Plan, sort, remove and clean, in that order. Gather valuables and papers first, clear exits and hazards, then empty room by room into keep, donate, recycle and discard groups. You can get a cleanout team for the heavy lifting and a deep clean to finish.
That depends on the plan. Some jobs end broom-clean, and others include deep cleaning, disinfecting and odor treatment. Ask the team to say exactly what the job covers before work starts.
Regular junk removal assumes you point at items and they go. A hoarding cleanout includes sorting for valuables, hazard checks, protective gear, disposal of spoiled or contaminated items and cleaning afterward. It takes more care and more time.
Usable goods go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, broken or unsafe items go to disposal, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
The crew works with added protection and removes affected materials. Pest control and mold remediation are separate trades, and the team can say when they are needed so you can plan.
Call and ask how valuables, papers and keepsakes are kept safe during the haul-away.
