Separate ordinary household items from chemicals, fuels, batteries, and unidentified containers before removal day.
Create a safe first pass
Open a clear walkway from the garage door to the back wall. Do not move leaking or unstable containers just to improve a photo. Keep children and pets away.
Pull out special-disposal items
Set aside paint, fuel, automotive fluids, pesticides, propane cylinders, batteries, fluorescent lamps, and containers with unknown contents. Check current Lee County guidance.
Group by decision, not material
Use keep, remove, and undecided zones. This reduces last-minute questions and keeps usable tools or family property out of the removal pile.
Finish the access plan
Move vehicles out of the loading route, confirm community work hours, and identify shelves or equipment that require disassembly. Leave attached fixtures in place unless included.

Confirm the service details
Use the Apartment Trash Removal service page to review scope and access questions. Then call with the address, inventory, building rules, and target date. A submitted description or phone conversation is not an appointment until the provider confirms it.
