An empty lot in February becomes a trash pile by June.

Vacant properties attract illegal dumping. Contractors dispose of debris there instead of paying dump fees. Neighbors leave yard waste. People dump furniture, appliances, construction materials – anything they don’t want to pay to dispose of properly.

Clean Out Network has spent 20+ years clearing vacant lots throughout the region. Small residential lots with one truckload of debris. Multi-acre commercial properties requiring heavy equipment and multiple dumpsters. Industrial sites with contaminated soil requiring environmental assessment.

We’ve cleaned lots illegally dumped on for years. Properties where abandoned structures collapsed and nobody cleared the debris. Land purchased for development buried under trash requiring removal before work begins.

We have equipment for large-scale clearing. Crews trained for heavy work. Resources to handle jobs ranging from small residential lots to acres of commercial property.

After clearing, many property owners want to prevent recurrence.

Temporary Solutions:

• Fencing or barriers
• No dumping signage
• Regular inspections and quick removal of new debris
• Security cameras (deterrent effect)

Permanent Solutions:

• Development or improvement of property
• Ongoing landscape maintenance making dumping difficult
• Community reporting systems

We can’t prevent illegal dumping directly but can provide quick response when new debris appears.

Pricing depends on debris volume, equipment required, disposal requirements, and property access.

We quote based on project scope:

• Small lot cleanup – Single-family residential lot, one to three truckloads of debris
• Medium lot clearing – Larger residential or small commercial lots, multiple dump runs, light equipment use
• Large-scale clearing – Multi-acre properties, heavy equipment required, major volume removal
• Ongoing maintenance – Regular clearing services for properties experiencing repeated illegal dumping

Factors affecting pricing:

• Total debris volume
• Property size and access
• Equipment requirements (hand-loading vs. heavy equipment)
• Debris types (standard waste vs. special disposal materials)
• Disposal facility distances
• Timeline requirements

We provide detailed quotes after site assessment. Large projects may include phased pricing for systematic clearing.

Illegal Dumping Cleanup

Properties where the public treats your vacant lot as a free dump. Ongoing problem requiring periodic clearing or one-time massive cleanup.

Pre-Development Clearing

Land purchased for construction requiring debris removal before development begins. Clean slates for builders.

Foreclosure Property Clearing

Banks or investors acquiring properties with accumulated debris. Preparing lots for sale or development.

Municipal Compliance

City or county code enforcement requiring property clearing. Meeting deadlines to avoid fines or liens.

Estate Property Clearing

Inherited land with years or decades of accumulated debris. Properties nobody maintained after owners passed away.

Post-Demolition Cleanup

Structures demolished but debris left behind. Completing cleanup contractors didn’t finish.

Abandoned Property Rehabilitation

Long-vacant properties requiring complete clearing to return to productive use or sale.

Storm Damage Debris

Fallen trees, structural damage, accumulated debris from severe weather events.

Vacant lot debris often includes materials requiring special handling.

Tires

Cannot go to standard landfills. Require processing at tire recycling facilities.

Electronics

E-waste containing heavy metals and toxic materials. Must go to certified e-waste processors.

Appliances

Refrigerators requiring refrigerant recovery. Other appliances needing metal recycling.

Construction Debris

Concrete, asphalt, roofing materials – each has specific disposal requirements.

Contaminated Soil

If debris included hazardous materials, soil testing may be required. We coordinate with environmental consultants when needed.

We ensure all materials go to appropriate facilities meeting environmental regulations.
