Pre-Service Preparation

Pre-Service Preparation

• Assess the storage area to identify what needs to be removed or organized.
• Gather necessary cleaning supplies (trash bags, boxes, cleaning solutions).
• Notify any relevant parties (e.g., family members, storage facility management) about the cleanout schedule.

During Service

• Remove all items from the storage unit to evaluate what is being kept, donated, or discarded.
• Clean the storage area thoroughly (sweep, dust, and disinfect surfaces).
• Organize the remaining items into designated categories (keep, donate, discard, recycle).

Post-Service Verification

• Confirm that all unwanted items have been properly disposed of or donated.
• Check that the storage area is clean and organized, with items stored safely.
• Document what was removed and any important notes for future reference.

Local Requirements

• Ensure compliance with local waste disposal regulations for discarded items.
• Check if there are any restrictions on donations to local charities or organizations.
• Verify hours of operation for waste disposal sites or donation centers.
