Responsible Disposal & Recycling

We're not just haulers. We're committed to keeping as much as possible out of Chicago-area landfills through a multi-tier disposition process.

Our Three-Tier Disposition Process

Every load we pick up goes through the same process before anything reaches a landfill:

♻️ Donate First

Furniture, appliances, clothing, and household goods in good usable condition are delivered to Chicago-area nonprofits, Goodwill stores, Habitat for Humanity ReStores, and community organizations. We assess every item before deciding it goes to disposal.

What qualifies: Furniture without major damage, functional appliances, clean clothing and textiles, kitchen goods.

🔩 Recycle When Possible

Metal, cardboard, electronics, and mattresses are routed to certified Illinois recyclers:

  • Metals: Scrap metal recyclers throughout the Chicago metro
  • Electronics (e-waste): Illinois Stewardship Alliance certified collectors
  • Mattresses: Mattress recycling facilities that break down springs, foam, and fabric
  • Cardboard and paper: Standard recycling stream

🗑️ Responsible Landfill Disposal (Last Resort)

Only what can't be donated or recycled goes to a licensed Illinois disposal facility. We use licensed transfer stations and never dump items illegally.

Our Impact in Numbers

80%+ of materials diverted from landfill annually
Hundreds of pounds of e-waste recycled per month
Chicago NPOs donation partners across the city

Hazardous Materials We Can't Accept

Some items require special disposal beyond what our standard service can provide. These include:

  • Paint (liquid or wet) - Chicago's HHCR program handles this
  • Household chemicals and solvents
  • Propane tanks (exchange at Home Depot or hardware stores)
  • Motor oil and automotive fluids (AutoZone and O'Reilly accept these)
  • Asbestos-containing materials
  • Medical sharps and biological waste

Not sure about your item? Call us at (773) 377-4148 and we'll advise on the right disposal path.
