Fall is a good time to make the spaces you use every day easier to live and work in. You might want a spare bedroom back, less clutter in the basement, a rental ready for its next occupant, or more usable storage at your business. Start with the area that would make the biggest difference for you.
Taking Out The Trash 712 helps with cleanouts throughout homes, rental properties, businesses, and outdoor areas across Siouxland. Use this checklist for one room, several spaces, or a whole property.
Which spaces are on your fall cleanup list?
- Living areas and spare roomsUnwanted furniture, unused belongings, and boxes taking up everyday living space.
- Basements and atticsStored items, old furniture, and accumulated clutter. Tell us about stairs, hatches, and other access details.
- Garages and shedsItems blocking parking, tools, storage, or the route through the space.
- Rental homes and property turnoversUnwanted items left in rooms, storage areas, and elsewhere on the property. Clearly identify what stays.
- Offices and commercial spacesUnwanted desks, chairs, shelving, and storage-room clutter. Include building access and pickup-time restrictions.
- Yards and outdoor areasYard debris, branches, unwanted outdoor furniture, and other items you want assessed for removal.
1. Choose the space you want back
Walk through your home, business, or property and list the areas you want cleared. Choose a useful goal for each: room for guests, accessible basement storage, an open office, or an empty rental. Take wide photos before you begin so the full job is easy to explain.
2. Make clear decisions about what stays
- Keep: tools, equipment, and belongings you still use.
- Give away or donate: usable items you want to pass along through an arrangement you make.
- Remove: unwanted items you want us to assess for hauling.
- Decide later: anything that needs another household member’s input.
Use labels or a clearly marked area for the items that stay. Check boxes for personal documents, keys, and keepsakes before placing them with the removal pile. For large items, a label or photo is enough to show your decision; you can leave the lifting for the agreed pickup.
3. Tell us about unusual materials
Mention paint, chemicals, fuel containers, batteries, tires, sharp items, or heavy construction material when you contact us. Send a photo and a description so we can confirm what we can take and discuss any handling or disposal arrangements before you book.
4. Photograph the items and the route
Take pictures of every area included in the pickup, from more than one angle. Include larger pieces on their own. Show us stairs, narrow doorways, attic access, elevators, a steep driveway, or parking restrictions that may affect the route to the truck.
If the project includes several rooms, a storage building, or yard debris, include them all in your photos and item list. Label each group by its location so we can discuss the full project together.
5. Request a quote before choosing a load size
Text your photos, pickup location, and preferred day and time to 712-204-4846. Room size alone does not tell us how much truck space the contents need. The amount, shape, weight, and access all help us understand your job, whether it is one room or a whole property.
Questions and quotes are free. We will confirm the price for the agreed scope before work begins. You can review the load-price guide while planning your budget.

6. Prepare for pickup day
- Keep the items that stay clearly marked in every room or area.
- Point out everything included in the pickup, including items elsewhere on the property.
- Let us know if your item list, building access, or parking arrangements have changed since the quote.
- Keep children and pets away from the loading area.
- Walk through the agreed spaces with us so we can confirm what needs to go.
