Doing a “trashout” on a home here in the Phoenix area gives you some interesting insights into what the people who used to live there treasured most.
The ironic thing is that many of the things people treasure - they end up leaving behind.
Case in point: Alcohol bottles.
Some people decorate their homes with (empty) alcohol bottles. They even build display shelves when they run out of display room on their TV. If your living room is decorated with alcohol bottles, I can only assume that you treasure them. Or treasure the memories of them. Or treasure the memories you had with them. Or treasure the memories of the people (or person) that you were with when the bottles made their transition from full to empty.
Yet, when you leave… you leave them behind?
When leaving a house due to foreclosure, people leave behind the darndest things. Things that they absolutely worshiped when they lived in the home.
Another case in point:
Does anyone know what these are?
I am not 100% positive, but it seems to me that at one point - I suspect that someone actually was very interested in these things… yet they left them behind?
I guess the bottom line is this - when leaving a property due to foreclosure, people often leave many things behind. And it is somewhat impossible to predict what someone deems important enough to take with them or unimportant enough to leave behind — until you see it for yourself.

What exactly is a “trash-out company”?
We are a group of guys who happen to be licensed Arizona general contractors and have organized a small army of experts wearing blue shirts when “trashing out” a home that has been foreclosed on by the lender and needs a little TLC before being listed for sale again.
So if you are looking for a Phoenix area trashout company, look no further - because we do trashouts in the most professional, trashiest, infotainment-kind-of-way.
Usually when someone calls, the first question they ask us is:
“Do you do more than just haul trash away from a property when doing a trashout?”
Yes.
We are fantastic at hauling trash away from a home but we do much more than that if needed. We have experts that work for us in every area that you may need when applying TLC to a foreclosed home - and we also make it interesting to work with us.
You see, we have found that not only is “trashing out” a house an interesting job, but we find that people are morbidly curious about the kinds of stuff that people leave behind when they leave.
This is why we are first and the original “trashout guys” who are bringing information about what it is like to trash out a house right to your fingertips… and you don’t even have to get dirty!
Although we can be interesting and fun, we are also stone-cold professional and experts. So when you work with us, you will find that in addition to leaving the property in a “clean” condition, here is a short list of what else you can expect:
- We will take pictures of the before and after we have “done our thing”
- We sometimes take videos as well
- After we first tour a property, we will give you a punchlist of everything that we suggest being done to the property and let you choose what you would like us to do
- After we have completed the punchlist, we will send it to with our inspectors signature for signoff
- We are able to handle *everything* that the property will need (we are general contractors after all) including re-keying doors, landscaping, drywall repair, door repair, masonry, or just about anything else that you can think of that has to do with property maintenance/repairs
- You can reach us pretty much anytime except when we are sleeping via phone/text/twitter/carrier pigeons or however else you want
- anytime
Oh, and don’t forget - you will always be able to catch us in our blue shirts. Possibly even doing a live streaming video of our most recent adventure of trashing out a home near you!
