Go slowly and begin with safety and paperwork. Secure documents, jewelry and photos first. Then work room by room, and ask a team to help with lifting, hauling and cleaning. Take breaks. Nothing says the whole house must be done in one weekend.
Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain what applies. The tenant's family or estate usually has to clear belongings by a set date, and a team can work to that deadline.
Then biohazard cleanup comes before sorting. A team removes affected materials, cleans, disinfects and treats odor. After that, the home can be sorted safely. Many teams can do both parts, so ask when you call.
They are sorted into donate, recycle and dispose. Usable items can often be donated, and the rest is hauled away. Hazardous items such as chemicals and old medicines are handled safely. Ask the team how each category is handled.
It depends on the size of the home, the amount of belongings and how many decisions remain. A small apartment can take a day or two, while a full house takes longer. A team can give a timeline after a walkthrough or a look at photos.
Teams usually check drawers, closets and pockets for cash, jewelry and papers and set them aside for the family. Tell the crew what to look for, and ask how found items will be returned to you.
Questions about timing, access or biohazard cleanup are welcome on the call.
