Describe each pile where it is

Give each pile or stored group a location and describe the visible materials: for example, loose timber, bagged finish debris or cabinets awaiting collection. Use safe photographs to show the extent. Do not guess a precise weight or combine different locations into one vague load description when their carrying routes differ.

Flag unknowns before handling

Record unidentified containers, liquids, batteries, paint or suspect material as separate questions. Do not open containers or disturb material to identify it for the form. General debris removal does not imply acceptance of every waste stream. Ask what information is needed before handling or collection is agreed.

Separate the load from the loading task

State whether the request includes carrying from the room, loading from an agreed position and clean-up afterwards. Mark new materials, tools and retained items clearly outside the collection boundary. A pile photograph does not explain stairs, a shared corridor or an elevator booking, so describe the route in writing as well.

Make the collection inventory

Use the inventory to keep material acceptance and access questions attached to the right pile. The renovation debris page is the service starting point. Keep any requested disposal documentation in the agreed scope; do not assume a particular recycling destination or diversion outcome from the word 'removal'.

Collection inventory

Copy these headings into your own working document and complete the rows for your property. The prompts are not findings or approval of work.

Keep your completed record private. Bring the relevant scope questions into the optional project planner or discuss them directly with Clearpath.
