What happens to items that are removed?
Usable goods go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, soiled or unsafe items go to disposal, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
What health risks come from living in filth?
Spoiled food, waste, pests and mold can spread germs and trigger breathing trouble. They can also lead to falls and injuries. Anyone who feels unwell should see a doctor, and a cleanup lowers the risks in a clear order.
Does insurance cover squalor cleanup?
