Glen Ellyn has the oldest housing stock we work in — three National Register historic districts downtown and frame houses near Lake Ellyn that have been standing since before the village was incorporated in 1892. Century-old houses hold a century of things. The Junkluggers of Chicago NW Suburbs is the junk removal service Glen Ellyn families call when the attic, the basement, or the whole estate finally has to come out.
Our Glen Ellyn home cleanout services cover the full range of what those houses produce. Built-in shelving loads, coal-cellar storage, cast-iron laundry sinks, plaster and lath from a remodel, hundred-pound furniture that came in before the doorways were narrowed, and the ordinary sofas, mattresses and appliances too. We work the historic districts, Stacy's Corners, Butterfield West, Arboretum Estates and the Raintree townhomes.
Local businesses use us as well. Along Roosevelt Road and in the walkable downtown retail core, our commercial junk removal service in Glen Ellyn handles storefront turnovers, office cleanouts and renovation debris without shutting you down for a day.

Old houses are the best donation source we have. Solid-wood furniture, real dishes, intact light fixtures and usable appliances go to local charities or to our Remix Market resale store in Elgin rather than into a landfill. Metal is recycled. Electronics are diverted, which Illinois law requires regardless.
You get a donation receipt listing what was actually placed on your behalf — genuinely useful documentation when you are settling an estate rather than just decluttering.

Glen Ellyn is a sticker town. One cart is free each week; every extra container needs a pink refuse sticker. For bulk items and appliances, the Village's own guidance is to contact the hauler for the number of stickers required — which means you cannot price getting rid of a couch before you commit to it.
The free Unlimited Refuse Collection day is a genuinely good program, and it is also once a year. It will not take electronics, household hazardous waste, liquids, a utility sink or tub, fencing that is not in a container, or concrete, brick, stone and broken glass that is not in containers. That list is close to an inventory of what actually comes out of a hundred-year-old house.
We give you a written on-site estimate before anything moves, on any day of the year. You never pay more than that estimate, and you pay less if the load runs small.

Glen Ellyn residents and businesses use the same three steps.

From the blocks above Lake Ellyn to the newer townhomes at Raintree, Glen Ellyn homeowners call us when the job is bigger than a stack of stickers. Estate attorneys and realtors use us on closing deadlines. Families use us when a house that has been in the family for decades has to be emptied and nobody wants to spend a season on it.

For bulk items and appliances the village's own guidance is to contact the hauler for the number of stickers required — so you cannot price getting rid of a couch before you commit to it. The free Unlimited Refuse Collection day is genuinely useful and it is also once a year, and it still will not take electronics, household hazardous waste, liquids, a utility sink or tub, fencing that is not in a container, or concrete, brick, stone and broken glass that is not in containers.
Yes — and it is the single biggest gap between us and any village program. Every municipal refuse service in the area is curbside only. No village crew will go into a basement, an attic, a crawlspace or up a second-floor stair for you. Our crews do all of the carrying, protect your floors and doorframes on the way out, and sweep up behind themselves.
Pricing is based on how much space your items take up in our truck, not an hourly rate. Our crew walks the space with you and hands you a written on-site estimate before anything moves. You will never pay more than that estimate, and if the load takes less room than we quoted, you pay less.
Usually yes. We offer same-day and next-day appointments seven days a week with a two-hour arrival window, and we call 15 to 20 minutes before we arrive. Time slots fill quickly, so booking early secures your preferred window.
It gets sorted before it gets disposed of. Furniture and household goods with life left in them go to local charities or to our Remix Market resale store in Elgin. Metal goes to a recycler. Electronics are kept out of the landfill, which Illinois law requires regardless. You receive a donation receipt listing what was actually placed with local charities on your behalf.
Yes. We handle storefront turnovers, office cleanouts and renovation debris in the downtown retail core and along the Roosevelt Road corridor, without shutting you down for a day.
