Pre-Service Preparation

Pre-Service Preparation

• Conduct a walkthrough of the space to assess areas that need decluttering.
• Gather necessary supplies (boxes, bags, labels, markers, cleaning materials).
• Create a plan outlining the decluttering strategy (room-by-room, category-based, etc.).

During Service

• Sort items into categories: keep, donate, recycle, and discard.
• Organize the items being kept into designated spaces.
• Clean the areas that were decluttered (dusting, vacuuming, etc.).

Post-Service Verification

• Review the decluttered areas to ensure everything is organized properly.
• Confirm that all items designated for donation or disposal are removed from the premises.
• Provide the client with a summary of what was accomplished and any recommendations for ongoing organization.

Local Requirements

• Ensure compliance with local disposal regulations for hazardous materials.
• Check local guidelines for donation centers and recycling facilities.
• Be aware of any permits needed for large item removals, if applicable.
