Do you offer same-day junk removal in Uptown?

Yes - same-day service is available in Uptown most days of the week. We operate 7 days a week, 7AM-8PM. Call or text (773) 377-4148 before noon for the best chance at a same-day slot. Next-day is almost always available with no advance notice.

Do I need to be home during the pickup in Uptown?

Someone with access to the property needs to be available - that can be you, a building staff member, a property manager, or a representative you authorize. For curbside items already placed outside, you do not need to be present at all. The crew calls or texts 15-30 minutes before arriving so you always have a heads-up.

What items do you remove in Uptown?

Almost anything that fits in a truck: furniture (sofas, sectionals, bed frames, dressers, dining tables), mattresses, appliances (fridges, washers, dryers, stoves), TVs and electronics, boxes and household goods, office furniture, light renovation debris, and garage or storage items. If you're unsure about a specific piece, text a photo to (773) 377-4148 and we'll confirm.

Are you licensed and insured for work in Uptown buildings?

Yes. junkMOOvers operates under MOOvers Chicago Inc. with full general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We provide Certificates of Insurance free for any building that requires one - email info@junkmoovers.com with the certificate-holder name and address and we'll send it same-day.

Can you handle walk-up buildings or high-rise elevators in Uptown?

Both are standard for us. Walk-up stair carries include a small per-flight surcharge above the 2nd floor (+$15 per flight). For high-rises, we coordinate the freight elevator booking and loading dock window with your building. Our crew comes from a professional moving background, so building access, stair carries, and tight doorways are handled safely and efficiently.

What happens to my items after they are removed from Uptown?

Items follow one of three paths: donate (furniture and appliances in good condition go to local Chicago charity partners), recycle (metal, e-waste, mattress materials), or responsible disposal at a permitted Chicago-area transfer station. We aim to keep as much out of landfills as possible - typically 80%+ of what we haul is diverted from disposal.
