A 'hoarder' left their house so swamped in trash that it took an eight-strong team days to clear the '10 tonnes' of rubbish and thousands of beer bottles... many filled with urine. House clearance company The Rubbish Removers were called to the property by a customer who had inherited the house from a distant relative.
The new owner hoped to sell the property but had no chance with the state it was in - with rubbish piled up to chest height in most rooms and even to the ceiling in one. Operations manager Richard Walsh was one of eight workers on site for the mammoth clear-up job.
Despite being a relatively small two-bedroom, one-bathroom terraced house, the 31-year-old says that he and his team removed around ten tonnes of waste over the three-day job. Footage from the clear-out shows mounds of waste covering the entire floor and piling up filthy walls - even swamping over an armchair and mattress in two of the rooms.
