Construction Debris Removal Chicago
Construction Debris Removal in Chicago
The rehab is done and the pile is in the gangway. We load and haul it — plaster, lumber, tile, cabinets — at a flat photo-quoted $120 per cubic yard, concrete by the quarter-truck at $219, staged from the alley whenever the building allows. No public-way permit, no dumpster blocking the neighbors' garages.
Same-day construction debris removal in Chicago is often available — send photos of the pile and the flat price comes back in seconds.

The Alley Advantage
Chicago gave every block a service road — we use it:
- Truck stages off-street
- Pile exits the back
- No public-way permit
- Neighbors' garages clear
- Street stays clean
A bathroom demo's toilet, fiberglass tub, and interior door run $195 flat — send photos and we price the whole pile both ways.
Stairs and Basements Included
Debris up from a basement rec-room demo or down from a second-floor two-flat unit — the carry is the crew's and the per-yard price never moves for it.
Send photos of the pile — the flat price comes back in seconds, before anyone drives.

1
1. Send photos of the pile
We read the volume and materials from the photos and price it flat — per yard or per item, whichever is cheaper.
2
2. Pick a window
Same-day is often open. Tell us alley or front access, and flag plaster or masonry so the right truck comes.

3. We load and haul
Every carry, every stair, every snowy gangway is the crew's — you point at the pile and keep your weekend.
Debris We Remove in Chicago
Two-flat gut rehabs to condo refreshes — loaded by us, hauled the same trip.
Greystone & Two-Flat Demo
- Lath and plaster
- Old lumber and trim
- Doors and sash windows
- Wood flooring
The city's signature rehab material — heavy, dusty, priced honestly by volume.
Kitchens & Baths
- Cabinet rip-outs (full set $293)
- Countertops
- Toilets, tubs, and sinks
- Shower doors and stalls
A full kitchen's cabinets — every box, one price.
General Renovation
- Drywall
- Tile and flooring
- Bagged debris
- Fixtures and built-ins
Bagged or loose — contractor bags price at $41 each if that's how the crew left it.
Heavy Masonry
- Concrete and brick
- Foundation chunks
- Pavers and stone
Weight-priced by the quarter-truck at $219 — Chicago brick is heavier than it looks; say it's masonry up front.
The Chicago Debris Problem, Solved
A dumpster in Chicago means a public-way use permit, a blocked alley your neighbors depend on, and a container that fills with the whole block's junk before your demo day even ends.
So the debris leaves in one choreographed visit instead.
What We Handle
- Alley or front staging
- Every carry ours
- Basements & stairs included
- Plaster flagged & weighted
- Swept before we leave
- Winter service, always
Asbestos and lead-paint waste need licensed abatement first — pre-1978 Chicago stock, ask before you demo.
Contractors: Send the Pile
End-of-job sweeps and mid-project hauls priced flat from photos — the client's alley stays passable and the block stays friendly.
High-Rise Renos Too
Loop and lakefront condo renovations run on COIs and freight-elevator windows — both arranged same-day, debris carted through the service corridor.

We Do the Loading
Every lift, stair, and gangway carry — the part a dumpster never includes.

Staged off-street the way this city was designed to work.

No public-way permit, no blocked garages, no overnight fill-up.
Same-Day When Open
Book by mid-afternoon and the pile is gone tonight — season regardless.
Responsible Disposal

How to Get Rid of Construction Debris in Chicago
Four routes, honestly compared — the alley politics kill most of them.
Hire JunkRabbit
Photos → flat per-yard price → crew loads from the alley and hauls the same visit. No container, no permit, no lifting.
Rent a Dumpster
Right for multi-month gut rehabs with private land to park it on — plus the public-way permit and the loading, which stay yours.
Self-Haul
Pickup loads work if you have the truck and the time — transfer-station fees run by weight, and plaster is heavier than it looks.
City Collection
Chicago's garbage service is for household refuse, not renovation debris — contractor waste follows different rules entirely.
Construction Debris FAQs
How much does construction debris removal cost in Chicago?
Mixed renovation debris prices at $120 per cubic yard, flat and photo-quoted. Tear-out items also price individually: drywall $37 per sheet or small bundle, lumber $41 per bundle, tile or flooring $33 per box, interior doors $41, toilets $64, a full kitchen cabinet rip-out $293. Concrete and masonry price by the quarter-truck at $219. Minimum job $75; loading, hauling, and disposal are all included.
Can you load from the alley?
That's the Chicago way — the pile goes out the back, the truck stages in the alley, and the street never knows a renovation happened. Where the building's access runs through the front instead, the crew carries from the unit; either way the price is the same.
Is this cheaper than a dumpster in Chicago?
For small and mid-size jobs, usually — a dumpster in the alley or street needs a public-way use permit, blocks your neighbors' garage access, and fills up with everyone else's junk overnight. We load everything in one visit and you pay only for the volume you actually fill.
Do you take plaster from greystone and two-flat renovations?
Yes — lath and plaster, old lumber, and trim from greystones, two-flats, and workers cottages are the classic Chicago demo. It's heavy material, so flag it as plaster in the photos; it prices honestly by volume with the weight considered.
What debris can you not take?
No hazardous materials: asbestos (common in older Chicago housing stock — testing and licensed abatement come first), lead paint waste, solvents, chemicals, or propane. If you are unsure about a material, send a photo before you book.
How fast can debris be picked up?
Same-day windows are often open when you book by mid-afternoon, year-round — a snowy alley slows the carry, not the schedule.
