Points to note when asking a contractor to sort out relics and clean up the house

●When you ask the relics sorting company to sort and clean up the relics, unusual items that usually require disposal are generated. When paying for it and disposing of it, be sure to make sure that the company that organizes the relics has a license for the "general waste collection and transportation business".
●If the relics contractor does not have a "general waste collection and transportation business" license, ask the "general waste collection and transportation business licenser" to dispose of the waste.
