Clearing out a home or a renovation

These are general tips for residents clearing a flat or a building site. Sort rubble, furniture and general rubbish before the truck arrives. Ask what size of load one pickup covers. Check whether paint, batteries or chemicals need separate disposal. Agree with neighbours where bags or rubble can wait on the street.
