Foreclosure Cleanout in Metro Detroit: what to expect
A foreclosure cleanout, often called a trash-out, clears everything left behind in a vacant, bank-owned or investor-purchased home, then cleans it so it can be inspected, repaired or listed. Metro Detroit has many older vacant homes, and jobs often include spoiled food, overgrown yards, broken glass and signs of pests or water damage.
Before removing anything, make sure you own the property or have written authority from the owner, and that any occupants have legally left. Property left by a former occupant can carry legal obligations, so talk to a real estate attorney if you are unsure. Many investors pair a trash-out with a deep clean and photo documentation before rehab work starts.
What a proper job includes
- A walkthrough with photos before any removal
- Removal of personal property, debris and spoiled food
- Handling of paint, chemicals, tires and appliances by type
- Basement, garage and yard debris as scoped
- Broom clean or full cleaning of the interior
- Lock, window and opening checks reported to the owner
- After photos and a completion report for lenders or investors

Insurance, disposal and safety rules
Ask for a current certificate of general liability insurance before anyone starts, and ask whether the crew are employees covered by workers' compensation or subcontractors. For in-home work, ask whether the company is bonded and how it screens staff. Check verification status as described in How We Vet.
Haulers must keep restricted items out of the landfill. Michigan EGLE lists used oil, lead-acid batteries, scrap tires, liquids and yard clippings among materials that need separate handling, and household hazardous waste such as paint, chemicals, batteries and electronics belongs at a collection site. Refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and window AC units need their refrigerant recovered before final disposal under EPA Section 608 rules. Ask where each type of item goes.
