The Junkluggers of Chicago NW Suburbs is a locally owned junk removal company built on a simple belief: most "junk" isn't junk  donate usable items to local charities — the Furniture Bank, SLSF, the Elgin Community Crisis Center, and Habitat for Humanity ReStore — and recycle everything we can before anything goes to a landfill. When you work here, you're doing real work that makes a real difference in the community.

We're growing fast and looking for reliable, hardworking people to join our crew.

• Work as part of a 2–3 person crew completing junk removal jobs at homes and businesses across the Chicago NW Suburbs
• Load furniture, appliances, and debris safely and efficiently
• Interact with customers professionally — we're in people's homes and offices, so attitude matters
• Sort items on-site for donation, recycling, or disposal
• Drive or ride in company vehicles to job sites
• Complete jobs on time and document work accurately

Most days start early and wrap by mid-afternoon. Weekend availability is a plus and earns priority scheduling.

• Able to lift 75+ lbs repeatedly throughout a shift — this is physical work and that's not a small thing
• Reliable — showing up on time is non-negotiable
• Customer-friendly — you'll be talking to clients on their worst days; patience and a good attitude go a long way
• Valid driver's license preferred (not required for all positions)
• Previous moving, labor, landscaping, or warehouse experience is a bonus — but we'll train the right person from scratch

• $18–$22/hour depending on experience
• Tips — our crews earn tips regularly on top of hourly pay
• Flexible scheduling — full-time and part-time positions available
• Paid training — we'll teach you everything you need to know
• Real advancement — crew lead and route manager roles are available as we grow
• Donation receipts and the knowledge that your work genuinely helps people
