Treat the units as separate scopes
Identify units using the labels visible at the property and put the same labels on photographs and inventories. Furniture near the dividing line, shared laundry equipment, and stored maintenance supplies need explicit decisions. A cleanout for one unit should not silently include the other unit’s porch, garage bay, or belongings.
Confirm removal authority for each included area. An owner’s access to a shared driveway does not itself establish the status of belongings left by an occupant. Keep unresolved tenant or ownership decisions outside the list until the responsible property representative provides clear authorized instructions.
Map shared access and occupied areas
Photograph the driveway, front paths, gates, and any rear loading option. Describe which parking spaces and entrances must remain available. If the neighboring unit remains occupied, coordinate the route through the property contact and avoid staging items across an entrance or a shared pedestrian path.
Identify which doors open into the target unit and who will provide the correct key or code. Similar doors and repeated room layouts can create confusion. A simple unit map and a walkthrough with the access contact can prevent the crew from having to interpret boundaries while the scope is being assessed.
Make retained and shared items visible
Use written labels for shared yard tools, building fixtures, spare materials, and any furnishings that will stay. For a garage split between households, mark the physical boundary and photograph it. Do not direct removal with a broad phrase such as “everything behind the house” if the area contains mixed ownership.
Planning example: Unit A is vacant, Unit B is occupied, and both use one driveway. Approve Unit A’s labeled sofa and loose furniture, retain the shared mower, and arrange loading access through the manager. Record the neighbor’s entry route as an access constraint without adding their possessions to the appointment.
Close each scope with its own record
PNWJunkRemoval is a regional managed network operated by Solely Junk LLC. Current work is through JunkPDX after a Portland–Vancouver ZIP, address, and scope check. Volume, weight, access, and labor determine pricing, with the onsite price approved before loading. Review any second unit or additional area as an explicit scope change.
At completion, record which unit and areas were cleared and which items remain. Give the property contact separate notes where the units have different followup work. Ordinary nonhazardous hauling does not include resolving resident disputes, treating contamination, making repairs, or certifying the condition of either unit for occupancy.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Details worth settling early
Can both units be reviewed in one request?
Yes, describe them as separate inventories within the request. Each unit’s authority, contents, access, and onsite scope still need to be clearly confirmed.
What if the driveway serves both households?
Describe that constraint and coordinate loading with the property contact. Do not assume exclusive access or plan staging that blocks the other household’s required route.
Can the crew decide which garage items belong to which unit?
The authorized property contact should make those decisions beforehand. Use labels and a clear boundary; uncertain items remain outside the approved removal scope.
