Not in regular trash. Household chemicals, old paint and batteries usually have special disposal rules set by city and county offices. A cleanout team can separate them and explain where they go.
Who pays for a hoarder house cleanout?
Usually the owner. For an estate, the estate pays or the cost comes from the sale of the house. Family members sometimes share it. In a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant.

Is hoarding a mental health condition?
Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. A cleanout team does not diagnose anyone and treats every home and every person with respect.
