What should I ask an estate cleanout company before hiring?

Ask how it protects papers and valuables, how it deals with hazards and where items go. Ask what the price includes, whether it can start with a photo walkthrough and what happens if the work runs long.

Who pays for an estate cleanout?

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.

Can a cleanout be done while the family lives far away?
