GOOD STEWARDS OF THE EARTH
At Estate Clear, with every job, our priority is Upcycling, Reusing, and Recycling as much as possible within any estate we are hired to clear out. This is opposed to our 1-800 competitors, where everything immediately ends up in a landfill. Moreover, it’s the key to how we can do your job for pennies on the dollar compared to our competitors. Estate Clear has worked very hard through the years to build a large network of trusted Craftspeople, Artisans, and Charities who are skilled at turning what most would consider trash, into reusable products. For this, we have become leaders in our industry by turning our good stewardship, into your good stewardship.
A great example of just how much can be upcycled and reused within an estate, would be the job we just completed here on November 15th. The house was a large old 5 bedroom, 3 story Victorian with a basement, and 1 car garage in St. Paul. Purchased by newlyweds for $20k in 1960, they raised 6 kids together in that house, as well as having their grandmother living with them in the late 1980’s.
Alas, their dad, a retired Postal Worker, passed away in June of 2019, being the last surviving occupant of the house. As per usual, the family rallied together to go through and reminisce over the 60 years of 9 people living in that house. Once they had taken all of their heirlooms, their next obvious step was to sell the house. The first step in that next step, is hiring us to COMPLETELY clear the home.
When we first walked through the door, the house was somewhat in disarray. A typical scenario, as the family rightfully went through every nook and cranny to go over the memories of their lives there. After we viewed the house and garage from top to bottom, we determined it was 3+ dumpster job. Understanding that we could EASILY donate 1+ dumpsters worth, the job was bid as a 2 dumpster disposal job (Dumpster = 30 cu yds). As we stalked room to room, we then determined that we could knock another $1000 off of our 2 dumpster price for items we could take and resell ourselves.
In the end approximately 60 cubic yards, 2 large dumpsters worth, were upcycled and reused of the 120 cubic yards that were actually there. Thats over half the estate that was saved from a landfill. That savings translated directly into dollars for our client, only costing them 1/3 of what our nearest competitor charges.
