Clean Out Your House

What Clean Out Your House does

Clean Out Your House Inc. is a Waltham, Massachusetts-based residential cleanout services business founded in 2004 by Larry DeRoche. The company provides labor and trucks to remove unwanted household items including furniture, appliances, mattresses, hazardous waste, and general clutter, operating from three locations (Waltham, Framingham, Pembroke) across Eastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod, with reach into Worcester, Rhode Island, and Southern New Hampshire. Its core offering is differentiated into three service lines: disposal (trash removal with responsible handling), donation (channeling reusable items to partner charities such as Household Goods, the Epilepsy Foundation, and More Than Words Books, with over 36,000 items donated over the last 15 years), and consignment (delivery of gently used high-end furniture to its Buy & Consign retail stores in Waltham and Framingham).

The business operates with approximately five employees using a direct-to-consumer model, reaching customers through its website, phone (781-996-0968), and contact-form quote requests. Revenue is generated via an hourly fee plus disposal costs for cleanout services and a transaction commission on consigned furniture sales. There is no proprietary technology stack; the operation is fundamentally labor-and-logistics intensive, supported by an ecosystem of sister brands (Good Deeds Cleanouts for South Shore coverage, Good Deeds Store, Buy & Consign retail) that close the loop from pickup through retail resale or charitable redistribution.

Go-to-market is organic and local: word-of-mouth referrals, SEO-optimized service pages, and a long-tenured community presence. Pricing is quote-based rather than standardized, with free estimates provided via on-site visits or photo submissions. The customer base is fragmented residential long-tail with no disclosed enterprise contracts, and one institutional referral source (Linden Ponds senior living community). The company is privately held, has no disclosed funding rounds, and is founder-led.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Republic Services: Major US waste and recycling services company with residential bulk and special pickup programs. Broad incumbent that touches the same end-customer need (removing unwanted household items) but does not specialize in full-service cleanouts.
• Waste Management (Residential Bulk Pickup): Largest US waste hauler with residential bulk-pickup offerings through municipal contracts. While primarily a broad-spectrum waste incumbent rather than a cleanout specialist, it competes at the low end of the same customer problem (disposing unwanted household items).

Direct peers

• Junk King: National franchised junk removal brand with eco-friendly disposal positioning. Competes directly with Clean Out Your House on residential junk removal, appliance and furniture hauling, and recycling/donation routing.
• LoadUp: Tech-enabled junk removal provider offering on-demand booking and eco-conscious disposal with donation partnerships. Competes in the same residential cleanout category and shares donation-routing differentiation with Clean Out Your House.
• Two Men and a Truck: National moving and junk hauling franchise. While moving is its anchor, the company offers junk removal and cleanout-adjacent services that compete directly for time-sensitive residential work like move-outs and estate cleanouts.
• 1-800-GOT-JUNK: National franchised residential and commercial junk removal brand operating across the US (including Massachusetts). Direct competitor to Clean Out Your House on the same core service—trash and furniture/appliance removal—with a much larger marketing footprint and seven-day availability.
• College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving: National franchise offering junk hauling and moving services, including residential cleanouts. Comparable business model with branded crews, franchise scaling, and donation partnerships (e.g., Goodwill). Directly competitive in Massachusetts metro markets.
• JDog Junk Removal: Veteran-owned national junk removal franchise serving residential customers. Directly overlaps Clean Out Your House on appliance/furniture removal and cleanout services with comparable hourly-plus-disposal pricing.

Others

• EstateSales.NET: National directory of estate sale companies that frequently coordinate cleanouts alongside sales. Not a direct cleanout competitor, but operationally adjacent—estate sale companies often subcontract or partner with cleanout services like Clean Out Your House.

Emerging players

• Caring Transitions: National franchise specializing in senior relocation, downsizing, estate sales, and cleanouts. Direct overlap with Clean Out Your House's estate cleanout and downsizing customer segments, often serving the same senior-living referral pipeline.
