Basement cleanouts in Northbrook, IL
The basement is where heavy things go to be forgotten. Treadmills, sleeper sofas, the old television, boxes from three moves ago. We carry all of it up the stairs and out, so you do not have to.
The same crew clears attics. If the job is top to bottom, we can do both floors in one visit.
What we take
- Sofas, recliners and old furniture
- Treadmills, ellipticals and weight benches
- Boxes, bins and storage shelves
- Rolled carpet and padding
- Old televisions and stereo equipment
- Spare refrigerators and freezers
- Pool tables and game tables, taken apart
- Boxes and carpet damaged by a wet basement
- Attic contents: luggage, decorations, old boxes
What we cannot take
Basement shelves often hold old paint and cleaners. Leave those where they are and we will work around them.
- Household hazardous waste
- Paint, stains and solvents
- Chemicals, including pesticides and pool chemicals
- Asbestos, or material that may contain it
- Propane tanks
Have one of these? Ask us and we will point you to the right drop-off.
How pricing works
The price follows the space your items take in the truck, not the number of stairs. A few large pieces may be a quarter load. A full basement can be a truck or more. We confirm the load size and the price when we see it, before we start.
- Minimum load
- Quarter truck
- Half truck
- Three-quarter truck
- Full truck
Every quote includes all labor, loading, hauling and disposal fees. If you decline the quote, there is no charge. Read the full pricing guide.
A local note for Northbrook
Our office is on Shermer Road, the same road as the Metra station and Village Green Park, so most Northbrook basements are a short drive for us. Tell us about the stairs when you book: straight or turning, inside or a walkout.
Northbrook Junk Removal made cleaning out my attic so much easier! The crew was courteous, worked efficiently, and took care when carrying everything down and out of the house. I appreciated the clear communication and how tidy they left the space. It feels great to have the attic cleared out and usable again. I'd happily call them for my next clean out!
Basement cleanouts: common questions
Is there an extra step if items are in the basement?
No extra step for you. Carrying things up the stairs is part of the job. The quote you approve is the price.
Can you take a treadmill or an elliptical?
Yes. We take large machines apart when they will not clear the stairway.
Do you clear attics?
Yes. We carry boxes, luggage and furniture down from the attic and out of the house, and we can do the attic and basement in the same visit.
Can you take things that got wet?
Yes. Soaked boxes, carpet and furniture can go. If you see or suspect mold or asbestos, tell us first so we can advise.
Do I need to bring anything upstairs?
No. Leave it where it is and show us what goes.
