Quick answers

Who can approve clearing out a loved one's house?

The person with legal authority over the estate should sign off before anything leaves. The state's small estate affidavit, one route for collecting furniture and other personal property, requires an estate under $100,000 with no real property and at least 30 days since the death; larger estates may need probate.

What should we do with leftover medications?

Take them to a drug take-back location or mail them in a prepaid mail-back envelope; FDA calls a take-back program the best way to dispose of most unused medicines. Medications stay out of the haul-away load.

What happens to furniture that still has life?

Usable pieces are pulled aside for donation before the landfill run. Reuse stores want new and gently used furniture and building supplies, but they never take broken items, clothing or mattresses, so those go with the haul.

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

  • Clears furniture, beds, appliances, boxes and household goods room by room once the family has taken what it wants
  • Sets aside papers, photos, cash, keys and anything that looks personal for the family instead of tossing it
  • Routes usable furniture and building materials to donation and the rest to the landfill

How it works

  1. A walk-through with the person handling the estate to mark what stays, what is donated and what goes
  2. Medications and hazardous products such as paint, chemicals and propane are set aside for take-back or a household hazardous waste drop-off
  3. Room-by-room clear-out with a box for any personal papers or valuables found, then a sweep of each emptied room
  4. Referred out: disconnecting gas ranges, dryers or hardwired appliances goes to a licensed trade, and pianos, safes and hot tubs go to a specialty mover

When to stop and call

If the family has not agreed who is in charge of the estate or what can go, 24/7 Express Handyman Service waits for that decision before anything leaves the house.

What happens next

  • The written scope and price come first; disposal is billed at cost from the landfill or transfer-station receipt, and only the person with authority over the estate approves what leaves.
  • Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.

By zone

  • Zone A

    Salt Lake City & Millcreek

    Estate loads from Salt Lake County go to the Salt Lake Valley Landfill at a $17 flat rate per pickup or $36 per ton for larger loads. The Habitat ReStore at 1276 South 500 West takes building materials, furniture and appliances, working or not.

  • Zone B

    Park City & Summit County

    The Habitat ReStore at 6280 Silver Creek Drive offers standard donation pickups regularly in 84098 and 84060 and takes gently used furniture. What it can't use goes to Summit County's landfill, where loads are charged by weight except for mattresses, Freon-containing units and reuse items.

  • Zone C

    Heber Valley & Wasatch County

    The Summit and Wasatch Habitat ReStore offers priority pickups throughout Wasatch County for a fee. Wasatch County's transfer station charges $56 per ton with a $20 secured-load minimum, and the nearby Summit County landfill requires proof of residency, so Wasatch loads stay in Heber.

Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
