About Junk Removal in Peoria — Who We Are and Why It Matters

We are Junk Removal in Peoria — a locally owned, owner-operated hauling service based in Peoria, Illinois. We serve residential and commercial customers across Peoria County and into Tazewell County. Every job is handled by our own team. We are not a franchise, not a call center, and not a national company dispatching anonymous contractors to your door.

We started this company because Peoria homeowners and business owners deserved better than the experience they were getting: missed appointments, prices that doubled at the door, and crews that had never set foot in Peoria before the day of the job. We built something different.

We Know Peoria — Not Just the Zip Code

Peoria is one of the most historically significant cities in Central Illinois. More than 60 percent of its housing stock was built before 1970. That means basements packed with three generations of furniture, garages untouched since the 1980s, and attics that have not been opened in decades. We have seen all of it, and we can handle all of it.

We know the West Bluff near Bradley University. We know how the alley access works on the South Side. We know that getting a truck through some of the older blocks in Richwoods requires a different setup than a standard suburban driveway. We know Peoria Heights village ordinances and the HOA rules in Dunlap and Washington. That is operational knowledge that comes from being local — not from a training manual sent by a national franchise.

We also serve East Peoria, Peoria Heights, Morton, Washington, Bartonville, and surrounding communities in Tazewell and Woodford counties, where there is no free municipal pickup equivalent to Peoria’s GFL program.

What We Haul — And What We Will Tell You Not to Pay Us For

Our team removes furniture, appliances, mattresses, yard debris, estate contents, construction waste, electronics, hot tubs, exercise equipment, and virtually anything else that is not a hazardous material. We do full-property cleanouts, single-item pickups, and everything in between.

Here is something no other Peoria junk removal company will tell you: the City of Peoria offers free bulky waste pickup through GFL Environmental. If you have a small, manageable load you can carry to the curb yourself, that program may be all you need. We will tell you that honestly before you book with us. That kind of transparency is why our customers call us again — and why they refer us to their neighbors.

Licensed, Insured, and Accountable — What That Actually Means for You

Being licensed and insured is not a marketing phrase. It means that if something is damaged during a job at your property, you are protected — not left chasing an unregistered crew for a repair bill. Our general liability coverage is active on every job. Our team members are vetted. Documentation is available before any work begins.

We operate in full compliance with Peoria County regulations, Illinois EPA waste disposal rules, and applicable municipal codes across our service territory. We pull appropriate permits when required. We dispose at licensed facilities only.

Our Pricing Philosophy

We price by load volume — how much of our truck your items fill. We assess the load when we arrive, confirm the price to your face, and you decide whether to proceed before we lift a single item. There are no hourly charges revealed after the job, no fuel surcharges added at the end, and no price that doubles between the phone call and the front door.

Typical Peoria junk removal ranges from $75 for a single large item to $450–$650 for a full truckload. The average Peoria County homeowner pays between $106 and $860 depending on volume, access, and job complexity. We give you a firm number before the work starts.

Business Information

What Peoria Customers Say

“I called three junk removal companies after my father passed. These were the only ones who gave me a straight price and showed up when they said they would. They handled the whole house — basement, garage, two full floors — in one day. I would not have believed it was possible.”
— Patricia H., West Bluff, Peoria — March 2026

“We manage commercial properties across Peoria County and use them exclusively for tenant turnovers. On time, on price, no excuses. That is rare in this business.”
— David M., Commercial Property Manager, Peoria — April 2026

“They showed up the same morning I called, walked through my garage, gave me a number, and were done by noon. No surprises. The price was fair for what it was.”
— Karen T., Richwoods, Peoria — May 2026
