Junk Removal in Chicago
From the lakefront towers to the North Side 3-flats to the Bungalow Belt — flat photo-quoted pricing, vetted local crews, and the walk-up, rear-alley, and basement hauls Chicago actually needs. No Illinois sales tax on the service. City & inner suburbs. Español, polski & 中文 on request.
Chicago is a city of vintage 3-flats, courtyard walk-ups, and brick bungalows, and getting junk out of them is all about stairs and alleys: the couch down three flights of a Lakeview walk-up, the haul out the rear porch and down to the detached alley garage, the bungalow basement full of decades of storage. We're built for all of it, and we fold the whole carry into one flat number quoted from a photo — no per-flight stair fee, no "oversized" upcharge, no day-of surprises. Within a few El stops the city changes character entirely: downtown high-rise lofts in River North and Streeterville (COI and freight elevator), the lakefront Gold Coast mansions and towers, the dense North Side renter turnover, the Spanish-speaking family homes of Pilsen and Little Village, and the Polish Bungalow Belt of Portage Park and Jefferson Park.
Two Chicago realities shape every job. First, winter: snowed-in alleys and icy back stairs make access the hard part for half the year, and we plan for it. Second, the tax: junk removal is a service, and Illinois doesn't tax services — so there's no sales tax on the removal, and your total comes out lower than the same sticker would in New York. We also offer Spanish-, Polish-, and Chinese-friendly service on request.
Flat rates, photo-quoted before anyone shows up. The labor, the stair-carry, and the disposal are already in it — and there's no sales tax on the service.

Customer Reviews

Flat-rate, photo-quoted before the truck rolls. Sofa $126, queen mattress $103, refrigerator $164, washer $133. $75 minimum. And because junk removal is a service, there is no Illinois sales tax on it — your total is lower than the same sticker would be in New York. Disposal included.
Yes — that's most of what we do in Chicago. Vintage 3-flat and courtyard walk-up stairs, the rear-porch-and-alley carry, and the detached-garage load are all folded into the flat quote. No per-flight stair fee.
Constantly — the brick bungalows of Portage Park, Jefferson Park, and the Northwest and Southwest Sides have full basements and detached alley garages. We clear decades of storage, old appliances, and spring water-damage debris, priced as truck-fill.
Yes — River North, Streeterville, Gold Coast, West Loop, and South Loop towers usually require a Certificate of Insurance naming the association and management plus a reserved freight-elevator and loading-dock window. We handle the paperwork and book the elevator with the building.
