What 60126's older housing stock means for your cleanout
Elmhurst 60126 holds about 18,687 housing units, and the median year built is 1964. About 66 percent of homes went up before 1980, so many basements and attics here hold decades of accumulated furniture, appliances, and boxes. A single estate cleanout can fill the truck more than once.
About 74 percent of homes are single-family detached, which means most pickups start at a driveway or a side door. But about 20 percent of homes sit in buildings of five units or more, so a fair share of jobs begin at a stairwell or a narrow hallway instead.
The crew carries everything out either way.
The thaw releases a season's worth of yard debris in a matter of weeks. With about 39 inches of precipitation and 42 inches of snow a year, the spring melt exposes branches, old fencing, and storm debris all at once. Yard waste removal handles it without bagging.
