Contents cleaning and junk removal

What happens to the contents of a home during extreme cleaning? We don't just haul everything away. Local Trauma Clean sorts contents, keeps and returns what matters, recycles appliances and e-waste, and disposes of the rest, then prepares the space for sale if needed. We have done this compassionately for over 25 years. Call 778-828-6094.

Local Trauma Clean has over 25 years of experience helping people and businesses in the Greater Vancouver area with all manner of cleaning, from content cleaning and sorting, to estate cleaning, appliance removal, and even extreme cleaning. When you become overwhelmed, our team takes over and provides:

  • De-cluttering
  • Contents sorting and organization
  • Inventory
  • Recycling of appliances, electronic waste, and vehicles
  • Storage container delivery
  • Estate cleaning and preparation for sale
  • Extreme cleaning and odour neutralization

In cases of extreme cleaning, there may be specific dangers and health hazards. In many cases it involves bio-hazard material cleanup and the removal not only of clutter, but also trash, animal urine or feces, mould, rodents, and much more. We have in-depth knowledge of cleaning, disinfecting, and removing hazardous materials, so your home is left clean and safe. We'll always prioritize your safety in order to provide a thorough cleanup experience that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.

Packing up someone else's life

Contents Cleaning Team

You never know what to expect when you step through the doors of someone's home, from minimalists to hoarders and everything in between. We help pack up people's lives and sort through belongings they've spent a lifetime acquiring. Some items purchased on a whim, others deeply emotional inheritances full of memories. Each one a unique piece of the person leaving it behind. It's like a puzzle, and each item is a piece belonging to the bigger picture of a life well lived.

Ideally, we prefer it when family and close friends have had a chance to go through belongings to claim any items of sentimental value. But we sometimes encounter scenarios where someone has lived in one place all of their adult life and now has to leave because of the onset of dementia, failing health, or the death of a spouse. They are reluctant to part with anything because they have already lost so much. These parents and grandparents have lived through times of scarcity and often can't bring themselves to throw anything out. It has to be kept, just in case. These situations are extremely difficult for everyone involved, and we always strive to provide compassionate support as we work our way through a lifetime of belongings to ensure everything finds its rightful place.

For estates and larger cleanouts, we work hand in hand with our sister company Local Junk Removal, so the sorting, the cleaning, and the hauling happen as one coordinated job.

Contents and estate cleaning questions, answered

How does contents sorting work?

We meticulously develop a plan to declutter the space so there are no unnecessary surprises. Crews sort as they go, keeping what matters, setting aside valuables and documents, recycling what can be recycled, and removing only what should go. Ideally the family has a chance to claim sentimental items first.

What happens to valuables and documents?

They are set aside and returned to you, not discarded. We understand that belongings acquired over a lifetime carry deep meaning, and we work through them with compassion so everything finds its rightful place.

Do you recycle appliances and e-waste?

Yes. Our contents service includes recycling of appliances, electronic waste, and vehicles, along with inventory, storage container delivery, and estate cleaning and preparation for sale. As part of the Local Group we run our own junk removal division, so nothing waits on a third party.

Can you prepare an estate for sale?

Yes. We handle estate cleaning and preparation for sale, from decluttering and contents sorting through to extreme cleaning and odour neutralization, so the property is ready to list.

Overwhelmed by a lifetime of belongings? We'll take it on.
