Pre-Service Preparation

Pre-Service Preparation

• Assess the basement for items to be removed and categorize them (e.g., trash, donations, keep).
• Gather necessary supplies: gloves, trash bags, boxes for donations, cleaning supplies, and tools.
• Ensure proper ventilation in the basement area to avoid dust and odors during the cleanout.

During Service

• Start with the removal of trash and unwanted items, ensuring proper disposal methods are followed.
• Sort and pack items designated for donation into clearly labeled boxes.
• Clean the basement surfaces (floors, walls, shelves) as items are removed to ensure a fresh start.

Post-Service Verification

• Conduct a walk-through of the basement to ensure all unwanted items have been removed and disposed of properly.
• Check for any remaining items that need to be sorted or cleaned.
• Confirm that the basement is free of debris and has been restored to a clean and organized state.

Local Requirements

• Check for local disposal regulations for hazardous materials or large items.
• Verify local recycling programs for electronic waste or other recyclables.
• Research any required permits for large-scale cleanouts if applicable in your area.
