Trashout and Junk Removal in Chicago

A vacant property full of personal property, furniture, and debris cannot be inspected, listed, or secured. We clear it, haul it, and document what we removed so the file stands up to review.

Trashout / Junk Removal for property preservation in the Chicago area

What is included

  • Full interior clear-out: furniture, appliances, personal property, and loose debris
  • Exterior debris, yard waste, and dumped material removed from the lot
  • Garage, basement, attic, and outbuilding clear-out
  • Hazardous and prohibited items identified and flagged rather than hauled
  • Before, during, and after photographs on every job
  • Disposal handled through licensed facilities

How we handle it

Every trashout starts with documentation. We photograph the property as we find it, note anything that looks like it may be a personal-property claim, and flag hazards such as suspected asbestos, sharps, or biohazard before anyone starts hauling. That protects you from a dispute later and keeps the crew safe. Volume is recorded so the invoice matches what actually left the property, and the completed file comes back with a full photo set suitable for a servicer or investor.

What does a property trashout in Chicago include?

A trashout clears everything left behind in a vacant property: furniture, appliances, personal property, and interior and exterior debris, including garages, basements, and outbuildings. A&D photographs the property before, during, and after, records what was removed, and disposes of it through licensed facilities. Hazardous material is flagged and reported rather than hauled.

Where we do this work

Trashout / Junk Removal runs out of A&D's Chicago office across Cook, Will, Kane, and Lake counties in Illinois, plus Northwest Indiana. Coverage for a specific address is confirmed by the office before the work is accepted.

Common questions

Do you remove personal property from an occupied or recently vacated home?
We handle personal property according to the instructions on the work order and applicable local requirements. If we arrive and the property appears occupied, we stop and report back rather than proceeding.
What happens to hazardous material?
We do not haul hazardous material as part of a standard trashout. We identify it, photograph it, and report it so remediation can be scoped and authorized separately.
Will I get photo documentation?
Yes. Before, during, and after photographs are part of every trashout, along with a record of what was removed.
