral service for hoarding cleanups and house cleanouts in St. Louis and the towns within 28 miles of it. When you call, you are connected with an independent local cleanout crew for the job you describe. This site does not own trucks or employ crews, and it says so rather than pretending otherwise.
Why this site publishes prices
No hoarding cleanup company in St. Louis puts a number on its website, and the number is the first thing people want. Every price here is a typical range from published national cost guides, labelled as a range: $1 to $2 per square foot for a hoarded house, $150 to $350 a truckload for hauling. Every job still gets a written price before work starts.
Some of the prices on this site are not the crew's at all. The City of St. Louis charges $120 for an occupancy inspection application and $200 when the dwelling is occupied without a current certificate. Those numbers come straight from the city's own pages.
Why it explains the rules
In this region a hoarded house usually becomes urgent because of a rule, not a choice: an occupancy inspection before a sale, a rental inspection, a code enforcement letter or Missouri's notice rules for a unit a tenant has abandoned. Knowing which applies tells you how much time you have.

Call (636) 216-6490Who does the work
We work with licensed, insured local contractors. Missouri does not license junk removal or cleanout work at the state level, so ask any crew for its city business license and proof of insurance before work starts, and ask where the material will be taken.
What it does not do
Biohazard work is outside what this site routes. A home with heavy animal or human waste, sewage, mold or a death in it needs a remediation company, and the call will say so.
How the site makes money
The contractors who receive calls through this site pay for them. That is why the footer says the site shares your information with local providers. It costs you nothing to call, and you are under no obligation to hire anyone.
