What to flag before anyone arrives
Haul-away does not replace legal, appraisal, hazardous-material, remediation, or document-destruction services. Confirm authority over the property and remove sensitive records before the crew begins.

Questions about estate cleanouts
What should be removed before the estimate?
Pull out legal and financial papers, keys, medication, jewelry, cash, photographs, firearms, and items family members still need to review.
Can the basement and garage be included?
They can be included in the scope when access and contents are reviewed. List each space so the estimate reflects the whole job.
Do you guarantee items will be donated?
No. Usable items may be separated for donation or recycling when an appropriate outlet accepts them, but acceptance and final destination cannot be guaranteed.
