What trash-out services are
Trash-out is the servicer word for emptying a vacant interior. It still requires lawful vacancy. It is not a lockout and not a renovation.
Key facts
- Lifecycle stage: Junk.
- EvictIQ field operations: Georgia (metro Atlanta). We do not operate field crews in every state.
- Exact claims only: 10,000+ completed evictions; 72-hour service of tenant after filing on average (Georgia service).
- Not a law firm. Not legal advice. No date guarantees. No price list on this page.
What this service is
Asset managers say trash-out. Landlords say junk removal or cleanout. The field work overlaps: bag, haul, sweep, photograph. The file should still show why you were allowed inside.
Trash-out is not make-ready paint and it is not a kitchen remodel. Those are separate scopes. No published price list. No fake national crews.
When this step is needed
You need a trash-out when a servicer or owner wants a vacant interior emptied so the asset can be inspected, preserved, or listed.
You do not need one to empty an occupied house. That is not a work order — that is an eviction or a lawsuit.
How the process usually works
- Confirm vacancy and the work-order code.
- Remove debris and bulky items in the written scope.
- Sweep and photograph.
- Exclude hazardous items the order does not cover.
- Note anything left because of a hold.
Courts and executing offices set their own calendars. These are operational steps, not a guaranteed timeline.
What this step usually covers
- Interior debris removed after vacancy is confirmed
- Appliances and bulky items as scoped
- Sweep and photos
- A note of anything left because of a hold
These are the jobs the step exists to do. They are not a nationwide menu EvictIQ staffs in every county.
What you must verify locally
- The work-order code the servicer used
- Dump restrictions
- Whether hazardous material is excluded
We do not publish a stale per-state timetable. Statutes change.
What this does not include
- Legal advice, courtroom representation, or an attorney-client relationship
- A guaranteed hearing date, writ date, or setout date — courts and executing offices set their own calendars
- Self-help lockouts, utility shutoffs, or removal of belongings outside a court-issued writ
- A published price. Scope and price are written after intake, before work starts
Georgia we can handle. Elsewhere we route.

Common questions
Is trash-out the same as cleanout?
Close. Trash-out is the REO/work-order name. Cleanout on this site is the post-eviction reset. Scope them in writing so you are not arguing about paint later.
Do you trash-out bank houses in every state?
No nationwide field coverage. Georgia we can discuss. Other states we route.

We'll tell you so rather than take the lead. What to look for locally: a provider who knows which office executes writs in your county, who gives you cycle-time variance rather than an average, and who refuses to guarantee a completion date.
