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

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