•Check the online classifieds on craigslist.org for “junk removal” services or for “handyman” and cleaning labor.
•Check your local churches to see if they have volunteer groups to help clean out these types of homes.
•Post on Freecycle.org
•If you don't see a company listed in your area, some people have reported finding companies to clean out these types of homes by searching "crime scene clean-ups" or "meth lab clean-ups."
