Auburn Property Cleanout: Before, During and After
This page documents a real Toss It cleanout in Auburn, AL: a heavily cluttered detached shed with a bug infestation, emptied completely so it could be professionally treated and used again for equipment storage, plus unwanted furniture and a mattress removed from the adjoining sunroom.
The customer's situation
A long-term homeowner contacted Toss It because a detached shed had become heavily cluttered and developed a bug infestation. He needed the shed completely cleaned out so it could be professionally treated and used again for storing and parking equipment. He also needed several unwanted items removed from the adjoining sunroom.
Property areas involved

- Sunroom or enclosed porch
What we removed
The shed contained a heavy accumulation of cardboard boxes, household debris, loose trash, and miscellaneous items consistent with a hoarder-level cleanout. We also removed furniture and a mattress from the sunroom.
Before and after

Access and loading challenges
Access was excellent. Our truck and trailer could pull directly up to the shed, which allowed the crew to load everything efficiently without stairs, long carries, or tight access.
Crew, equipment, and timeline
- Crew size: 2
- Equipment: 15-foot box truck and hand tools
- Number of loads: 1
- Project timeline: approximately 2.5 hours
Donation, recycling, and disposal outcome
A significant portion of the usable material was separated for donation and recycling. The remaining unusable debris was disposed of properly. The shed was left completely empty and ready for pest treatment and future equipment storage.
Lessons homeowners can use
- Book the cleanout before the listing photo date, not after
- Retrieve keepsakes before the crew arrives
- Confirm any Realtor or attorney deadlines up front
- Photograph the property in its current state for records
