Are you in charge of cleaning out a deceased parent’s or relative’s estate?

This is a sensitive, emotionally wrought project that requires a lot of time, patience, and care. You’re in the throes of grief, feeling overwhelmed by everything that needs to get done. This is a painful project for everyone who’s ever lost a close loved one.

For that reason, seeking the help of an experienced junk hauling professional like D. Barry Rubbish Inc. will be extremely beneficial. Providing affordable dumpster rentals and full-service junk hauling, we’ll do everything we can to help you complete your estate cleanout efficiently and successfully. 

However, there are certain parts of the estate cleanout that we cannot do for you. So, to assist you in planning the next steps, here’s a brief breakdown of what you must do yourself and what we will do for you.

You Sort Through Possessions

First, locate the items that are definitely not junk. Set these important legal and financial documents aside in a safe, secure place:

  • Will
  • Credit card statements
  • Bills
  • Receipts
  • Titles
  • Deeds
  • Forms of ID

Next, have other family members, relatives, and close friends come to the house and collect important possessions and keepsakes. This is also when you will distribute items and assets according to what’s laid out in the will.

Once all of the assets and sentimental items have been collected, you may want to consider hosting an estate sale. If your loved one’s furniture, decorations, and other possessions are still in good condition, then you’ll likely be able to make a small amount of money to help you cover a portion of the funeral expenses. 

Meanwhile, local shelters, nursing homes, and/or assisted living facilities could likely use donations of the deceased’s lightly worn clothing.

We Dispose of Unwanted Junk

For anything you couldn’t sell or donate, you’ll need a disposal plan. This is where D. Barry Rubbish Inc. steps in.

You have two options:

  1. Rent a dumpster from us and load it up at your own pace. This allows you to take your time as you say goodbye to your loved one’s belongings.
  2. Have our crew handle the junk hauling and disposal for you. We’ll show up with our truck or roll-off dumpster, remove all of the unwanted items and bagged trash, and drive away. You won’t have to lift a finger, which can be a relief for many grieving folks in your position.

Either way, you can trust D. Barry Rubbish Inc. for honest, flat rates and speedy service. We’ll arrive right on schedule and work quickly to get the job done ASAP.
