Why Junk Gorillas

A Local Crew You Can Count On

Family Owned & Operated

Two brothers started Junk Gorillas to bring honest, reliable junk removal to Chicagoland. You work with the owners' crew, not a faceless call center.

We Do the Heavy Lifting

You never have to drag anything to the curb. We carry everything out from wherever it is, from basements and attics to second floors and tight stairwells.

Upfront, Straightforward Pricing

You get a free quote before we start, based on how much truck space you need. No surprise fees, no haggling at the door.

Same-Day Availability

When our schedule allows, we can be there the same day. Call us and we'll get you on the calendar as fast as we can.

Responsible Disposal

We donate usable items and recycle metal and electronics where practical, keeping as much out of the landfill as we reasonably can.

Professional Crews

Our crew shows up on time, in uniform, and treats your home and property with respect. We sweep up before we leave.

Responsible Disposal

Where Does the Junk Go?

Hauling it away is only half the job. We sort what comes off the truck and make responsible choices about where it ends up.

  • Donation: usable furniture and household items go to local donation partners where practical.
  • Recycling: metal, appliances, and electronics are recycled where facilities are available.
  • Disposal: the rest goes to the appropriate transfer station, handled properly.

Customer Reviews

What Customers Say

"Cleared out my whole garage in about an hour. Two guys, one truck, zero hassle. They even swept the floor before they left. Price was exactly what they quoted me on the phone."

Dave M.

Schaumburg, IL

"I sent photos through their quote form and had a price the same afternoon. They hauled away an old sectional, a mattress, and a broken treadmill from my second floor condo. The crew was careful with the walls and the stairwell."

Priya S.

Arlington Heights, IL

"I manage about forty rental units and these guys are my first call now. Tenant moved out and left a basement full of junk. Junk Gorillas had it empty the next morning so I could start turning the unit over. Fair prices and they show up when they say they will."

Mike R.

Palatine, IL

"After my mom passed we needed to empty her house before the sale. The crew was patient with us and let us set aside the things we wanted to keep. They handled the furniture, the garage, and everything in the attic. It was a hard week and they made that part easy."

Karen T.

Hoffman Estates, IL

"We closed our retail store in the strip mall and had fixtures, shelving, and old signage everywhere. They came in with three guys and had the space broom clean by the end of the day. The landlord signed off on it with no issues."

Tony B.

Rolling Meadows, IL

"Old fridge in the basement that three other companies said they could not take. Junk Gorillas brought it up the stairs without scratching a thing and took the deep freezer too. Booked them on a Tuesday, done by Wednesday."

Sandra L.

Mount Prospect, IL

"Good work clearing out my office before our remodel. Four desks, a wall of old filing cabinets, and a pile of e waste. Only reason it is not five stars is they showed up about forty minutes past the window, but they called ahead and the crew worked fast once they got there."

James K.

Elk Grove Village, IL

"My tenant abandoned a house full of furniture and I needed it out fast. They quoted me from the photos I texted and finished the whole cleanout in one visit. They even took the tires and paint cans sitting in the shed that other haulers refused."

Rosa D.

Streamwood, IL

"Hot tub in the backyard that had to go. They broke it down and carried every piece out through a narrow side gate. Took about two hours total and the yard was spotless when they finished."

Greg H.

Bartlett, IL

"We downsized my father in law from a three bedroom house to an apartment. They took the bedroom sets, the dining room set, and boxes and boxes from the basement. The crew was kind to him and let him go through things at his own pace. Really good people."

Alicia F.

Bloomingdale, IL

"Ran a small restaurant for twelve years and finally sold it. Kitchen equipment I could not give away, old booths, storage racks, all of it gone in an afternoon. They emailed me a receipt for the recycled metal too."

Vikram P.

Itasca, IL

"Shed cleanup after a rough winter. Storm debris, rotten lumber, an old mower, you name it. Straightforward pricing by how much of the truck we filled and no surprise charges at the end. Would use them again."

Tom W.

Hanover Park, IL
