When a parent’s house in Jacksonville, Petersburg, or Springfield has to be emptied, you should not have to do it alone or in a hurry. Our family crew sorts, sets aside what matters, delivers donations, and hauls the rest. Executors, realtors, and out-of-town heirs across Cass, Morgan, and Sangamon County call us for exactly this.
Some families want the house emptied in a day so they can list it. Others need a week to walk through drawers and closets first. We do both, and plenty of estates end up as a mix: a dumpster for the sorting week, then the crew for the furniture and the heavy leftovers.
Full-service estate cleanout. Walk us through once, mark what stays, and the crew handles every room, every staircase, and the sweep-up before we lock the door behind us.
A 15 or 20 yard driveway-friendly dumpster dropped at the house for 1 to 7 days. Sort at your own pace, toss as you go, and text us when it is full.
Prescription bottles, firearms, and old fuel cans turn up in nearly every estate, and we will point you to the right drop-off for each. If the family wants documents shredded rather than landfilled, tell us and we will pull them out. Text a photo to (217) 624-7066 if you are not sure and we will tell you what to do with it.
If you are searching estate cleanout near me from another state, you want a crew you can trust in a house you cannot get to. We are a family business, so the same people who answer your text show up at the door. We go through the house with respect, set aside what you tell us to, and send photos when it is done.
Text a few pictures of each room to (217) 624-7066, or we meet you or your realtor at the house. You get a flat-rate price and a plan, usually the same day.
Tape, sticky notes, or a room set aside. Anything you flag stays put, and if we find photos, documents, or jewelry as we go, they get boxed for you.
Donations go to local thrift stores first. Metal and appliances get recycled. The rest is loaded and hauled, room by room, top floor down.
We sweep, close the door, and text you pictures of every empty room. If the realtor needs a receipt for the file, it is in your inbox too.

Start by texting (217) 624-7066 with the address and a few pictures of the rooms.
L&J’s Junk Removal donates first. Usable furniture, dishes, clothing, and small appliances go to local thrift stores and church closets around Jacksonville and Springfield, and we bring back donation slips when they are offered.

Yes. L&J’s takes on hoarder house cleanouts and hoarding cleanout jobs across Cass, Morgan, and Sangamon County, and we treat them like any other family home.

Text (217) 624-7066 to talk through it.
Rent a dumpster from L&J’s if the family wants a week to go through drawers and closets and toss as you go. Hire the crew if you need the house empty quickly or nobody local can do the lifting. Many estates use both: a 20 yard for the sorting week, then the crew for furniture and appliances. Text (217) 624-7066 and we will tell you which saves more, or book a dumpster.
Most deceased estate cleanouts L&J’s Junk Removal handles take one long day for a typical two or three bedroom house, and two days when the basement and garage are full too. A hoarding cleanout takes longer because of the sorting. We give you the timeline with the estimate so the realtor can plan photos. Call (217) 624-7066 with the size of the house and we will tell you what to expect.
Yes. Before L&J’s loads anything, you tell us what stays, and we look for photos, documents, jewelry, and cash as we work. Anything that turns up goes in a labeled box for the family. If you want a room or a closet left completely untouched, tape a note on the door and it will be. Start with a free estimate or text (217) 624-7066.
L&J’s Junk Removal works around listing dates for realtors in Jacksonville, Springfield, and Beardstown every week. Send us the date the photographer is coming and we schedule the cleanout ahead of it, leave the rooms broom-clean, and text pictures when we lock up. Agents can send photos of the house directly to (217) 624-7066 for a price without an extra visit.
Text a few photos of the rooms and you will have a flat-rate price and a plan, usually the same day. Want time to sort first? Book a driveway-friendly dumpster for the week and call the crew in for the heavy pieces after.
