Describe the access
Say whether you have permanent stairs, pull-down stairs or a ceiling hatch. Measure the opening and mention low rooflines or narrow landings.
Stop at suspect material
Do not disturb unknown insulation, damaged material, droppings, mold or exposed wiring. Those conditions may need assessment before a cleanout crew enters.
Bring down only what is safe
Small, closed boxes and light bins are easier to control. Large furniture that cannot fit the opening needs a different plan, not force.
Plan for temperature
Attics can become dangerously hot. Cooler appointment windows and good lighting make inspection and removal safer.
