Let us help you on the path to peace through creating more order in your home or office.
The key to having an ordered home or work environment is to discern the difference between what has value and what does not. Anything you have, over and above what you use, contributes to a sense of fatigue and numbing. When you have a place for everything, and everything is in its place, your environment unleashes a feeling of peace, inspiration and satisfaction. We can help you achieve that.
How We Work
Full Circle Clutter Clearing is a small group of people led by Llyn Peabody (who has over fifteen years experience). Here's how we operate:
Initial Visit: One of us will come to your home to meet with you and see what kind of help you need. From this visit we will be able to estimate how long the job will take. Initial consultation: $30 to cover our time and transportation.
Our favorite way of working (and the most economical for you) is for you to give us a budget for the project. We can then tell you how much of an area we can accomplish, for that amount of money. We won't be keeping track of our hours but simply work until the job is done.
We can also simply work for an hourly rate. Typically we get $15/hour if one person is working and $25/hour for a team of two.
How we work: Typically, we do a "pre-sort" dividing your things into broad categories such as: tools, household/kitchen/clothes etc. Periodically you will sort through the piles to determine what you wish to keep, or let go of. We also will set aside those things which we assume are trash or recycling. You will have time to review these piles before they're removed from the premises. Our time-estimates will be based on you letting us do this pre-sort without your help--unless we call you in to review the piles. Otherwise it takes us too long if you stand looking over our backs, telling us stories of each object, it's history and emotional meaning for you.
Dump runs etc: If you wish, our fees/time will include getting rid of the things you no longer want, taking them to the Transfer Station, recycling them or donating them to a second-hand store. You will need to cover the actual cost of dumping fees.
Partial trades: If you have things that are of value to us: building/gardening materials, tools etc, we may count these as partial trade for our services.
After the initial sorting: We can help you organize the items that you wish to keep; to create systems, build shelves and cubbies etc. You will need to be involved with this process at a closer level so you know where things are being stored.

Clutter-Clearing and Organizing for Your Home
We can help you create a home that is organized, peaceful and supports you in what you're committed to. We have over ten years experience in helping people in a gentle, conscious way to bring order and ease into their lives.
Do you have a hard time letting go of things because:
A) I might need it someday. What if I get rid of it and then I need it?
B) It was a gift. Even though I don't like it or use it, I'm afraid it would be rude to get rid of it.
C) It's a project I really should finish. I'm just keeping it out so I'll be reminded to finish it.
D) I don't have anywhere to put it.
These are common stumbling blocks that many people face as they begin to de-clutter their lives. We can help you make these decisions in a painless way, so you feel good about the choices you're making.
Most of our clients find that 20-30 percent of their clutter is 'low-hanging fruit'--easy-to-make choices of things that they know have no real value to them. We can help you prioritize and discern what is important to you so it is easy to decide what to keep and what to release.
We will find homes for those things that are no longer relevant or bringing you joy, so someone else can enjoy them.
Finally, we can organize cupboards, closets and other storage areas so that the things that are important for you to keep are easy to access but out of the way of your daily life.
Give yourself the gift of order and peace in your home. Re-access the creativity and enthusiasm for projects that lies buried under piles of clutter.
