As more and more homeowners leave behind their homes in foreclosures in a hurry, junk haulers are definitely not complaining. The hurried exits mean junk and lots of it. Overgrown lawns, broken grills, picket fences, rotting food, garbage filled rooms and much else are regularly seen around in the city of Huston foreclosures.

Mortgage lenders are hiring junk haulers to clean these foreclosed homes so that they can be prepared for the auction. House cleaners are regularly in demand to clean these properties. While there is definite rot and mold everywhere, it’s a monetary rewarding job, even though it comes with its own set of health hazards. Known as foreclosure cleaners, these people clean up the mess left behind by the owners of these foreclosed homes for sale and earn their living. Slowly, but surely, their numbers are increasing. Cleaning foreclosed homes can get them $2,000 each.

Foreclosure cleaners are local laborers and as one foreclosure cleaner says, “"The thing about foreclosures is that there is so much work out there. It's a loss for a lot of people, but it all depends on how you look at the ­ situation." Established foreclosure cleaning firms are overworked, especially in areas of Huston where foreclosures are on the rise. Since, the Huston mortgage lenders are in a hurry to auction the properties and get their money; small-time junk haulers are their best bet to get the houses ready for resale.

Texas foreclosure rate has been directing the state upwards on the foreclosures by state list released each month. It can be said that while the subprime crisis has hit most Americans badly, it has spelled good news for some.
