Hi! So I actually emptied, organised the contents of, defrosted and cleaned out three chest freezers not one. But I didn’t take that many action pictures, so I’ll only put the pictures for the first one. I used a half vinegar, half water and lemon juice cleaner I had just made to clean the freezer; and elbow grease, a spatula and a blow dryer to defrost two of them, (just elbow grease and various tools for the third one). I was able to organise the contents to fit in just two of the freezers, so one will be unplugged and stored away in our storage barn.
Most of the waste went into the compost, some to the chickens, the uncleaned berries went into the bird feeder and broken plastic went into the trash.
