Sorting and Organising Before a Site Clearance

Preparing for a major clearance, whether it's for a house, office, or commercial space, requires effective sorting and organising. This preparation can significantly streamline the clearance process. Here's a guide from Taylors Skip Hire to help you sort and organise efficiently before undertaking a major clearance project.

Start with a Plan

Identify Areas for Clearance: Begin by listing down the areas that need clearing. Prioritise them based on urgency or size.
Set Clear Goals: Determine what you aim to achieve with the clearance - be it creating more space, decluttering, or complete refurbishment.

Categorising Items

Sort by Type: Divide items into categories such as furniture, electronics, paperwork, and personal belongings. Use labels or different rooms to segregate them.
Use a Colour-Coding System: Assign colours to different categories or disposal methods (e.g., red for keep, blue for recycle, green for rubbish removal).

Deciding What to Keep

Assess Each Item: For each item, ask yourself if it's needed, used, or holds sentimental value. Be honest and practical.
Create an Inventory: Keep a record of what you decide to keep, which can be useful for insurance purposes or future reorganisation.

Handling Documents and Personal Items

Secure Important Documents: Set aside and secure all important documents like birth certificates, legal papers, and sentimental items.
Shred Confidential Papers: Use a shredder for confidential papers or consider a professional shredding service.

Dealing with Unwanted Items

Donate or Sell: Consider donating items that are still in good condition to charity or selling them.
Recycle: Identify what can be recycled and check local recycling guidelines. Taylors Skip Hire's recycling services can assist with this.

Preparing for Clearance Day

Label Everything Clearly: Ensure that all items are clearly labelled according to your colour-coded system.
Arrange Items for Easy Access: Position items so they are easily accessible for the clearance team, ensuring a smooth removal process.

Hiring the Right Clearance Service

Choose Appropriate Services: Based on the volume and nature of items, choose between Taylors Skip Hire's skip hire or our full clearance services.

Safety and Health Considerations

Safety First: Ensure that pathways are clear to prevent accidents during clearance.
Health Precautions: If dealing with dusty or mouldy items, wear masks and gloves for protection.
