Define the scope
A cleanout can mean one room, several rooms, a garage or an entire property. Define which spaces are included.
Separate important belongings
Documents, keepsakes, valuables and items that remain in the property should be identified before removal begins.
Group the material
Keep, donate, sell and remove are useful categories for creating a workable plan.
Identify special items
Appliances, electronics, construction material and other unusual items may have different acceptance or disposal requirements.
Document the project
Photos and a simple inventory can help a provider understand volume, access and the amount of labor involved.
