You will probably have to follow the abandoned property laws of your state and county. You cannot get rid of ANYTHING until you’ve followed those laws EXACTLY. You can certainly move the items and store them in a secure location, but that’s the extent of it.
Most abandoned property laws are that you must attempt to contact the owner of the property and give them 30 days to get the items. You may also have to post public notice (like in the penny save or classifieds section). Once that time frame is up, you can do with them what you wish. I would probably post an ad in the newspaper & on craigslist saying "junk. free. u-haul." and then a short description of a the items. Post a photo (on CL) and after that, call some junk haulers to come get the bus and rent a dumpster to get rid of the rest.

Short sales are sold as is, that’s your junk now.. You’re going to have to pay for removal. Contact local towing companies, they’ll get rid of the auto’s, it will cost ya though. The other stuff, rent a large dumpster and clean away!
Congrats on your new home, and new junk.. lol jk

You are the proud owner of a bus. Yep. You. You get to take care of the junk, weeds and whatever else the last owner left.
Now, what to do with a bus? Well, why not call a local auto scrap yard and ask if they would buy it. They may actually PAY you to come pick it up and take it to their salvage yard.

Push it out onto the public street and let the city or local government deal with it, no one can claim they have the right to stored on you property right? So if you move it to the curb, the city will eventually deal with it.

Once you received the keys to the home, all that stuff became your property. You can dispose of it as you wish. You might try to contact the previous owner to see if s/he wants to come and get it, but you don’t have to.
Cutting the grass and removing the weeds is your responsibility.
