Foreclosure Cleanout Services

A foreclosure cleanout empties a property of everything left behind – furniture, appliances, personal effects and trash – and a crew can usually be on site within 24 to 48 hours and clear most single-family homes in a day. The price is $50 per cubic yard of truck space. Any job carries a $150 minimum. Labor, carry-out from every room, and landfill and transfer station fees sit inside that number. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal serves St. Petersburg and the surrounding Pinellas County area.

Professional and Comprehensive Foreclosure Cleanup Services

Send the address, the access method and any timeline the lender or court has set, and the crew works to it. Everything left behind goes unless you flag otherwise. If there is a legal requirement to store a former occupant’s belongings, tell us before the day and those items are set aside rather than hauled. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal covers St. Petersburg and the rest of Pinellas County.

Full-Service Foreclosure Cleanup Process

Our foreclosure cleanout process is thorough and client-focused:

  • Efficient Removal: Once you approve the estimate, our team starts the cleanout process, carefully collecting, sorting, removing, and loading all junk and debris.
  • Final Cleanup: The job is only complete after a final walkthrough to ensure that all debris has been cleared and the property is left pristine.

Foreclosure Cleanouts and Property Trash-Outs in Pinellas County

A foreclosed or REO property usually comes with everything the previous occupant did not take, plus whatever the yard collected while the house sat empty. Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal handles trash-outs, debris removal and full property clearing for banks, asset managers, investors, realtors and preservation companies across Pinellas County – on the timeline the asset manager set, with the photo documentation the file requires.

Working throughout St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo and Pinellas County. Call 727-240-7033.

Scope of a typical trash-out

  • All interior contents – furniture, mattresses, appliances, personal property
  • Trash, bagged waste and spoiled food
  • Garage, shed, attic and crawl space
  • Damaged carpet and flooring
  • Yard debris, overgrowth and dumped items
  • Abandoned vehicles, boats and trailers – see junk car removal
  • Pool and patio debris, broken fencing and screen panels
  • Squatter debris and illegal dumping on the lot

What Asset Managers and Investors Need From a Hauler

Documentation that stands up in a file

Before, during and after photographs of every room and the exterior, time-stamped and delivered the same day. Included at no charge. If your servicer requires a specific photo format, naming or upload portal, tell us and we will follow it.

Speed and reliability

REO timelines are short and penalties for missing them are real. We can usually be on site within 24 to 48 hours and clear most single-family properties in a day. We show up when we say we will, which is the single most common complaint investors have about the last hauler they used.

Insurance and compliance

We are fully insured and can provide a certificate naming the servicer, asset manager or owner. Crews are uniformed and background-checked, which matters on vacant properties in occupied neighborhoods.

Coordination with the rest of the turn

Trash-out is step one. We schedule around locksmiths, board-up crews, lawn services, cleaners, painters and flooring contractors so the property moves through the turn without dead days. If you also need light demolition or interior strip-out, we can do it in the same visit.

Personal property left behind

Rules on retaining and storing personal property vary by situation and by servicer. Tell us your requirement in advance and we will segregate and stage whatever you specify. We follow your direction rather than making that determination ourselves.

Pricing and Property Types

Quoted by volume, access and condition after a walkthrough or from your photos if you are out of state.

  • Light trash-out – a mostly empty property with scattered debris
  • Standard single-family – typically one to two full truckloads
  • Heavy or hoarding-condition property – staged with a roll-off dumpster. See hoarding cleanouts.
  • Multi-unit or portfolio work – priced per property with volume rates

Includes labor, loading, hauling, disposal fees, sweeping and photo documentation. No hourly meter, no per-item add-ons.

What needs a licensed specialist

Biohazard remediation, mold remediation, pest control and asbestos abatement are outside what a hauling company may perform. We will identify the problem, tell you plainly, and clear the contents first – which almost always lowers the specialist’s price.

Where We Provide Foreclosure Cleanout Services: St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa

Foreclosure Cleanout Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a foreclosure trash-out cost?

Trash-outs are priced by volume, access and condition. A standard single-family property is typically one to two full truckloads, while a heavily loaded property is staged with a roll-off dumpster on site. The price includes labor, loading, hauling, disposal fees, sweeping and photo documentation.

How fast can you get to a property?

Usually within 24 to 48 hours, and most single-family properties are cleared in a day. We know REO timelines are short and that missing them has real consequences, so we schedule accordingly.

Do you provide before and after photos?

Yes, at no extra charge. Time-stamped before, during and after photographs of every room and the exterior are delivered the same day. If your servicer requires a specific format, naming convention or upload portal, tell us and we will follow it.

Can you provide a certificate of insurance?

Yes. We are fully insured and can issue a certificate naming the servicer, asset manager or property owner. Our crews are uniformed and background-checked, which matters on vacant properties in occupied neighborhoods.

What do you do with personal property left in the house?

We follow your instructions. Requirements for retaining and storing personal property vary by situation and by servicer, so tell us in advance what must be segregated and we will stage it wherever you direct rather than making that determination ourselves.

Do you handle the yard, garage and outbuildings too?

Yes. Overgrowth, yard debris, dumped items, sheds, garages, attics, pool and patio debris, broken fencing and screen panels are all part of a full property clear.

Can you remove abandoned vehicles or boats from the property?

Yes, subject to the correct paperwork and authorization. We tow away junk cars, trucks, boats and trailers and recycle them responsibly. See our junk car removal service.

Do you handle mold, biohazard or pest problems?

No. Biohazard remediation, mold remediation, pest control and asbestos abatement require licensed specialists. We will identify the issue, tell you plainly and clear the contents first, which almost always lowers what the specialist charges.

Can you handle a portfolio of properties?

Yes. Multi-unit and portfolio work is priced per property with volume rates, with one point of contact, consistent documentation and monthly invoicing.

Is foreclosure cleanout services available in Tampa or only in Pinellas County?

Both. Tampa gets the same crews, trucks and pricing structure as our Pinellas work. We book foreclosure cleanout services in Downtown Tampa, Water Street, Harbour Island, Davis Islands, Bayshore, Beach Park, Old Seminole Heights, Tampa Heights, Town & Country and Brandon. Because Tampa sits in Hillsborough County, disposal runs through Hillsborough facilities, so we quote Tampa jobs with that tipping cost included rather than surprising you later.

Do you cover Clearwater Beach and the condo towers for foreclosure cleanout services?

Yes, and we do it constantly. Clearwater Beach, Sand Key and Island Estates buildings almost always require an elevator reservation, a certificate of insurance naming the association, and a set haul window. We carry current insurance and file the COI before the truck leaves. Mainland Clearwater — Countryside, Northwood, Del Oro Groves, Downtown Cleveland Street — is simpler and usually books faster.

What other Pinellas County cities do you cover?

Effectively all of them. Mid-county we run Largo, Pinellas Park and Seminole. North county is Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar and East Lake. The barrier islands run St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Redington Beach, Redington Shores, North Redington Beach, Indian Shores, Indian Rocks Beach and Clearwater Beach. Smaller municipalities like Gulfport, Kenneth City, South Pasadena, Tierra Verde and the four Belleair towns are covered too.
