A calm, step-by-step way to clear a whole home: sort, donate, recycle, discard and plan the container so the work moves smoothly.
Clearing a whole home is a big task, and a plan makes it manageable. Start by securing valuables and important papers, then walk each room and sort into keep, donate, recycle and discard. Schedule donations early, set a date for the container and decide who will help. A walk-in door container and a twenty or thirty-yard size are common for a full house.
Work room by room and finish each before moving on. Keep a separate place for items that need special disposal, like chemicals and batteries. Families in Nashville often find it helpful to take photos of sentimental items, ask a few relatives to sort together and give themselves permission to take breaks. When the sorting is done, the dumpster handles the rest, and we can extend the rental or swap the container if the work takes longer than planned.
