A Compassionate, Organized Approach
Start with high-value paperwork and keepsakes, then work room by room. Take photos of heirlooms and document donations to simplify decisions and taxes.
Essential Steps
- Set a realistic schedule and notify family members
- Sort items into keep, donate, sell, and discard
- Secure important documents and valuables first
- Use a mid-size dumpster for bulky, non-donatable items
- Plan a final walkthrough before pickup
Dumpster Tips
A 15–20 yard container fits most estate projects. Keep donation items separate, and load heavy items first to distribute weight.
