It's a one-day event where pre-registered community members come during assigned time slots to take items they can use from the estate. Instead of sorting and pricing everything or paying thousands for removal, items find direct homes with people who want them. Events typically run 9am-5pm (hours can be adjusted), with participants arriving in scheduled one-hour slots.

No. Simply remove any keepsakes, important documents, and items you want to keep. Everything else can stay exactly where it is. No sorting, organizing, or pricing required. Community members will come through and take what they can use.

Everything that isn't physically attached to the property must be included - hence 'the whole kit and caboodle.' If there are items you or family members want to keep, these must be removed before the event day. Fixtures, built-in appliances, and structural elements stay with the house. For safety, hazardous materials, illegal items, and firearms cannot be included.

We attract a diverse mix of community members - from young families furnishing their first homes to collectors and dealers who help redistribute items to those who need them. Many participants come prepared with help for moving larger items, ensuring efficient clearing.

Yes, you need a representative on-site during event hours. Their role is simply to be present and provide access to the property. Participants often bring help for moving items, which is welcomed and encouraged.

The day is divided into one-hour slots, with 2-5 pre-registered participants per slot (depending on property size). Participants receive the exact address by text 2 hours before their assigned time. This controlled flow prevents overcrowding and ensures a comfortable experience for everyone.

We require a minimum of 5 days between booking and event day to coordinate participants and organize time slots. You can book further in advance if you prefer, which many families find helpful for coordinating travel and schedules.

Items find new homes quickly through our community of participants. While some items go directly to neighbors, others are redistributed through local networks, ensuring they stay out of landfills and get to people who can use them. What remains is usually minimal - manageable with regular garbage service rather than expensive junk removal.

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied with your Caboodle experience, we'll refund your fee. No questions asked.

There's no fee for cancellation. We simply ask for 24 hours' notice as a courtesy to registered participants. You can also reschedule if needed.

Yes! Many families fly in Saturday, spend the day gathering keepsakes, have a local person manage the Sunday event, and fly home that evening. The entire process is designed to be completed in one weekend.

Traditional junk removal typically costs $2,000-4,000 for a full house. Estate sales require weeks of preparation plus commission fees. Our flat fee of $595 includes platform access, participant coordination, and time slot management. Plus, items find direct homes in your community instead of going to landfill.
