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.
Can paint, batteries and chemicals be thrown out?
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.

Not always. If access can be arranged, the owner or a family member does not have to stay on site. Clear instructions about what to keep and a way to reach someone help the job go smoothly.

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.
