About a third of everything we haul is construction and renovation debris — over 1,000 debris jobs in the last 24 months for general contractors, kitchen and bath remodelers, flooring installers, and homeowners doing it themselves. For most residential projects we're faster and simpler than a dumpster: no permit for the parkway, no 10-yard box sitting in the alley for a week, no neighbors filling it overnight. Contractors use us on a schedule — end-of-day pickups, weekly hauls, or a call when the pile gets big — and get invoiced per truck. Homeowners book a visit and the crew quotes on the spot. Clean wood, metal and cardboard are separated for recycling; the rest goes to a licensed C&D transfer station.

What We Take

  • Drywall, plaster and lath
  • Lumber, framing, trim and pallets
  • Kitchen cabinets, countertops and vanities
  • Tile, hardwood, laminate and carpet tear-out
  • Doors, windows and old fixtures
  • Toilets, tubs, sinks and plumbing
  • Roofing shingles (small quantities) and siding
  • Concrete, brick and pavers (weight surcharge applies)
  • Insulation, drop ceilings and paneling
  • Bagged demo waste and job-site trash

How Construction Debris Removal Works

  1. 1

    Book a pickup

    Call (312) 800-1940 or book online. Contractors on account just text the address and 'ready.'

  2. 2

    Crew quotes on the spot

    Debris is priced by the space it takes on the truck, with a weight surcharge for heavy materials (concrete, tile, plaster) — the crew tells you before loading, not after.

  3. 3

    Crew loads it

    Bagged or loose, inside the unit or staged in the alley. We carry down stairs and out of gangways — that's the point of calling us instead of a dumpster.

  4. 4

    Site swept, invoice sent

    Photos and one invoice per pickup, or one per month for accounts.

Real Jobs, Real Results

Forest Park

Garage Full of Renovation Debris Cleared — Forest Park, IL

A Forest Park garage had become the dumping ground for a renovation: broken concrete, plaster, bagged demo waste, old ductwork, pallets, windows and a lot of lumber. The crew sorted as they loaded — concrete and plaster separately because they're charged by weight, clean wood and metal for recycling, bags to disposal. Two truckloads and the garage was swept to the slab. Heavy materials carry a weight surcharge because the disposal facility charges by the pound. The crew tells you that in the estimate, not on the invoice.

Chicago — Near North Side

Contractor Demo Debris Hauled from a High-Rise Condo — Near North, Chicago

One of our contractor accounts was gutting a high-rise condo — walls, closets, kitchen tile and flooring — and needed debris hauled out repeatedly as the demo progressed, through a reserved freight elevator and a strict building schedule. This visit was the second debris run of the project: drywall, studs, tile and old flooring carried out on carts, down the freight elevator and into the truck at the dock. Before-and-after photos went to the contractor with the invoice, as they do on every account job. Contractors on account text us when the pile is ready. We come, we photograph, we invoice monthly.

Construction Debris Removal FAQs

Junk removal or a dumpster — which is better for a renovation?

For most kitchen, bath and flooring jobs, junk removal wins: no permit or parkway fee, no box sitting for a week, no neighbors filling it, and the debris is gone the same day. A dumpster makes sense for multi-week gut jobs generating debris every day. See our dumpster vs. junk removal comparison.

Do you take concrete, brick and dirt?

Yes. These are charged by weight at the transfer station, so a weight surcharge applies and the crew will tell you before loading.

Can you pick up daily or weekly from a job site?

Yes. Contractors set up standing pickups and are invoiced per truck. We're used to working around inspections and trades.

Do you take roofing shingles?

Small quantities from repairs, yes, with a weight surcharge. A full tear-off is usually better in a dumpster because of the weight; we'll tell you honestly which makes sense.

Is it bagged only, or will you take loose debris?

Either. Loose debris just needs to be in one area we can reach.

Do you need the debris outside?

No. We'll carry it out of the unit, down the stairs and through the gangway. The crew factors the carry into the estimate.

Do you handle asbestos, lead paint chips or other hazardous debris?

No. Asbestos-containing materials and hazardous waste require a licensed abatement contractor. If you're not sure what you've got in an older Chicago home, get it tested before demo.

Free Onsite Estimate, One Firm Price

We don't quote by phone. The crew comes out for free, looks at what's going and how it's getting out — stairs, elevators, heavy material — and gives you one number that covers everything. Say yes and they do the job on the spot. Say no and there's no charge.

  • All labor, lifting & loading
  • Hauling & transport
  • Dismantling in place
  • Full cleanup & sweep-up
  • Disposal & recycling fees
