The crew does all the lifting, including stairs, heavy pieces, and tight spaces, so you do not need to move a thing.
Floors and walls are protected, and the area is swept before the crew leaves. Crews are fully insured and arrive in branded uniforms. Here is what you need to do.

What 60619's housing means for your junk pickup
Chicago 60619 spans about 6.1 square miles with a population density of about 9,781 people per square mile. That density means many pickups here happen on narrow streets with limited parking, so the crew is used to working around tight curbside access.
About 36 percent of homes are single-family detached, while about 28 percent sit in buildings of five units or more. If your pickup is in a multi-unit building, the crew will handle the shared hallways and stairwells with care, and the building's layout rarely slows the job down.
The thaw releases a season's worth of yard debris in a matter of weeks. With about 39 inches of snow a year and about 44 inches of precipitation, spring brings a predictable rush of branches, old fencing, and storm debris that Junk Rhinos clears without bagging.
How 60619 compares with other parts of the country
The housing mix in 60619 is distinct from smaller towns. North Providence, RI 02911 has about 34 percent rented homes and about 77 percent built before 1980, a closer match to Chicago's renter-heavy older stock. Nye, MT 59061 swings the other way, with about 22 percent rented and about 90 percent single-family detached.
Vinton, CA 96135 sits at the extreme, with about 100 percent single-family detached homes and about 0 percent rented. In 60619, the work clusters around move-outs and apartment turnovers. In Vinton and Nye, the work is more likely tied to seasonal property maintenance.
Whatever the housing mix, the same volume pricing applies, so you pay for the space your load takes up, not for the building type it came out of.
