They overlap. Hoarding cleanup focuses on sorting and clearing belongings. Squalor cleanup focuses on sanitation, such as waste, rot and grime. Many homes need both, and one team can plan them together.

Usable goods go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, soiled or unsafe items go to disposal, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
