[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 67707, member: 25"]This just dropped on me out of the blue due to a connection at the estate agents. (see posts passim.) Mostly people just advertise, and shmooze estate agents. I do not know the law in USA but some kind of waste transport/tipping license may be needed, and few places would be such a mixture of literal trash and treasure. Most houses that reach the total clearance stage will have had relatives picking over them, if they had anything worthwhile in the first place, and many if not most homes just have routine newish and recent or simply outdated contents. Everyone hopes for a Comstock Lode strike, but most of the time is is simply a matter of hauling away and legally disposing of stuff no-one wants. You do get paid to do this, but it's a competitive field with lots of overhead costs.[/QUOTE]
