A Careful Hoarder Cleanout Plan for Dos Palos, CA Homes

1. Safety first

Before lifting, the crew looks for unstable piles, sharp objects, mold and pests. Protective equipment is chosen to match what is found.

2. Plan hauling

Dumpsters, trucks and donation drop-offs are lined up for the property. Larger items get a lifting plan.

3. Remove, donate and recycle

Trash goes to disposal, usable goods go to donation, and recyclables go where they belong. Spoiled and unsafe items leave first.

4. Finish with a clean

Rooms are cleaned to the level the job needs, from broom-clean to full disinfecting. Notes on repairs are passed to the owner.
