List exact quantities, dimensions, material, condition, and location within the property. Include pieces that require disassembly.
Write these details into the request rather than keeping them as service-day assumptions. Haul-away and local delivery require clear scope, responsible routing, and an accurate record of what should happen at completion.
Prepare items and access
Empty drawers and cabinets, remove personal belongings, clear hallways, reserve elevators, and identify parking.
Photos, measurements, and a reachable contact make this checkpoint easier to verify before anyone travels.
Choose the intended destination
Donation, recycling, disposal, and customer-directed drop-off have different acceptance rules and possible third-party fees.
If the condition changes, update the plan early so vehicle, crew, timing, and handling can be reviewed.
Prevent accidental removal
Label items that stay and keep valuable, personal, or building-owned property away from the removal area.
The goal is a route that protects the item, the property, and the people completing the work.
Review completion
Confirm that the approved items were removed and retain any receipt or destination documentation supplied.
Finish this step before checkout whenever possible and keep the supporting information available on service day.
Frequently asked questions
Can damaged furniture be donated?
Acceptance depends on the receiving organization; verify condition rules before planning a donation trip.
Does haul-away include cleaning the room?
Do not assume cleaning is included; review the selected service scope.
What if I add items on service day?
Additional items can change vehicle space, time, destination, and price and must be reviewed.
