This was AMAZING. From start to finish they were incredibly nice, efficient, and helpful. They took away a pile of... electronics, a broken coffee table, and several household chemicals. Properly disposing of that much stuff without a car was a daunting prospect for us, but JUNK Relief made it super easy. Thank you so much!!!read more

This was an amazing experience. They were on time and fast. We did not believe the guys would be able to get everything... in the truck due to the size. However, they were able to arrange everything to fit perfectly. If we ever need this type of service again we will be calling them.read more

The folks at Junk Relief are outstanding. Per their website, I texted with an inquiry for furniture removal and got a... response with minutes. Their coordinator, Kailey, helped me schedule a pick up two days later and the crew that arrived was phenomenal. They were in and out in 30 min - which included (literally) sawing our sofa in half so as to get it down our 3-story walk up; their customer service was impeccable to say the least. I don’t have enough great things to say about the entire Junk Relief team.read more

JUNK Relif was/is amazing. I called last minute to see if they could help me remove furniture the next day and I don't... know how they did it, but they squeezed me in. I am so grateful. The guys picking up the furniture were professional and very careful. I am very happy with the services provided by JUNK relief. I would definitely recommend them!read more

If you’re looking for a furniture removal service, look no further - Junk Relief is the business for you. I reached out... to them for removing an old desk. It would have been a hassle to dispose of the desk since I’m in an apartment complex. I heard back with a quote the same evening and scheduled a few days afterwards. Before arrival, I got a text notification. When the team arrived, they moved quickly and safely. The quote was reasonable and cheaper than another Chicago based furniture removal service I contacted ($50 cheaper to be exact). They made it very easy to pay with cash or card. I will be contacting them again to remove some other old furniture when my new pieces arrive!read more

Used Junk Relief to remove a sectional sofa. Martin and David showed up and were very professional and efficient. They... were very careful not to nick any walls/other furniture (wish my cleaning staff was as careful :). As Martin said, we treat other people's houses/belongings like our own. I would definitely use Junk Relief again. Great customer service!!read more

My partner and I have had a badly damaged upright piano sitting in our apartment for several months now and needed to... remove it before we move out. We searched a few places and Junk Relief stood out because their site mentions trying to donate items before scrapping them. I texted a few pictures of the piano and had a response and quote in minutes. We scheduled a pick-up and the crew arrived on time, were friendly and courteous, and removed the piano in just a few minutes. Moreover, their price was incredibly competitive compared to other services we contacted. Overall, an excellent experience.read more

JUNK relief was an absolute lifesaver! I cannot speak highly enough of the thorough and prompt service I received on... behalf of a senior who had to empty her apartment ASAP, after a move to assisted living. Their prices are a great value, and are explained in detail upfront. JUNK Relief is environmentally conscience, which means a lot to me. The staff was accessible throughout the process -- available to answer any and all questions. AND, they were all (I spoke with a couple different employees) friendly, and showed genuine concern for the situation. I am keeping their number on speed dial!read more

The folks at Junk Relief were extremely efficient and professional. I recently purchased a new couch and knew I needed... help getting my old one out. Not only was junk relief extremely flexible with scheduling (since new couch delivery is a bit unpredictable) but they also will donate the couch on my behalf. I’d been told by three sets of movers that I should “never move this couch again” because it’s so heavy/unwieldy, so I was a bit worried, but the Junk Relief folks got it out and down the stairs in no time. They both wore masks and gloves and were very professional. The flat rate quote was very reasonable and I would definitely recommend junk relief.read more

This was the easiest service I've ever experienced. I submitted a query online, got a response that same day and had... someone from JUNK Relief at my home the next day to remove a queen sized mattress.

Quick response to set up the removal about 5-10min after I sent a request online. Guys came and grabbed the old... loveseat we had and we’re gone in no time (also were wearing gloves and masks properly). Fast, friendly, easy! Will definitely use again if I need a couch or something big removed. I would suggest that they partner up with a furniture retailer so they can do a sale and a removal together since most furniture stores don’t offer removal.read more

Junk Relief was great! They called within 2 hours of my online submission, gave me an estimate based on photos, and set... pick-up for the next day.

