HOARDING
Hoarding presents a unique challenge that we may not always be able to help with. We reserve the right to decline a hoarding project. If TLC Estate Services decides to take this kind of job, then services will include dumpster rental, a minimum of $200.00 labor fee and, if needed, bringing in an outside company to facilitate hazardous and biological cleanup.
Our general definition of hoarding is not limited to: Acquiring and failing to throw out a large number of items that would appear to have little or no value to others (e.g. papers, notes, flyers, newspapers, clothes, etc.) causing severe cluttering of the person’s home that it is no longer able to function as a viable living space. Another form of hoarding would be an amount of items being stored that if unpacked would cause the home to no longer function as a viable living space.
- DUMPSTER RENTAL —– Add $250.00
- LABOR —– Add $200.00
- PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) Add $90.00
