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.

It carries real hazards, such as unstable piles, sharp objects, droppings and mold. Crews use protective gear and follow worker safety rules, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, if blood or sharps are found.

Cleanout then becomes a shared project. The resident decides what is kept, the pace is set together and nothing is hauled without agreement. Support from a doctor, counselor or local group can help the progress last.