Very reasonable cost and the guys were quick and professional. Highly recommend!read more

After another junk removal company stood me up without notice, I reached out to JUNK Relief at the last minute. Timing... was important, as I had to remove furniture from my apartment before vacating it at the end of the lease. They were super courteous and managed to send me a crew which arrived perfectly on time and did the job well, wearing a face mask and respectful of my property. The best part : the actual cost came in well below the quote they did. I would recommend them fully and use them again if needed. Thanks for saving me that time!read more

Great experience with using JUNK Relief this week. I had to have a queen bed frame/mattress and a few other heavy... things removed from my apartment quickly.

I will 100% use again.read more

Amazing service! I requested a quote online, and someone called me 15 minutes later with an estimate (very reasonable!)... Junk Relief offered to come the same day. Two employees came on time and removed our couch-bed and chair in 15 minutes (2nd floor of a townhouse with a very narrow staircase). Wow! Thank you so much! What an amazing company!

Prior to moving out of state, I priced several junk removal companies to get rid of my old mattress, box spring, and... bed frame. Junk Relief was by far the most responsive and affordable. After providing what needed to be picked up, I received a call within minutes providing me an estimate. They also offered contactless pickup, which was great. Prior to my pick up date, I sent an updated email providing instructions to the back entrance of my apartment. I received acknowledgement immediately. I received a text about 25 minutes before the crew arrived advising that they were on their way. I moved the mattress to my porch, and the crew came and moved my old mattress down 2 tall, narrrow flights of stairs. The entire process was easy and seamless. I would definitely recommend Junk Relief if you need junk removal.read more

What a pleasant surprise to find a company as affordable and courteous as these guys! I needed an old sectional and rug... removed from my basement and was happy to find a company that recycles and donates a lot of "junk." Called and got an incredibly reasonable quote, so I booked right away. There was a bit of confusion (they showed up a day early), but they were promptly back on the scheduled day and very professional. Wore masks the whole time and cleaned up after themselves! Payment process was super easy (they take cards on site). Definitely recommend.read more

The response time when I contacted Junk Relief was super fast. Even though I contacted them on a Sunday, they had... someone scheduled for pickup on Tuesday morning, the day after Labor Day! They called before they arrived. And they were one hour early for our schedule time. We had a very old freezer in the basement. The two workers, Ricardo and Jesse, had the freezer up and out within an hour. They had to back track a bit when the back door had to be removed. But they were able to move the freezer and get it on the back of their truck quickly. They really need a dolly on their truck. We were able to supply them with one, which really helped them move the freezer up the stairs.read more

I based my decision to hire Junk Relief on their glowing Google reviews alone. Of 400+ reviews, their "bad" ones were 4... of 5 stars. I even found a previous review describing a similar situation to my own: furniture removal, small space, 3rd floor apartment, and back alley entrance. So, I needed a dismantled futon removed from my 3rd floor apartment. Not only were they punctual, but they removed everything in less than 10 minutes. Such efficiency! If I remembered the names of the 2 gentlemen, I will praise them by name. Also, in the time of Covid, they wore masks, gloves, and were as mindful of distance as possible. I am so, so ,so, so, so glad I picked them. I have no problem using them again.read more

I called for a quote for furniture/electronics removal the day prior to needing junk removed out of my old 2-bedroom... condo. Got a competitive range of a quote and was told two junk removers would meet me 30 minutes prior to my scheduled move-out. Sure enough they were right on time, professional and considerate of the hallways/elevators used to move the furniture and electronics out. All in all I ended up finishing an hour earlier than expected and the final price was the bottom end of their quoted range. Would recommend! As an FYI, they charge per cubic meter of their truck used, not necessarily what exactly is being tossed, so bigger items will take up more space.read more

We live on the 5th floor but the units in our... building have 16 - 20 foot ceilings with an elevator that was way too small to fit the sectional. JUNK Relief's team of two guys were able to get both pieces down 10 flights of stairs in about 30 minutes. The team was very friendly, thanking me every time I opened the door for them.
