Hoarder clearance in Vincennes
Ten bags prepared inside a flat are not ten bags for the building’s bin store. During a hoarder clearance, items leaving the home are sorted, contained and moved along a planned route without being deposited with the building’s ordinary refuse or left between trips in shared spaces.
In Vincennes, the volume to remove affects containers, carrying and the number of journeys to the vehicle. The building’s bin store, courtyard and corridors are not used as intermediate storage, while bulky items and other materials follow the appropriate waste stream.
- Sort items inside the private home before they enter communal areas.
- Keep the building’s ordinary bin store outside the clearance circuit.
- Move loads without leaving them in corridors or the courtyard between trips.
- Direct bulky items and other sorted materials to suitable waste streams.
Move the volume without transferring it to shared areas
Sort before moving
- Identify items authorised for removal inside the flat.
- Separate materials according to the waste stream they require.
- Prepare loads before they reach the front door.
- Keep sorting activity away from landings and corridors.
Keep the route clear
- Move closed or contained loads through the planned route.
- Do not leave bags or bulky items waiting on a landing.
- Keep courtyards available for their normal building use.
- Take each load towards its planned destination rather than the bin store.
Adjust to the volume found
- Start from the volume visible before sorting begins.
- Reassess the load as retained and removed items are separated.
- Adapt container use to the material actually leaving the home.
- Adjust the number of trips when the sorted volume differs from the initial assessment.
In Vincennes, clearance volume stays outside the bin store
In Centre-ville, Les Vignerons, Saint-Louis / Bérault, Daumesnil and Diderot / Domaine du Bois, housing is very predominantly in apartment buildings. A clearance therefore often involves carrying sorted loads through shared circulation areas before they reach the vehicle. Those spaces remain a route, not an extension of the flat or a place to accumulate outgoing items.
The real volume is not fully established until sorting has started. Some objects remain in the home, while others may occupy more carrying volume than their position initially suggested. That can change the number of trips required, but it does not turn the building’s bin store, courtyard or corridors into temporary storage.
Organising a hoarder clearance from sorting to removal
Authority
Items are included for removal only within the decisions already agreed with the person entitled to make them.
Sorting
Possessions and materials are separated inside the private home before anything enters the communal route.
Containment
Suitable bags or containers are prepared according to the nature and handling requirements of what is leaving.
Route
Loads travel from the flat to the exit without being deposited on landings, in corridors or in the courtyard.
Removal
Sorted materials leave the building for the waste stream appropriate to their nature rather than being transferred to ordinary communal bins.
Adjustment
The number of movements is revised when sorting reveals a different outgoing volume from the one initially visible.
What shapes the removal volume and its route
- The items authorised to leave the home.
- The items retained after sorting.
- The actual volume revealed as sorting progresses.
- The types of material requiring separate waste streams.
- The size and handling of bulky items.
- The route between the flat and the building exit.
- The carrying conditions through stairs or the lift.
- The number of trips required by the sorted outgoing volume.
A visible accumulation does not provide a final removal volume. Sorting distinguishes what stays from what leaves and separates outgoing materials according to their nature. The resulting volume determines the movements required without shifting the clearance into the building’s ordinary refuse facilities.

Questions about hoarder clearance in Vincennes
Can clearance waste be put in the building’s bin store?
The building’s ordinary bin store is not used to absorb a hoarder clearance. Items leaving the flat are sorted according to their nature and directed to suitable waste streams. This keeps the clearance separate from the building’s normal refuse circuit.
Can bags wait on the landing between trips?
No. Loads are prepared inside the private home before they enter communal areas. Landings and corridors remain circulation spaces rather than temporary storage areas.
Can bulky items be left in the courtyard before removal?
The courtyard is not used as an intermediate holding area for clearance items. Bulky objects are moved when their route onwards has been organised. This avoids transferring the contents of the flat into a shared part of the building.
How are bulky items handled?
Their dimensions, handling requirements and material are considered before movement through the building. They are directed to an appropriate waste stream rather than placed with ordinary communal refuse. The route must also be compatible with the stairs, lift and doors involved.
Is the removal volume known before sorting?
Not completely. The visible accumulation provides information, but sorting establishes which items actually stay and which leave. The outgoing volume can therefore change once that work has begun.
What happens if the sorted volume is larger than first expected?
The organisation of the removal is adjusted to the volume actually identified. This can change the number of trips needed between the flat and the vehicle. Items are still kept out of communal storage areas between those movements.
Why separate different waste streams?
The nature of what leaves determines how it should be handled after removal from the home. Bulky items and other materials do not all belong in the same circuit. Sorting them inside the flat also avoids having to reorganise outgoing items in communal areas.
