Questions Residents and Relatives in Covina, CA Ask About Hoarding Cleanup
At what age does hoarding usually start?
There is no single age. Hoarding behaviors can begin early in life and often become more noticeable over time, so many families only seek help later. A doctor can speak to an individual situation.
How do you talk to someone about a hoarding cleanup?
Speak calmly, start with safety and ask what they want to keep. Avoid blame and surprises, and agree on a small first step. Many people feel more at ease once they know who will be in the home and what will happen.
How do you help a hoarder clean?

What happens to the items that are removed?
Usable items go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, damaged or unsafe items are disposed of correctly, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
