Discreet and respectful
No judgment, no lectures, no photos of your home posted anywhere. We treat the house and the family with respect from the first call.
A New Jersey family business since 1997
Family owned and operated out of Maplewood, working in these same towns for nearly three decades.
Built for large jobs
Multiple truckloads and multi-day projects are normal for us — we don't walk away from a house that's full floor to ceiling.
Broom-clean finish
Sorting, lifting, loading, hauling and disposal, then a final sweep of everything we cleared.
What makes this different
A hoarding cleanout is not a normal junk pickup
It's a sensitive job that takes patience, a full crew and a plan — not a truck that shows up and starts throwing things out.
Most homes we clear didn't get that way overnight. Sometimes it follows a loss, an illness, or years of a family quietly not knowing how to bring it up. When you call Greg’s Hauling Junk, you get a crew that has done this many times before and knows how to handle it without making anyone feel embarrassed.
We handle severe clutter removal and whole-house hoarding cleanouts across Essex County and North Jersey — narrow paths between stacked boxes, rooms that haven’t been opened in years, basements and attics packed to the ceiling, garages that no longer fit a car, and yards with years of accumulated material. We bring enough people and enough truck capacity to actually finish.
Personal papers, photographs and anything that looks valuable are set aside for the family instead of being tossed. Usable furniture and household goods are routed to donation or recycling whenever they qualify. What’s left is hauled and disposed of properly.

Questions
Hoarding cleanout questions
How much does a hoarding cleanout cost in New Jersey?
There is no flat rate for a hoarding cleanout, and any company quoting one sight unseen is guessing. Price depends on the volume of material, the labor and hours involved, access to the property (stairs, narrow hallways, street parking), how many truckloads it takes, and disposal requirements for specific items. We walk the property, give you one upfront number before anything is touched, and stick to it.
Is the cleanout discreet?
Yes. We use unmarked scheduling where you need it, work efficiently, keep loading contained, and don't discuss the job with neighbors. Many of our hoarding cleanouts are handled quietly over a day or two without anyone on the street knowing what's happening inside.
Do I have to sort everything before you arrive?
No. Sorting is part of the job. Our crew works room by room and separates what stays, what's donated or recycled, and what's hauled. If a family member or the homeowner wants to review items before they leave, we set up a staging area and check as we go.
Can you handle a whole-house hoarding cleanout?
Yes. Whole-house cleanouts are a core part of what we do — basement to attic, garage, sheds and yard included. Larger properties may take multiple truckloads and multiple days, and we schedule the crew and truck rotations so the job runs straight through.
Do you find valuables, documents or photos?
It happens on nearly every job. Anything that looks personal or valuable — paperwork, jewelry, photographs, cash, deeds, military items — gets set aside and handed to the family or property owner rather than thrown out.
Do you work with families, realtors and property managers?
Regularly. We work with adult children handling a parent's home, executors settling an estate, realtors who need a property listable, landlords with a unit to turn over, and property managers dealing with a difficult tenant situation.
How quickly can you start?
Often within a few days, and sometimes sooner. Call 973-943-0018 and we'll tell you honestly what the schedule looks like this week.
Do you clean the property when you're finished?
Yes. Every hoarding cleanout ends with a broom-clean sweep of the areas we cleared, so the space is ready for repairs, painting, listing or moving back in.
