How save money on trash out for a hoarder’s house?

Hi, everyone, happy new year!

I spent more than 5k on my first property for all the trash out (3 largest dumpers, GC, labor, texas).

I got my second house for flip from foreclosure.

It’s still a hoarder’s home, more trash than the previous one:(

Anyone has some tips on how to save on trash out? It’s really a big ticket for me.

Depending on the condition of the junk, you might open it up to the neighborhood.  We bought one a few years ago that was just a lot of stuff, knee-high, but not a ton of dirty trash, so I just put a sign in the yard saying something like "Free stuff".  Random people hauled off a ridiculous amount of the junk for us.  We also usually call one of our area junker/metal guys and they will take a lot of metal stuff for free.
