Junk Removal Pricing in Chicago

Two simple parts: a labor and truck fee, plus a flat junk fee for each item. You see the full price and approve it before we lift anything.

How We Price Junk Removal

Labor and truck fee From $450 Based on distance to your address
Junk fee per item $50 to $150 Flat fee by item size

The labor and truck fee covers a licensed crew, the truck, and the trip to your address. It starts at $450 and depends on distance. Stairs, long carries, and tricky building access can also affect it, and we tell you up front.

The junk fee is a flat price for each item, based on its size. It covers disposal, donation, and recycling. The only flat prices are per item. There is no flat price per truckload.

How does your pricing work?

Your price is the labor and truck fee (from $450, based on distance to your address) plus a flat junk fee per item by size: $50 small, $75 medium, $100 large, $150 extra-large. The item fees cover disposal, donation, and recycling routing. There is no flat price per truckload. Items outside these sizes and heavy materials like concrete or brick are quoted individually. You see and approve the full price before we start.

Is there a minimum charge?

Every job includes the labor and truck fee, which starts at $450 depending on distance. That covers sending a licensed crew and truck to your Chicago address. Item fees ($50 to $150 each) are added on top.

Can you give me a price over the phone or by text?

Yes - we give confident estimates over the phone or from photos texted to (773) 377-4148. For single items the photo quote is usually exact. For mixed loads and cleanouts, 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.

Are estimates free?

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.

Do you charge extra for stairs, walk-ups, or long carries?

Stairs, walk-ups, long carries, and tricky building access can affect the labor fee because they take the crew longer. We ask about access when you book and tell you the full price before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
