How Hoarding Cleanup Works in South St. Paul, MN

Papers, photos, medicine, jewelry and keepsakes are gathered and kept safe. The resident can name anything that must not be moved.

3. Sort and remove

Belongings are sorted with the resident. Valuables and papers are set aside, and released items are bagged and hauled away.

Floors, counters, sinks and bathrooms are cleaned and disinfected. Odor is treated at the source where possible.

Hoarder House Cleaning: Your Questions, Answered for South St. Paul, MN

Can a landlord require hoarding cleanup?

Often a lease or local housing or fire rules allow a landlord to set a deadline for safety. A tenant rights group, a code office or an attorney can explain what applies. A cleanup team can often work toward a deadline.

How do you talk to someone about a hoarding cleanup?

Speak calmly, start with safety and ask what they want to keep. Avoid blame and surprises, and agree on a small first step. Many people feel more at ease once they know who will be in the home and what will happen.

At what age does hoarding usually start?

There is no single age. Hoarding behaviors can begin early in life and often become more noticeable over time, so many families only seek help later. A doctor can speak to an individual situation.

What happens to the items that are removed?

Usable items go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, damaged or unsafe items are disposed of correctly, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.

Are pests and mold part of hoarding cleanup?

Yes, cleanup covers the mess pests and mold leave behind, such as droppings, spoiled food and damaged materials. Pest control and mold remediation are separate trades, and you can ask the team when they are needed.

How do you keep a home from filling up again after cleanup?

Small habits, such as one clear surface a week, help. Ongoing support from a doctor, counselor or local group can make progress last. The team can talk through simple upkeep ideas at the end of the job.
