Ordering Skip Bins for Hoarder Clean-Up

Before you order, here are some key points to ordering the skip bins for hoarder clean-up.

Survey the Property

Surveying the property is the first step you will take before ordering skip bins. This survey is vital to understanding the amount and type of rubbish on the property. Keep in mind, hoarders may use one room of a home or all areas of the property including the outbuildings. This means sheds, garages, basements and attics may contain hoarding rubbish needing removal.

You can often handle a survey of the property on your own. If you are unsure of how to handle the survey, you can hire someone skilled in dealing with hoarders. Services exist that offer one-on-one hoarding help. These services deal with the issues relating to hoarding and proper rubbish removal. These services act as a consulting option for you during the process.

Consider Hazardous Waste

Hoarders can keep many items in their homes ranging from food to items of clothing. Some of these items may become hazardous. Considering other hazardous items, such as asbestos tile, is part of this step. You will need to make sure these items are not located in the home. Most hazardous waste will fall under the category of biohazards. This includes items like rotting food or chemicals.

In kitchen areas, look for food waste and other items that are rotting. This may mean sealing off appliances such as a refrigerator, ovens and chest freezers to keep rotting items enclosed. If these items are exposed to the air, they can cause damage to your lungs and health.

Household chemicals, such as ammonia, may also cause issues for your health. This is especially true in hoarding areas where little to no air ventilation exists. This means you must take steps before starting the full removal process to keep these items secure. Once they are secure, and the bins are ordered, you can remove the items as a whole and sealed to maintain safety throughout the process.

If you have a survey of the home and the hoarded items, the professional you use can look for the hazardous waste. The safe removal of hazardous waste often consists of biohazard suits and bins. These special items protect your body and property.
