How do I find someone to help me with this clutter chore?

Asked by Jeruba (56031points) December 14th, 2023

I have an overstuffed house. I’ve got to get rid of stuff. I need to figure out what sort of person to hire and how to find them.

I’ve talked to decluttering specialists. They charge a fortune and they don’t actually help. Instead they’re apt to say things like “First you have to decide what to keep and what to throw away…” Thanks, pal.

I was wondering if I might do best with, say, a high school kid, or somebody from the local Goodwill, to be my arms and legs while I say things like “Put that whole box in the outgoing pile” and “Spread those out on the table so I can see them.”

This could take a lot of time. I can’t pay a fortune.

Bad idea? Other approaches? Pitfalls, cautions? Let me have ‘em.
