Decluttering

TOO MANY PILES?

DRAWERS & CLOSETS
OVER-FLOWING?

DECLUTTERING WITH PICKLE'S PICK-UPS BRINGS ORDER TO CHAOS!

How to Start:
Guess what? You've already started. Great job!

Pickle's Pick-Ups understands that these types of projects may feel overwhelming. You look around your space and can't imagine where to start. The piles feel endless. You know you need to make a change. We can help!

Don't worry - we've seen it all! From boxes that haven't been opened for 40 years, to storage units full of plastic bags, to boxes of childhood memories, to expired food, animal droppings, attics with spiders, and even a garage door that could only be opened with a winch.

What to Expect:
Request video consultation to discuss the project and have your questions answered. Ideally, this call allows staff a first look at the area of focus in order to provide a written estimate. (No need to be shy - we've seen it all before!)

On day of booking, you will be expected to remain on-site during our work and are welcome but not required to assist with labor. (Of course, more hands reduces overall time and money spent.)

Staff will meet you at pre-determined address, review your priority areas, and make suggestions on how to begin. Before work is started, you must review and sign estimate and provide full payment (minus $300 pre-paid deposit).

Staff will respect all of your decisions about items to keep, donate or throw away. Our promise: Nothing will ever be removed from the space without your permission.

Staff will take "before" and "after" pictures of work completed. Photos will never include identifying information about you or your space.

Requirements you agree to prior to booking:
Staff will have access to working toilet, toilet paper and running water.
Weapons, illicit substances, family heirlooms, and other precious possessions will be securely stored prior to staff arrival, and will remain stored while staff on-site.

Also, we love animals but will need them in a separate area during project.

Lastly, prior to booking, you will required to provide valid identification and proof of address for location of project. These can be provided during video call. Once those items are confirmed, scheduling may be finalized with a $300 non-refundable down-payment (credited toward final payment on day of project).
