Marie Kondo, but more extreme.

This sounds like a super smart and sensible thing to do. My MIL went through a long battle with cancer but refused to do anything like this so after her death it was a huge scramble of what to do with all her stuff, and a lot of it frankly needlessly ended up at the dump.

Okay what’s Amy’s obsession with Sweden?

[procedurals]

Her brother lives there and his wife is Swedish.

Okay because I remember the show she did a few years ago in Sweden that went nowhere.

[procedurals]

Her brother was in that show! lol

why would someone with such an annoying voice narrate anything?

I was going to post on my NextDoor group about this. Like - how do you find a business or folks that handle stuff like this? I am trying to find someone that will just come in an donate everything but I’m limited in my pre-packing/organization.

Trash about 40%. Donate about 60%. My body will be off property but happily will add in a fee if deep cleaning can be organized as well.l, to take the pressure off landlord.

I know some individuals who work as organizers and resellers who offer to do work like this, but I agree that it should be more accessible as a service, like via a company or something.

I think part of the problem is that our 'stuff', itself, isn't very valuable - a lot of donation services were straight up saying "stop giving us things" during the pandemic when everyone was spring cleaning to stay sane. So the amount of time and $$$ it'd take for someone to actually sort through a whole house to find whats donate-able vs. trash... it adds up.

I respect all of that immensely. Not trying to NOT compensate appropriately. I’m honestly fine if everything I own is trashed but maybe the cleaner finds a Blu-ray they want? I want them to have it.

I’m moving my cat and all cat stuff out because she loves her things so I want them to always be with her. But, like, everything else? Throw away. Donate. Whatever is most convenient and not going to cause a hassle to anyone.

Are you in the us? If so, have you thought about asking social services? Social workers here can help set up people to come get stuff and/or a dumpster for trash. Here they do that for hoarders or people who are ill/injured/bedridden. Even if they cannot help you set it up, I bet they would know who to call about it.

If it comes down to it, post it online. If you don't care where the stuff goes, plenty of people will do that for money+whatever items they want to keep. I got randos from my town to haul off all my old roommate's stuff after he dipped on the rent.
