Camo Crew House Cleanout and Donation Process
From your cluttered garage to someone’s new favorite armchair - our 5-Phase Recovery Process turns home cleanouts into real community impact. Be it downsizing, handling an estate, or prepping a property for sale, we’re here to make your transition smoother, greener, and more meaningful.
Call the Crew to responsibly remove your items and help those in need across Southeast Wisconsin.
Why Responsible Cleanouts Matter
Let’s face it, clearing out a home is no walk in the park. It’s emotional. It’s exhausting. And sometimes, it’s downright overwhelming.
But what if clearing out a Wisconsin household didn’t just mean “getting rid of stuff”?
What if it meant giving those items a second chance to serve someone else?
At Camo Crew Responsible Junk Removal, that’s exactly what we do. Every job is a chance to:
Keep reusable items out of the landfill
Help families and nonprofits through donations
Transform clutter into peace of mind
We’re not just hauling things away, we’re bringing clarity to chaos and dignity to every item’s next chapter.
Our 5-Phase Recovery Process
At Camo Crew Responsible Junk Removal, we're focused on giving your junk a purpose. Our 5-Phase Recovery Process is how we turn clutter into opportunity and waste into something better. Here's the breakdown,
Phase 1: Reduce
We run our trucks in pairs to reduce fuel consumption and emissions and to run more efficiently with less driving. We use totes, bins, and pallets instead of garbage bags to sort and move items.
Phase 2: Reuse
We use things we remove in our business and in our shop. Using items again for the same purpose.
Phase 3: Repurpose
We donate items to donation centers and partners, giving a new life with renewed value to the removed items.
Phase 4: Recycle
We pass items (cardboard, glass, plastics, wood) on to recycling centers to be turned into other products.
Phase 5: Responsible Disposal
We dispose of items as a last resort, not a first, following all industry best practices.

Who Benefits From Your Items?
When you book a cleanout with us, you’re not just clearing space in your home - you’re investing in someone else’s future. Every donation helps a family, supports a nonprofit, or enhances a local care facility right here in Southeast Wisconsin.
Here’s where your items go - and how they make a difference:
From gently used furniture to tools and home decor, Habitat ReStores sell donated items to support affordable housing programs. Your old dresser? It might just help build someone’s new home.
Azura Memory Care & Assisted Living
Items like puzzles, art supplies, and household goods bring joy to seniors in long-term care. What you no longer need can become a comfort to someone living with memory loss.
St. Vincent De Paul Society of Waukesha County
We work with St. Vincent De Paul Society of Waukesha County and multiple other donation centers that accept everything from electronics to clothing, making sure your items find the right home.
