Yes. Cleanouts are often scheduled before a listing, an inspection, a closing or a new tenant. Tell the team about the date early so the plan can fit it.

What happens to the items that are removed?

Usable goods go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, broken or unsafe items go to disposal, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
