Metro did a fantastic job all around and were so, so easy to work with. We left our junk in a pile and even though I couldn't be around, they stopped by, picked it up and cleanly got everything. No hassle, no issue. I really appreciate how quick and simple the process was. They were a very reasonable price as well. We would definitely go with them again if we ever needed more junk removed. Thank you very much! read more

Metro Junk did a fantastic job for me recently. Marion came and looked at the job and promptly gave me an estimate that was reasonable. He was able to schedule his crew on the day that worked best for me. There was communication by email, text and phone throughout the process. Francisco, Scott and Nacho got there on time and worked quickly to remove everything the movers had not taken the day before, even dusty old boards and bricks. They emptied the house in a couple of hours. They were cheerful and professional. It could not have gone more smoothly. I highly recommend this company! read more

Metro is top tier. I am a new homeowner in Oak Park IL. And this team was readily available when needed. I started working on home projects; I had to dispose carpet and construction material that would have cost a lot to remove. Metro has very competitive pricing and very responsive. I prefer communication through text; they are prompt on guidance and follow direction. They are very punctual on all time commitments, all through text/call. When they were unsure of a project removal request, they came out to get a visual look before commitment, with no additional fees. Marion and Francisco have great vibes and hired a great team. Their team consisted of colleges kids on college break and they were hard workers. I would definitely hire them if I were you. If you're looking for quick removal with fair market rates, call this business . A+++++++ Kyle read more

Marion helped me on short notice and went above and beyond! I was left with a terrible mess when I had to get a non paying tenant to move out. Marion took care of everything! I highly recommend Metro Junk Removal! read more

We had a few heavy pieces that needed to be removed. I was easily able to get a price quote and schedule a pick up with Metro Junk Removal. I was very impressed with their service and would highly recommend this company. The crew was on time, extremely careful and professional. The cost was reasonable, we felt that it was a great choice! read more

Responsive, fast, and affordable. David and Nick came for the removal. They were very friendly, let me know when they were on their way, arrived during the scheduled window, and removed the furniture with care. Highly recommend. read more

Needed a heavy exercise bike removed from the second floor of home. Received a quote quickly, and set up an appointment. On the appointment day the team arrived on time and had the bike removed within 5 minutes. Excellent service!! It was well worth the price quoted. Recommended!! read more

Metro Junk has been wonderful to work with. First, Marion gave a great price on a dumpster and was on-time and consistent in dropoff, pickup and communication. We then had a crew come out to remove large items a couple of weeks later. The crew was friendly, professional and worked fast. It could not have been easier, and for the right price. I highly recommend Metro Junk. read more

Had Metro come out to remove some heavy furniture was very reliable the quote was right on the head. Fast and efficient, clean up after also. Call them you will not be sorry!! read more

Cleaning out an elderly loved ones home for sale is never an easy task. Bridget, Lynn, Frank, Lee, Bucky, and the others were so sensitive to the fact that this was an emotional day for me. They treated me, my mother's stuff (even though it was garbage), and the home so respectfully. They were fast, honest, and a better price than other large name "junk removal" companies. I would recommend them over and over for any cleanup large or small. A really top notch crew and a locally owned business. read more

I called Metro and within 15 minutes Marion called me and within 30 minutes after I talked to him he came out to my home. He gave me a Great price on removing all the items that I needed to dispose of. Three of his men showed up within the next hour and packed everything up and took everything away. All three men were very professional and all had a very good attitude. I would definitely recommend this company to everyone who needs a great company with friendly workers!!! read more

Have used them a couple of times over the years. They are punctual, friendly, and efficient. Happy with their work and the price.

I have used this company in the past without issue. This time, however, it didn't go smoothly. I found there are different phone numbers; one for the main office and another to text, however I didn't discover this until I was in a pinch and couldn't wait to hire another company. Marion got a little testy, accusing me of not returning calls, emails, texts. Any communication seemed to be system generated. Too much confusion. I was charged $200 to remove a computer desk, which was taken apart, and a small cabinet. A lot of $$$ for so much aggravation. read more

Very reasonable cost. Prompt and courteous. They were very careful not to scratch walls and doors during removal. Highly recommended!

