Say Goodbye To Unwanted Junk

Junk Jaws clears out everything Chicago homes and businesses are ready to be rid of — old furniture, dead appliances, renovation debris, and the slow pile-up in the garage, basement, or attic. Most people find us at a turning point: a move, a remodel, a downsizing, or an estate that needs emptying. Whatever the reason, one crew handles the whole job, from the heavy lifting and stair-hauling to the loading, the sweep-up, and responsible disposal. We donate and recycle what we can, price by the space your load actually fills instead of by guesswork, and can frequently be out the same or next day.

What We Haul Away

From a single couch to a garage packed to the door, here are the items our Chicago crews load and haul away every day.

How It Works

Tell Us What You've Got

Call, text, or book online and describe the pile — a few items or a full house. You'll get a free, no-obligation estimate based on how much room it'll take in our truck.

Pick Your Window

Lock in a day and time that works, with same-day or next-day slots when we have them. We confirm before we roll out, so you're never stuck waiting around.

We Load It and Tidy Up

Our crew shows up on time, does every bit of the lifting and hauling, sweeps the space once the truck is loaded, and takes it all off to be donated, recycled, or disposed of properly.

We're The Right Choice

Chicago has no shortage of haulers, so here's why neighbors keep calling us. We're family-owned and local — not a national franchise — which means the company quoting your job is the same one finishing it. Pricing is honest and up front, with nothing surprise-added when the truck is full. And we take the disposal side seriously: usable furniture and goods go to local charities, recyclables get pulled out, and only what's truly spent ends up at the landfill. Dependable, respectful, and genuinely easy to schedule — that's the whole pitch.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What kind of junk does Junk Jaws remove in Chicago?
Just about anything that isn't hazardous. We haul away furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronics, exercise equipment, yard waste, construction and renovation debris, garage and basement clutter, and the full contents of homes, apartments, and offices. If you're not sure whether we take something, just ask when you book.
Do you remove appliances, electronics, and mattresses too?
Yes. Along with general clutter, we regularly remove refrigerators, washers and dryers, stoves, TVs and electronics, and old mattresses and box springs. We recycle whatever we can so these items stay out of the landfill.
Can you handle big jobs like a whole-house, garage, or estate cleanout?
Absolutely. We take on everything from a single item to a full property cleanout, including garages, basements, attics, storage units, and estate or eviction cleanouts. For larger jobs, we'll bring the crew and truck space to clear it all in one visit whenever possible.
How does junk removal pricing work in Chicago?
Pricing is based on volume — how much space your items take up in our 18-cubic-yard trucks — so you only pay for the room you actually use. Labor, loading, and disposal are all included, with no hidden fees. You can see how it works on our pricing guide.
Do you offer same-day or next-day junk removal in the Chicago area?
We often can. Same-day and next-day appointments are frequently available depending on the crew's schedule, so reaching out early gives you the best chance of a fast pickup.
Do I need to move the junk outside or carry it down first?
No. Our team does all the heavy lifting and removes items right from where they sit, including basements, attics, and second- or third-floor walk-ups. Just point to what needs to go and we'll carry it out.
What happens to the junk after you pick it up?
We donate usable items to local charities whenever we can, and anything that can't be reused is recycled or responsibly disposed of at licensed facilities. Keeping good items out of the landfill and giving back to the Chicago community is part of how we work.
Do you recycle metal, glass, and electronics?
Yes. Metal, glass, and electronics are separated out and routed to recyclers rather than the landfill whenever the material and its condition allow it. Only what's genuinely spent goes to a licensed disposal facility.
Do you serve businesses and property managers?
Yes. We handle commercial junk removal, office cleanouts, tenant eviction and foreclosure cleanouts, and recurring hauls for landlords and property managers throughout Chicagoland.
Are there any items you won't take?
We take almost everything, but we can't haul hazardous materials such as chemicals, asbestos, or flammable substances. We also don't accept drop-offs — our service is full pickup, loading, and disposal, so we come to you. If you're unsure about a specific item, just ask when you book.
