Junk Removal FAQ for Chicago Homeowners

How often should Chicago homeowners get junk removal?
Given Chicago's arctic winters with wind chills below -20°f, most homeowners benefit from junk removal at least once a year. Ice dam formation on roofs (December–February) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Chicago most need junk removal?
Chicago-style greystones and brick two-flats and Victorian and Craftsman-style homes are the most common home types in Chicago and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
What items can you take?
We accept furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronics, yard waste, construction debris, clothing, boxes, and most household items. We cannot take hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, or asbestos.
How is junk removal priced?
Pricing is based on volume — how much space your items take up in the truck. A minimum load typically starts around $100–$150; a full truck runs $400–$600.
Do I need to be home during pickup?
You don't need to be present if items are accessible. Many customers leave gate codes and leave for work. We send before and after photos for your records.
What happens to my items?
We partner with local charities and recycling centers to donate and recycle as much as possible. Items that can't be donated or recycled are disposed of at licensed facilities.