So grateful to Lynn and Frankie for another amazing job assisting us with purging and organizing moving to storage etc. today was a garage and basement project. They are just a delight to work with and the quote was spot on too. Worth every penny. Before/after pics included. read more

See all

Marion provided great communication from the start of me inquiring on a quote. I needed an old couch hauled away. While timing for removal of the old couch was not an immediate need, the sooner the couch could be gone the better. Marion and I were in contact on a Monday morning to schedule the couch removal and he understood my request and flexibility. Marion knew for a fact there was an opening the next day at 9am and scheduled my removal service for that time which was fine with me. Marion indicated if his guys could swing by today that they were happy to do so. A couple hours later Marion contacted me and said his guys could come by in an hour or so to pick up the couch. I was happy to hear this. Francisco and Bucky arrived right on time and got right to business. They were both very professional and friendly. There were detailed in their work to make sure not to scuff any walls, knock anything, etc.. I was appreciative of that. Francisco and Bucky were at my place for about 15ish, maybe 20 minutes and the job was done. Payment was easy with my credit card and there was an option to tip on the card which was nice as I did not have any cash on me (though I know cash is typically preferred). Overall, I had a great experience with Metro Junk Removal from communication, timeliness, and professionalism. No complaints here! Would definitely recommend their company to others and use them in the future if I need anything removed again. read more

Marion and his team were amazing. I called late one afternoon and he came by the next morning to take a look. He sent me a quote, I approved over txt and within minutes I was notified that I was scheduled for pickup. They got to it within the hour and I couldn't even tell my pile was ever there when I got home. I couldn't recommend Metro Junk Removal enough. Thanks Marion, from a very satisfied customer! read more

Marion and his team are wonderful people. They cam in and assisted my partner and I in emptying my late father-in-law's house after he passed away unexpectedly last year. As we don't live in the Chicago area, he was very kind about connecting with a local friend to get into the house to do an estimate for us, explained what parts of the job he would be most useful for and what we could do more economically ourselves, and was basically a joy to work with during a very trying time for our family. I highly recommend him for whatever junk-removal needs you have; he's worth every penny. read more

Marion and his team are very professional. . .very honest and efficient and responsive. Marion had a very calm and engaging spirit. Great and sincere customer service attitude. I needed to have old furniture hauled away-approximately 15 pieces of furniture (heavy dressers, hope chest, old tube tv, foot locker, heavy wood cocktail table, bed frame and wood scraps. After reading the reviews, I emailed a request for a quote. I also requested quotes from two other service. All three responded within 60-90 minutes. Marion called me to get more details and I appreciated being able to talk with him. Shortly after our call (within 10 minutes), Marion emailed the quote. It was extremely fair, reasonable so I approved the quote and I decided to hire Marion and his team. I was not disappointed. After approving the quote and scheduling the pick-up date and time, Marion texted a confirmation including the signed quote price. On the scheduled day, I received a text informing me Marion and his crew were on their way. Marion arrived approximately 10-15 minutes before the crew to meet us and familiarize himself with our building's parking situation.(We had roofing contractors and dumpster in our lot and as a result, limited access to our back door parking lot.) We had staged most of the furniture in the hallway of our condo building to help make it more accessible for the crew. We only had a couple hours available for Marion and his crew to haul away our stuff. After his team arrived, Marion introduced us and politely left to move on to his next customer. His team (I believe there were 3-5 gentlemen, yes, young gentlemen, very professional) were SO efficient. They moved so quickly. I believe it only took 20-25 minutes. I will definitely call Marion again. He and the Metro team will be my first and only choice. Thanks Marion! read more

I've hired these guys twice when we rehabbed two of the units of our multi family building. They are quick, reasonable, and courteous. I could not ask for more read more

Metro Junk Removal moved several heavy items in my home to prepare for basement waterproofing--then they returned a few days later and moved the items back. Marion, Lynn, Francisco and Bucky all worked together to ensure that everything was moved safely and swiftly. They provided me with a fair estimate, their text alerts were helpful, and the workers arrived right on time. Marion and Lynn were great at providing the logistics of moving my appliances, etc., within a relatively tight space. From the very beginning I knew I was in good hands, and that this otherwise nerve-wracking job would go smoothly. They go above and beyond, and I recommend them highly. (Reasonable rates too!) read more

When the lazy workers of the Salvation Army refused to take my clean leather sleeper sofa I decided to try Metro Junk Removal. Boy, I'm glad I did! The guys were the complete opposite of the Salvation Army "gents". MJR were professional, courteous and priced right. They were quick and clean throughout the process. I plan on using Metro again for my junk removal needs in the near future. Highly recommended!! read more

Punctual and competitively priced service! I needed some junk out and they dealt with it fast and at a great price.

