5 Commonly Overlooked Items to Remove During a Home Cleanout

Ed Wilkins • Aug 07, 2023

When it comes to home cleanouts, many people are overwhelmed by the task of sorting through and removing all their belongings. It is easy to overlook items that you may not think are necessary or important at first glance. However, some everyday items often get forgotten when doing a home cleanout.

Which Household Items Are Overlooked During a Cleanout?


Holiday Decorations - Items like Christmas lights or Halloween decorations are only taken down from the attic for the holidays, so they are often" out of sight, out of mind." It can be easy to forget to clean the attic when doing a home cleanout. Be sure to go through your attic when downsizing and contact A-1 Hauling to haul away any unwanted boxes of decorations or other items to a donation center or to dispose of them. 


Tools/Home Maintenance Items - Many homeowners pack their basements with extra tools or other household items they don't use very often. When cleaning out your home, you should check the basement for tools and other home maintenance items you no longer need and have them packed up and hauled to a donation center or garbage dump. 


Old Furniture  - If your old furniture is still in good condition, consider donating it for reuse or recycling. Otherwise, if it is time for an upgrade, A-1 Hauling can pick up these bulky pieces and take them away responsibly. 


Electronics - Outdated electronics such as computers, microwaves, televisions, and phones should not be thrown away with regular trash collection but rather disposed of appropriately. Many hauling services will accept these items to ensure they are recycled according to legal standards. 


Appliances - Large appliances such as ovens, dishwashers, refrigerators, and washing machines can be heavy and difficult to move on your own. Our professional haulers can safely transport these items for proper disposal or donation.
