Confirm ownership and protect keepsakes
After a sale, unsold belongings may still be reserved for heirs or the estate. Confirm who can authorize removal and check drawers, closets and storage areas for photographs, documents and valuables. Do not assume that an item is unwanted just because it did not sell.
Sort leftovers and plan the property handoff
Sort remaining items into keep, resale, donation, recycling and approved hauling groups. Contact donation organizations before dropping anything off because acceptance varies. Plan hauling before cleaning, staging or a property handoff. Photograph the full scope and note stairs, parking and heavy items for the onsite estimate.
Review the estate removal scope onsite
JunkPDX offers a free, no-obligation onsite estimate. Photos help with an initial range, but the final price depends on truck space, weight, access and any special handling. You approve the final price before loading begins. Same-day service depends on availability; the crew is closed Sundays.
