So, as I was talking with my insurance guy the other day about coverage, I need the liability to do cleanouts and to hand out business cards, etc. So, I've been wanting to do cleanouts but didn't know where to start. Well, his parents own a storage unit and as we were talking about what I do for a living he asked me all kinds of questions, etc. Then, he said his parents own a storage unit near my parents and he helps on weekends and would I be interested in emptying out the units they move stuff to from people that dont pay and walk away. Of course I would I say! So he said he will mention it to his parents (keeping fingers crossed).

So, IF that pans out I could use them as a reference. But my question is this for fellow members here that advertise to do this - what do you say in your ads and how much do you charge?



When you do a clean out, are you also cleaning out non metal stuff like clothing and furniture to the curbs/renting dumpster etc and then as part of the deal you get any scrap left?

My fear is if I do a house cleanout there may be only some pots and pans left over for scrap lol. I was thinking around $150.00 plus expenses (dumpster, whatever)

Does that seem reasonable?

Thank you for any advice as this is a big step for me now that I am insured and feel more confident to ''step it up!!!!!''

Any advice would help with how I'd word any contracts and what I need to know about renting dumpsters and start getting prices for those kinds of things. Oh, and when you do these, do you get paid up front or when you are finished and the owner / renter does a final walk through?

I'm so excited!
