Wait, Don't Forget That! Commonly Missed Items in Home Cleanouts

Published July 3rd, 2025 by Tobey's Junk Hauling

Small items make big problems in home cleanouts. That old medicine bottle behind the mirror? Those documents stuffed in the fireplace mantel? They matter more than you think. Here's what actually needs checking during your Reno home cleanout.

Wait, Don't Forget That! Commonly Missed Items in Home Cleanouts

The Real Hidden Spots

Houses hide things in plain sight. Not just closets and drawers - we're talking about the spots nobody thinks to check. The space above your kitchen cabinets holds more than dust. That gap behind your washer? It's probably hiding something important.

  • The dead space above kitchen cabinets
  • Inside hollow fireplace mantels
  • Behind loose bathroom tiles
  • Under basement stair treads
  • Inside HVAC returns

Papers That Can't Just Go

Old papers aren't just trash. Birth certificates get mixed with junk mail. Bank statements hide in magazine stacks. One wrong toss and your identity goes with the garbage. We spot these before they hit the truck.

The Stuff That Can Hurt You

Some junk bites back. That unmarked bottle in the garage? Those old batteries in the drawer? They need special handling. Our residential junk removal teams know what to look for:

  • Half-empty medicine bottles
  • Corroded electronics
  • Mercury thermometers
  • Old fuel cans
  • Unlabeled chemical jugs

Money You Almost Threw Away

Cash hides in weird places. We've found valuable coins inside old boots. Stock certificates between book pages. That "worthless" painting? Sometimes it's not. Check twice, toss once.

Quick Answers

Where do most people mess up? They skip the weird spots - crawl spaces, built-ins, false bottoms in drawers.

What about dangerous stuff? We handle it right - proper containers, correct facilities, by-the-book disposal.

Found something valuable? It stops there. We alert you immediately.

Can you sort donations? Yes. Good stuff goes to Reno charities that need it.
