Begin with what is known.

List every room and outdoor area in scope. Name the person who can approve removal and protect anything that must stay before work begins.

List the spaces and item groups involved, then mark what must stay. Keep medication, documents, keys, cash, jewelry, photographs, and family keepsakes separate. If several people share decision authority, settle who can approve removal before work begins.

What may need separate guidance

Identify paint, fuel, chemicals, batteries, sharps, compressed cylinders, medication, biological material, mold, pests, and unknown containers. Do not place them into an ordinary removal pile.
