Whole House Cleanout on Jekyll Island, GA

Everything that comes out of the house rides off the island in our truck. Nothing gets stacked behind a building or set at the road for somebody else to deal with, and in our experience the regular bulk service out here doesn’t handle every type of material anyway, construction debris included. So we sort as we load: by the time a truck heads back over the bridge, we already know where each pile is going once it reaches the mainland.

On the main residential side, homes are spread out and most driveways take the truck without trouble. A house off Captain Wylly Road is often a short, steady carry from the front door to the truck bed, and that shortens a long day more than anything else we can control.

An older house along Riverview Drive asks for a slower pace. Older structures mean more care with floors, trim and stair rails on every trip out, and we plan for that from the photos instead of discovering it in the hallway.

If the house is a managed rental being emptied between owners or ahead of a renovation, we work to the manager’s timeline and say what we know as soon as we know it: the number of loads, the day, and anything we find that changes the plan.

Room by room, from the back of the house toward the door: furniture and beds, closets and kitchen cabinets, the appliances, then the attic, the garage and the yard. Nothing has to be dragged to the curb first, and the equipment fits the property, whether that’s a truck, a dump trailer or several loads.

Anything that looks personal, important or valuable is set aside and brought to you, not decided by the crew. If some pieces are staying, tell us which room they’re in and they stay put. The last step is a sweep-out, so the house is ready for whoever comes next.

The one thing we ask is that whoever books has the right to clear what’s inside, and if that question comes up, we’ll settle it with you at the estimate.

Send us a few photos and tell us what you need removed. We’ll take it from there.

We figure out the right destination based on what’s actually on the truck. Refrigerators and other refrigerant appliances go through the appropriate recycling channel, often SA Recycling in Brunswick, where the refrigerant is recovered, and scrap metal usually ends up there as well.

Furniture and household goods in good shape may be offered to organizations we work with, such as Habitat ReStore or the Boys & Girls Club. They decide what they can use, and condition matters.

What has truly reached the end goes to proper disposal on the mainland. None of it stays on the island.
