About Empty the Nest

Empty the Nest’s origin came from a simple question: “after you move or transition, what happens to all the stuff you can’t take?”  This may include items that kids or loved ones no longer want, or simply items left after downsizing.  

The issue isn’t just how to empty homes. The real need is to take the overwhelming task of “emptying the nest” and make it simple and comfortable; respectful and responsible.

What makes Empty the Nest unique is that we treat your belongings with respect. We provide wall-to-wall home cleanout that minimizes waste and maximizes reuse.

Our team goes through the home with you – you take what you want, we take care of the rest. If we discover an item during cleanout that we think might have personal value to you – we’ll let you know.

Some of the items are donated; we give you the donation receipts. Other items are sold for reuse and “upcycling,” in our retail store – reducing the cost of our services for you. And items that can’t be donated or sold are responsibly and securely recycled.

The great majority of our business comes from referrals. We want our clients to have a great experience and naturally share our services with others who might need them. We take care of emptying your nest, so that you can feel confident in moving on and moving ahead.

We empty nests through our home cleanout services in the Twin Cities area. Contact us about services beyond our area.

Wow! If you haven’t been to Empty the Nest, you’re missing out on a fun and inexpensive shopping experience. The inventory changes constantly. You’ll never know what you’ll find. Today I bought a Poulan chainsaw in a case for $8. Bring your friends and family. You will love this store.

Unmatched customer service in the world of thrift store shopping. All staff is attentive, courteous and accommodating. The quality and price of wares (mostly home furnishings) is very reasonable. I purchased a 1970s Baldwin spinet piano for $68 and even my piano tuner was impressed (normally, thrift pianos turn out to be sold in worthless condition). Must mention that this store is a by-product of the company’s initial move-out service. Highly recommended!

Hired Empty the Nest to clear out my parents’ house as we were getting ready to sell so my parents could downsize. The team that arrived on time were so awesome. They completely cleared out the contents from the house and provided donation slips for items they donate instead of sell in their store. If you are looking for a company to assist you with clearing out clutter, downsizing, etc.. you should be happy you found Empty the Nest.
