Simple, Upfront Junk Removal Pricing in Chicago

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.

We use two pricing models. Single-item pricing is a flat rate per item (couch, mattress, appliance, TV) - best for one or two pieces. Volume pricing charges for how much space your items take up in the truck, broken into eighths from 1/8 truck up to a full truck. Mixed loads - garage cleanouts, basements, apartments - get volume pricing. All prices include labor, hauling, and disposal/donation/recycling routing.

Yes. $79 minimum for curbside pickup (items already outside). $149 minimum for full-service (we come inside and get them). This covers the cost of dispatching a crew and truck to your Chicago address.

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.

Yes. Phone estimates, photo estimates, and on-site walkthrough estimates are all free, no obligation. You only pay if you approve the price and we do the work.

Basements are included for the first flight - additional flights below grade add $15 each. All surcharges are disclosed before any work begins.
