People first.Then the stuff.A Fight the Blight initiative

Start here - Fight the Blight

Choose one next step. You do not have to plan a cleanout.

These options serve different needs and are not endorsements. The City of Gillette and Campbell County are separate governments; confirm which office serves your address. Call the linked organization to confirm current fit, location, cost, eligibility, and availability.

A people-first place to begin when clutter or hoarding is affecting you or someone you care about. Ask about respectful next steps and virtual groups. You do not have to agree to discard belongings to start a conversation.

Role: nonprofit hoarding-support front door and virtual peer groups; geography: ask about Campbell County and online options; cost/eligibility: confirm current group access, fit, and any cost; emergency limit: nonclinical peer support—not therapy, crisis response, or cleanup

For immediate danger

Call 911 for immediate physical danger, fire, or urgent medical emergencies. For a mental-health or substance-use crisis, call or text 988. Wyoming 211 is for resource navigation, not emergency response.
