How to Sort Through What’s Left After a Loved One Passes

Estate Cleanout Tips

While the passing of a loved one is a natural part of life, it still isn’t an easy thing to deal with. It can take a heavy toll on those who must step in to take care of belongings and handle estate cleanout. After treasured possessions are given to their new owners, and legalities are settled according to the deceased’s wishes, there are inevitably many odds and ends that need to be taken care of.

Unfortunately, there is always stuff left over that no one wants or knows what to do with. If you’re the one in charge of estate cleanout, here are some ideas for tackling this task.

Once valuable items such as legal papers, jewelry, antiques, and collectibles have been taken care of, you’ll need to start sorting. We suggest sorting what’s left into three categories: Family & Friends, Donate, and Discard.

Family & Friends

This pile is for things that you think someone in the family might want to keep. They could have monetary or sentimental value. These items should be claimed as soon as possible so that you can get down to sorting through the rest. If no one wants anything from this pile, set items aside for donation or put in a storage facility if you think it might have value or be needed in the future.

Donate

Furniture, gently-used clothing, and any other unwanted items that are still in good shape should be donated to appropriate facilities. While it’s pretty easy to carry a few bags of clothing to your local shelter, if you’ve got a houseful of donations, the task can quickly get too big – and too stressful – for an individual to handle. Hiring a professional, such as a junk removal company, will take the physical and mental burden off your shoulders as they can pick up the donations, load them into trucks or trailers, and deliver them to the best locations throughout your community.

Discard

Once you’ve given things to family & friends and donated others, you’re left with stuff that can truly be called junk. You know the things we mean: broken furniture, old clothing, newspapers and magazines, outdated or broken electronics, overflowing garden sheds. Dumpsters can get expensive and often aren’t big enough for large items such as furniture, appliances, yard equipment or spas to get rid of. Hauling it to a dump is too hard. Many items are not safe for dumping, and you don’t have the manpower or ability to get it there anyway.

Now is the time to turn again to a local junk removal specialist. Just like they take care of donation items, they can also remove unwanted debris. This may include:  appliances, furniture, yard waste, spas or hot tubs, mattresses, TV’s, and electronic waste. There really isn’t much that a junk removal service will not pick up, except for hazardous materials. In that case, contact your city’s waste department to find out about the nearest disposal facility.
