Questions to settle before pickup
Do I need to move everything to the curb?
No curb requirement is stated in the supplied business information. Describe where the items are so interior access, stairs, and carrying distance can be assessed.
What should I set aside?
Keys, records, medication, photographs, valuables, keepsakes, and any item still awaiting a decision should be outside the removal zone.
Are hazardous materials included?
No. Manatee County provides separate guidance for household hazardous waste. Identify paint, fuel, chemicals, propane, batteries, and similar material before the job is quoted.
Make the remaining load clear.
Send the inventory, access details, and deadline for review.
