What 60070 housing means for a junk pickup
The housing stock in this ZIP is mostly older and dense. About 61 percent of homes were built before 1980, and the median build year is 1976, so cleanouts here often involve decades of accumulated items in basements and garages.
About 37 percent of occupied homes are rented, which means many pickups are for moves in and out of apartments.
With about 3,911 people per square mile across 4.0 square miles, parking and curb space are tight for many buildings. The crew works around whatever access exists, carrying items through lobbies and down hallways when a truck cannot pull up close.
Winter buries whatever is in the yard, so it is usually spring before that load moves. About 38 inches of snow a year and 32 inches of rain mean outdoor debris waits for the thaw.
