We're here to haul, not to comment. You can tell us as much or as little as you want, and a few photos are enough to start. If photos feel like too much, just call.
How we'd approach it
- Talk it through: who lives there, what the deadline is, and who makes decisions.
- Agree on what stays. Papers, photos, money and medications should be set aside. Tell us what to watch for.
- Start with what's easiest to let go of, and clear a safe path first.
- Work in stages, if that's better for the person living there. Bigger homes may take more than one visit.
Be honest with us about safety
If it's someone you love
If the person is unwilling, a cleanout usually goes badly. Talk to them first if you can. A doctor, a therapist or a local aging services agency may be able to help with the part that isn't about the stuff. If a city or a landlord has given you a deadline, tell us the date.
What it costs
Junk removal is priced by how much of the truck your load fills, from $225 for an eighth of a truck to $745 for a full one. Stairs, long carries and heavy materials can affect it, and you'll hear your price before we start.
Most homes like this take more than one load, so we'll give you the plan before we start.
We work in Santa Clarita, Burbank, Pasadena and Beverly Hills, along with the rest of Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.
Driveway Safe is licensed and insured, and it's owned and run by David Steven in Lake Balboa. Call or text 818-231-3056 any hour, and tell us what you're working on.

Common questions
How much does a hoarder cleanout cost?
It depends on how much has to go and how easy it is to reach. Each truck is priced by load, up to $745 for a full one. Send photos or call, and you'll hear the price before we start.
Do you do biohazard cleanup?
No. If there's biological waste, tell us first. You may need a licensed cleanup company for that part.
Will my neighbors know?
We'll talk through timing and parking with you. We're open 24 hours, so tell us when works best.
