Create separate lists for clear-out items and work debris
List movable household items that need to leave the work area before the visit. Then list material the proposed repair may remove, such as parts of a finish, fitting or building element. Identify items you want retained or moved elsewhere within the property rather than discarded.
Augusta's Bulk Waste Collection page describes large household items and excludes construction or demolition debris from that service. Use that distinction when asking about the actual materials. A household collection arrangement should not be assumed to cover the debris produced by the repair itself.
Agree when the space is clear and when the work debris leaves
Agree when the space must be clear enough for assessment or work, who will move the retained items and where they will go. Describe the access route and any temporary storage constraints. These preparation tasks may involve a different party from the person performing the repair.
For the after-work list, clarify who gathers, carries and hauls the removed material and how the area should be left. Update the arrangement if the scope changes. A two-part cleanup plan makes it possible to see whether a proposal covers preparation, final clearing or both, without relying on an undefined cleanup promise.

Project planning questions
Is repair debris the same as Augusta household bulk waste?
Augusta's published bulk-waste description excludes construction and demolition debris. Identify the actual material and confirm its route with the relevant service or hauler rather than assuming household bulk collection applies.
Why split the cleanup plan into before-work and after-work tasks?
The first list identifies what must be moved for the visit; the second identifies what the repair may produce. Assign a responsible party to each so neither preparation nor final removal is left implicit.

For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
