• Organize items into designated categories (keep, donate, sell, discard).
• Clean the basement space, including dusting surfaces and vacuuming or sweeping the floor.

Post-Service Verification

• Confirm that all unwanted items have been properly disposed of or set aside for donation/sale.
• Inspect the cleaned area for any remaining debris or mess.

Local Requirements

• Research local donation centers or recycling facilities for appropriate disposal options.
