Junk Removal in Chicago by Professional Movers

Single-item curbside pickup in Chicago starts at $79 (mattress, single piece of furniture, small appliance). Full-service indoor removal starts at $149. For multi-item jobs we price by truck volume - a typical 1/4 truck runs $249, a half-truck $399, and a full truck $679. Most one-bedroom apartment cleanouts land between $479 and $679. The fastest way to get an accurate number is to text photos to (773) 377-4148 - we can usually quote within minutes during business hours.

Yes - we give confident estimates over the phone or from photos texted to (773) 377-4148. For single items, the phone quote is usually within $20 of the on-site price. For mixed loads and cleanouts, the photo quote gives a range; the exact final number is confirmed on site once the crew sees the access and the actual volume. We don't raise the price after work starts without telling you and getting your OK.

Curbside pickup ($79+) means you put the items outside - curb, alley, loading dock - and we load them. Lowest price option. Full-service removal ($149+) means the crew comes inside, carries items out, handles disassembly if needed, and sweeps the spot when done. Pick curbside if you can move the items yourself; pick full-service if they're upstairs, heavy, or you'd rather not deal with it. Same truck, same disposal, same day either way.

Someone with access to the property needs to let the crew in - that can be you, a building staff member, a property manager, or a representative you've authorized. You don't have to stay for the entire job; the crew can text you for any decisions and the final price confirmation. For curbside pickups, you don't need to be present at all as long as the items are accessible and we know what's going.

Almost anything that fits in a truck and isn't on the exclusion list below. Furniture (couches, dressers, tables, chairs, bed frames), mattresses, appliances (fridges, washers, dryers, dishwashers), electronics (TVs, computers, printers), household goods (boxes, bags, decor, rugs), yard equipment, light renovation debris, office furniture, retail fixtures. Whole apartments, garages, basements, attics, storage units, and offices. If you're unsure about something specific, text a photo to (773) 377-4148.

The legally-restricted short list: hazardous chemicals (paint, gasoline, motor oil, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals), propane tanks, asbestos or asbestos-containing materials, medical waste (sharps, prescription medication, blood-soaked items), firearms and ammunition, explosives and flares, human or animal waste, active infestation materials, and items subject to a probate hold. Chicago's Household Chemicals & Computer Recycling Facility on Goose Island accepts most household hazardous waste for free.
