Shocking find in trashed Sydney home

People could not believe what they were seeing when a video of a trashed Sydney home went viral.

Cleaner shocked at what he found in this hoarder's home

A video has gone viral of a trashed Sydney home with rubbish completely covering the floor and one room so bad, cans are piled up to the ceiling.

“What you’re about to see can be a little bit confronting and disturbing,” TikToker Nathan (AKA Nathan’s Lawns and Gardens) warns as he begins to film the shocking state of the house.

The father-of-three is known for volunteering his time to clean up yards for free for vulnerable people and then sharing videos of the transformations online.

In this case, he was assisting cleaning up a home and backyard to help get it “somewhat presentable” to be put on the market.

Nathan said a grandma had lived in the home before she was moved to a nursing home where she died.

One of the grandchildren had been living at the home for a few months before the real estate agent saw the condition of the property and told him to leave.

“It’s sad how this place has been left,” Nathan said.

“I’m here to offer my services and do what I can. I love a challenge.

“The smell in here, it’s fair to say, it’s horrendous. We’ll have the hazmat suit on.

“I have already seen a few things running around in this place, I think rats or mice so that’s going to be fun.”

Nathan’s tour of the home has been viewed almost 700,000 times in just 16 hours since being uploaded.

Commenters couldn’t believe the number of empty cans in the house.

“Omg those cans would be like $2k,” one person wrote.

“I’d love to know the total for the cans collected,” said another.

“Is the person even alive after drinking all those energy drinks,” asked a third.

“All those cans would come out to be a house deposit,” joked someone else.

The Return and Earn program in NSW recycles used bottles and cans with a 10-cent refund for each.

A second video showed Nathan needing to kick the door down to the room with the cans to get access.
