About Wrigleyville Junk Removal

A Chicago junk removal company built on straightforward service, fair pricing, and local know-how.

Our Story

Wrigleyville Junk Removal was founded in 2018 with a straightforward goal: give Chicago residents a reliable, fairly priced option for junk hauling without the hassle. The junk removal industry can be full of bait-and-switch pricing, no-show crews, and vague commitments. We were started specifically to be the opposite of that.

We're a local business rooted in the Chicago neighborhoods we serve. We know the city well — the building management protocols in high-rise residential towers, the parking and loading challenges on tight Wrigleyville and Lincoln Park blocks, the freight elevator restrictions at older commercial properties. That local knowledge makes us more effective and more efficient than out-of-market operators who treat every city the same.

Since 2018, we've grown steadily through repeat customers and word-of-mouth referrals. That's intentional. We'd rather build a business that earns ongoing trust than chase volume at the expense of quality. Every job gets the same level of care, regardless of size.

We serve residential customers — homeowners, renters, condo owners — and commercial clients including property managers, landlords, real estate agents, and business tenants throughout the Chicago area. If you need junk removed in Chicago, we can handle it.

Meet the Manager

Simon Bush

Manager

Simon Bush has been working in junk removal and hauling for several years, building up real hands-on experience with all kinds of jobs around Wrigleyville and the surrounding Chicago neighborhoods. He knows the work inside and out — from small apartment cleanouts in Lakeview to larger property hauls across the city.

Simon takes the job seriously and makes a point of being straight with customers about pricing and timelines. He wants people to feel like they got a fair deal and a reliable crew, not just someone who showed up and rushed through it. That attitude has shaped how the entire business operates.

His familiarity with Chicago's neighborhoods — the building types, access challenges, waste disposal infrastructure, and local service culture — translates directly into better service for customers. You're not dealing with a call center or a franchise. You're dealing with someone who does this work and cares how it goes.

Our Commitment to Responsible Disposal

We make an active effort to keep usable items out of landfills. Before any load is dispatched to a disposal facility, we sort for donation and recycling. Furniture and household goods in reasonable condition are donated to Chicago-area charitable organizations. Metal, cardboard, and clean recyclables are diverted to appropriate recycling facilities. Electronics are handled by certified e-waste processors operating under Illinois environmental guidelines.

This isn't just marketing language — it's a real part of how we operate. Reducing landfill volume is good for Chicago, good for our customers who care about it, and the right way to run a junk removal business in 2024.

For commercial clients who need documentation of disposal methods or recycling diversion for compliance purposes, we can provide that upon request.

Our Operational Standards

These aren't aspirational goals — they're the minimum we hold ourselves to on every job:

  • Upfront pricing confirmed before work begins — no post-job surprises
  • Crews arrive within the scheduled window, every time
  • All items sorted for donation, recycling, or compliant disposal
  • Building and property protected during removal — floors, walls, door frames
  • Broom-clean site at job completion on every haul
  • Clear communication from booking through completion
