When junk piles up, it gets harder to ignore every week. Book LoadUp, see your total before you confirm, and get it hauled away from your Southwest Side place fast.
You search online, call 311 to ask about a pickup, request a few hauler quotes, and wait on callbacks that sometimes never come. Weeks later, the junk is still sitting in the basement, taking up space.
Chicago's city bulk pickup programs can take some large items off your hands for free, but you have to request a pickup and wait for a slot. Eligibility and accepted items are limited. Nobody comes down the basement stairs, so you still have to get everything to the pickup spot yourself.
Many haulers want to send someone out for an in-person estimate before giving you a number. Then the price depends on how much of the truck your load fills, and that's hard to guess ahead of time. A lot of people don't find out the real cost until the truck is already loaded.
Donation centers usually only take furniture and goods that are clean, working, and ready to sell again. A worn recliner, a cracked dresser, or a box of odds and ends from a garage often gets turned away, and you still have to find another place for whatever they won't take.
A rented dumpster can make sense for a full gut renovation. For one cleared-out room, it usually means checking whether you need a street permit, working around drop-off and pickup dates, and giving up parking space on a crowded block for days, all for a container that ends up half full.

Carrying an old sectional down a basement stairwell is hard enough, and then comes the Dan Ryan or the Stevenson at five o'clock. Your Loader does the lifting, loading, and haul-away, so you can skip the drive. Neighbors here work hard, and your Loaders like showing up for them.
Bulky items rarely leave a Southwest Side home easily, and where they end up matters. In New City, your Loader sorts each item by condition, so donation or recycling happens when local options allow and disposal covers the rest.
Furniture and household goods that are clean and in good shape may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader carries them out and checks their condition before anything is loaded.
Items that are worn or damaged but not ready for donation may be recycled where available, such as metal frames or wood pieces. Your Loader separates what can be diverted when possible.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items are taken for responsible disposal. Your Loader hauls them from basements, garages, and porches. Some items, like mattresses or appliances with refrigerants, may need special handling.
Chicago can impound a vehicle used to dump debris illegally, so these rules matter before clearing out a home in New City, on Chicago's South Side in Cook County.
The Department of Streets and Sanitation does not collect construction and demolition debris from home projects. A dumpster placed on a Chicago street or alley also needs a public way permit from the Chicago Department of Transportation before it is set down.
Under Chicago's bed bug ordinance, mattresses, box springs, and upholstered furniture with bed bugs must be fully wrapped in plastic and labeled as infested before disposal. The rule protects neighbors and scavengers who might otherwise carry the pests home from the alley.
Illinois prohibits disposing of whole used tires in landfills, partly because discarded tires collect rainwater and breed mosquitoes that can carry West Nile virus. The Illinois EPA partners with local governments on periodic residential tire collection events as a legal outlet.
Chicago requires doors or lids removed from discarded refrigerators and freezers so a child cannot become trapped inside. Residents of buildings with four or fewer units can request appliance collection from the Department of Streets and Sanitation through CHI311.
Each January, Chicago's Department of Streets and Sanitation and the Chicago Park District run a Christmas tree recycling program that turns dropped-off trees into wood chips. Lights, ornaments, tinsel, and stands must come off first so they do not end up in the mulch.
Since 2012, the Illinois Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act has barred residents from discarding items such as televisions, computer monitors, printers, and computers with household trash. Chicago directs residents to drop-off recycling options, including its Goose Island household chemicals and computer facility.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in New City starts at $80, and curbside or driveway pickup takes $5 off.

It can be, for a few large items from a single-family home or a building with four or fewer units. Larger buildings and big cleanouts usually fall outside it. In those cases a private pickup is often faster, since 311 requests can take time to schedule.
Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating them when options allow, and they try to recycle what donation centers won't accept. Chicago-area groups such as Goodwill and The Brown Elephant take some household goods, depending on acceptance. Anything left over goes to an appropriate disposal facility.
Pick your items online, choose a time window, and see the total before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader arrives in that window and removes the items from inside or from the curb. Curbside jobs need no one home if you leave access notes.
Chicago's Household Chemicals and Computer Recycling Facility at 1150 N. North Branch Street accepts items like computers, TVs, CFL bulbs, household cleaners, and oil-based paint. These are the kinds of items that generally don't belong in regular bulk pickup or the garbage cart.
Pricing model and booking flow. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? charges by how much of its truck your items fill, while LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For a few items, per-item pricing can be lower. For a full-house cleanout, truck-share pricing may fit better.
