Condo Cleanup Day in Chicago: A Junk Drive for Your Building
For condo, HOA and apartment buildings across Chicago and the suburbs. We bring an empty truck and a two-person crew, and we load whatever your residents want gone.
Our two-person crew does all the loading
Residents bring it down, or we carry it out of their unit
One bill to the building, or residents pay their own
A condo cleanup day in Chicago gives every resident one easy day to clear out what's been piling up. Storage cages fill up, an old mattress ends up in the back hallway, and a dresser sits in the bike room for a month. It happens in the nicest buildings!
You pick a date and a two-to-four-hour window. We park an empty truck at your loading dock with two crew members, and we load whatever your residents want gone. Residents can bring things down to the truck, or our crew can go up to their unit and carry it out for them. Everything leaves in one visit. We're a big company with 9 trucks, but we're still local and flexible, and we want to work with you to make the day a great experience for your residents.
Make Your Condo Cleanup Day a Regular Thing
Once a year, twice a year or every season, it's up to you. Tell us how often you'd like a building cleanup day, and we'll put your dates on the calendar for the year, so residents always know the next one is coming.
Announce one clear time window, like “JUNK Relief will be at the loading dock 1–4pm on Saturday, April 17.”
How a Building Junk Drive Works
1
Pick a date and time
Call, text or book online. Tell us where the truck can park, plus any elevator or loading dock rules your building has.
2
Spread the word
Post our printable flyer in the lobby and the mailroom, and add it to the building newsletter.
3
We show up ready
An empty truck and two crew members stay for the whole window.
4
We do the lifting
Residents bring items down, or we carry them out of their unit. Everything goes straight onto the truck.
5
Good items get a new home
If something is clean and in good shape, we'll try to find it a new home. Everything else goes to one of our recycling partners.
6
One bill
One invoice to the building or management company, with a W-9 on request and net terms for established accounts. Or residents can pay for their own items.

A Cleanup Day That Fits Your Budget
Every building is a little different, so we work out the details with you before the day. The bill is based on how much goes on the truck, and we're flexible. Tell us your budget, and we can set a cap, like one or two truckloads or a dollar limit. When we reach it, we close up the truck, so the bill never runs past what you planned. The building can pay one bill at the end of the day, or residents can pay for their own items instead.
Where It All Goes
If something is clean and in good shape, we'll try to find it a new home. Appliances and electronics go to a local recycler that recycles them responsibly, and everything else goes to one of our recycling partners.
A Recent Building Junk Drive
A Downtown Condo Building
A downtown property management company has booked a junk drive at one of its condo buildings more than once. We set up for an afternoon, and residents brought headboards, bed frames, mattresses, nightstands, chairs and more down to the back hallways while our crew loaded the truck. By the end of the window, the hallways were clear and the building had its space back!

It's up to you. Some buildings like one a year, and others like more. Tell us what works for your residents, and we'll put the dates on the calendar.
Do residents have to bring things down?
No. They can bring items down to the truck, or our crew can go up to their unit and carry things out for them.
Can we cap the cost?
Yes. Set a budget in truckloads or dollars, and we close up the truck when we reach it.
Can residents pay for their own items?
Yes. If you'd rather not pay one bill for the building, residents can each pay for their own items.
Do you need the freight elevator?
It helps. Tell us your building's elevator and loading dock rules, and we'll follow them. Our trucks carry plastic floor runners and moving blankets, we'll use the building's elevator pads, and the crew cleans up the removal area before they leave.
Can you send a certificate of insurance?
Yes. We're licensed and insured, and we'll send a certificate of insurance naming your building or management company before the event.
Do you do junk drives in the suburbs?
Yes! We do condo cleanup days across Chicago and the suburbs, from downtown high-rises to suburban townhome communities.
