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 Worland and Washakie 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.
