Estate Cleanout FAQ for East Jacksonville, Jacksonville, FL: Who Does It, Who Pays, How Long

What happens to the items that are not kept?

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.

What if there is hoarding or a lot of clutter?

A cluttered home takes more time, and the sorting needs even more care. Crews set up safe paths, look for hazards and sort slowly. Ask the team what extra steps apply to dense contents.

Can the team find and keep valuables?
