Usable items go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, damaged or unsafe items are disposed of correctly, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
What does a level one hoarder house look like?
Hoarding is often described in levels, and level one is the lightest. Clutter is present but exits and pathways are open, utilities work and rooms can still be used. Higher levels bring blocked rooms, sanitation problems and safety hazards.
