[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 167583, member: 22"]I advertise in the local rag,[B] Full Homes Cleared, Bereavement Service.Tel XXXXXXX [/B] The relatives usually call me after they have had their pickings or they are just overwhelmed with the whole thing. If the home is full of goodies and clean and fairly easy to clear I pay them. If it is dirty, full of junk as well as good stuff, I quote them a price which they usually agree to and I get the keys for a week. This particular clearance the family had removed some items of value and then began bagging stuff up for the tip but it became too big a job for them. Heavens knows what they have already dumped because we pulled out some good stuff from the filled bags they did not remove. This lady who passed away aged 90, hoarded everything. We have already tipped about 2 tons of junk and there is about another ton left to do. We have found plenty of stashed cash, more than we are being paid by the relatives , that is a just a bonus and a perk of the job. Found some more cash and a gold ring under the bed in the master bedroom today. One bedroom wardrobe was full of unopened mail order gadgets dating back 50 years. She was a OCD hoarder for sure.[/QUOTE]
