Planning a Lynn estate cleanout

Most Lynn estates are older two- and three-family houses with attics, a cellar and sometimes a garage. Start with the legal side: keep documents, jewelry and photos aside. Walk the house with a family member and mark items for keep, donate, sell and discard.

A full house in Lynn typically fills two to four trailers. Because the price is by the load, the cost goes down when you donate or sell first. We give a range from photos and confirm on site.

Where usable things can go

Clean clothing and household goods can go to the Salvation Army at 10 Munroe St, Lynn, and Goodwill runs an attended center at 450 Paradise Rd in Swampscott. Solid furniture and building materials are worth a call to the Essex County Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Lawrence.

Furniture that is stained, broken or missing parts goes with us. Goodwill does not accept mattresses; they are recycled, and each is priced on our menu, $89 to $129.

Paperwork, valuables and what we can not take

Shred papers with personal data before the cleanout, or keep them for the family. We do not take paint, solvents, propane or other hazardous materials. Lynn residents can take paint and chemicals to the next hazardous waste Saturday on May 15, 2027, at 250 Commercial St, for $43 to $85.

If a realtor is waiting on the house, say the date and we schedule around the closing. A broom-clean house is part of the job.

Ask for a written quote before the day, so the family agrees on the number ahead of time.
