Start with documents and valuables
Before anything is loaded, walk the house for paperwork, photographs, jewelry and anything with sentimental weight. Once it is in the container it is gone.
Sort into four piles
Keep, donate, sell and discard. Working room by room with four destinations is far faster than deciding item by item.
Size the container honestly
A furnished three bedroom house typically needs a 20 to 30 yard container, and often more than one.
Give yourself time
Cleanouts are emotionally slow. A longer rental window costs less than the stress of a same-week deadline.
