Usable goods go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, broken or unsafe items go to disposal, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
Not always. If access can be arranged, the owner or a family member does not have to stay on site. Clear instructions about what to keep and a way to reach someone help the job go smoothly.
Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. A cleanout team does not diagnose anyone and treats every home and every person with respect.
