Pre-Service Preparation

Pre-Service Preparation

• Identify the areas of the house that need clearing (e.g., rooms, attic, basement).
• Gather necessary supplies (e.g., garbage bags, boxes, cleaning supplies).
• Schedule a date and time for the house clearing service.

During Service

• Remove items from designated areas and sort them into keep, donate, recycle, and discard.
• Clean surfaces in cleared areas to prepare for new organization or usage.
• Document valuable items or belongings for the homeowner.

Post-Service Verification

• Conduct a walkthrough with the homeowner to ensure satisfaction with the clearing.
• Confirm that all sorted items are accounted for and handled according to the homeowner's wishes.
• Clean up the work area and dispose of waste properly.

Local Requirements

• Verify local disposal regulations for hazardous materials (e.g., electronics, chemicals).
• Check for any permits needed for large item disposal or yard waste.
• Ensure compliance with local donation centers' guidelines for acceptable items.
