The sectional that won't go down the stairs the way it came up. The dresser nobody wants. The bed frame from the old apartment. We carry it out from any floor, often the same day.
Free onsite estimate, no obligation
Full service: all the lifting, hauling and disposal included
Furniture is what we haul more than anything else: over 2,200 furniture pickups in the last 24 months, most of them in Chicago apartments and condos where the problem isn't really the couch, it's the stairs. Our crews carry from any floor, take doors off their hinges when they have to, and break down whatever won't fit. Building rules, freight elevators and alley access are all routine for us.
Metal frames and springs are recycled, anything that can be re-homed instead of landfilled, is, and the rest goes to a licensed facility. Chicago's garbage crews won't take most old furniture, and Streets & Sanitation bulk pickup is limited and slow, which is exactly why this is the job we get called for most.

How Furniture Removal Works
1
Book a free onsite estimate
Book online, or call or text (312) 800-1940. Pick an arrival window that suits you. Same-day and next-day are often available, Monday through Saturday.
2
The crew gives you a firm price on the spot
They take a look at everything and give you one number that covers the labor, loading, hauling and disposal. There's no obligation, so if it doesn't work for you, they simply leave and there's no charge.
3
Say yes and it's gone, in the same visit
The crew carries everything out from wherever it sits, loads it up, and sweeps up after themselves. Most jobs are finished right then and there.
4
All done, with a receipt to prove it
Once everything is loaded and swept, the crew takes payment and emails you a receipt with before-and-after photos, so you can see the job is complete.

A Beverly home had three heavy things going at once: an old side-by-side refrigerator in the basement, a California king bed with a solid headboard and footboard, and a queen mattress and box spring from a second bedroom.
A Streeterville condo needed clearing: a couch, a living-room chair, a rug, a mattress and frame, a small treadmill and assorted household items. The building required a freight elevator reservation and a COI, both of which we handle every week.
A Lakeview condo needed to be completely cleared, every closet, the kitchen, a bedroom filled to the walls, with an on-site contact meeting the crew and payment on a card on file. The building's elevator was reserved for a three-hour morning window.
We don't quote by phone, because we'd rather give you a number we can stand behind. The crew gives you one firm, no-obligation price once they've seen the furniture and the route out. Stairs, elevators and heavy pieces are all part of that estimate, so the price they quote is the price you pay. If it doesn't work for you, there's no charge.
Do you take furniture from upper floors or walk-ups?
Yes. Third-floor walk-ups are half of our city work, and the crew sizes up the stairs as part of the estimate.
Will you take furniture that's still in good shape?
Yes, and we'd much rather see it re-homed than landfilled. We can't promise every piece finds a new home, since older upholstered furniture and particleboard rarely do, but usable pieces don't go straight to disposal.
Can I just leave it in the alley or on the curb?
Legally, no. Chicago fines for alley dumping run into the hundreds of dollars, and Streets & Sanitation bulk pickup is by 311 request with limits. Practically, furniture left in an alley gets rained on and stays there. Having it picked up is a lot less hassle than a ticket.
You're welcome to be there, and most people are. If the items are outside, in the garage or the alley, or the home is vacant with a lockbox, the crew can do the job without you. They'll text you before-and-after photos and take payment by phone or with a card on file.
Can you disassemble large pieces?
Yes. Sectionals, wardrobes, bunk beds and IKEA units get broken down as needed to get them out.
We don't quote by phone, because we'd rather give you a number we can stand behind. The crew comes out for free, looks at what's going and how it's getting out (stairs, elevators, heavy material and all), and gives you one price that covers everything. Say yes and they do the job right then. Say no and there's no charge, no hard feelings.
The price is confirmed on site before anything moves, so there are no surprises on the invoice. How our pricing works →