These guys are great! Save yourself the time, and more importantly, money, by skipping the big, national companies, and give these guys a call. They are very courteous, professional and fair. read more

When I first learned of this company from a neighbor, I had no idea of the comprehensive services they could provide. They are so much more than "Junk Removal". It never occurred to me to engage a team to help "get ready to move". However, from their professional and timely arrival, it was visibly obvious that I was now about to move. Within a short period, we had identified furnishings to pack, donate, sell or toss. Special attention and care were obvious in all phases of the move. This team was capable and ready to assist me with every challenge that comes with a project of this magnitude. Marion was even able to assist me with making donations to charitable organizations. I have no regrets and only positive comments to share about my experiences with Metro. I doubt if anyone who ever retain the services of this team of professionals will have any regrets. I highly recommend this company for a variety of moving related tasks. read more

Great company. Very professional. Quick and efficient. Would highly recommend. They even swept out the garage when they were done. Hasn't looked that good in years. read more

My husband and I had a huge task finding a reputable and reliable removal business. We live in CALIFORNIA but my father-in-law's home was in ILLINOIS. I initially choose Metro Junk Removal based on the reviews. But my final decision was made on my first conversation with Marion. Marion spoke highly of his employees, he praised them and spoke highly of their loyalty to him and his business. He provided us with an estimate on photos we provided of the home. He had to give his best "guesstimate" on the garage because we did not have photos available. The garage and the home were "packed". We accepted the guesstimate knowing it would probably be more. When Marion's crew actually starting working on the job I was confident I had made the right choice with Metro Junk Removal-Oak Park. Everyone was constantly moving and being productive. I could see everyone had worked together before, they joked with each other, they all got along well. Our job lasted a week so my husband and I got to know everyone fairly well. At one point it looked like the job might not get done before the initial timeline but knowing the "unknowns" Marion had face, we accepted the reality. Marion surprised us by pulling together a crew of 6 to put in some extra time ! We learned later that in that push his crew had found a significant amount of money in the basement. The crew gave the plastic container to Marion and he gave it to us. ***There was so many things that could have gone wrong but every step of the way Marion and his crew worked hard to help us get back home with peace of mind because of a job well done*** My husband and I highly recommend Metro Junk Removal-Oak Park, Illinois. His employees are hard working, honest and respectful. They all gave us 150% effort on a very difficult job. Marion was there every day for a week overseeing and helping with the difficult task. Marion is a wonderful person and I feel blessed in getting to know him and having him do the job for us." read more

Marion and his team were amazing, from start to finish this was a seamless process. Marion was extremely responsive and helpful when booking my last minute appointment for a bunch of furniture and other random items to get rid of due to an upcoming move. The incredible team was in and out of my apartment in about half an hour for a price that was much less than their competitors. They also kept us laughing the entire time, something that I needed during a very stressful moving week! I will 100 percent be using metro junk for all of my future junk needs. read more

Marion called me immediately upon receiving my Yelp message and came out a few days later to collect a rusty, broken basketball hoop. He was very nice and polite. read more

I was cleaning out my basement in preparation for selling our house and ended up with a whole bunch of stuff that I just didn't know how to get rid of. I called Metro Junk Removal and they came out the same day, quoted me a great price and cleared everything out, all within a couple of hours. I'm very lucky to have found these guys and will be using them again, for sure. read more

Great service! Prompt quote and cleaned out my attic rooms including closets and crawl spaces. Also, took a sofa and large combo washer/dryer. It was a tight squeeze but they managed it beautifully. Pulled up an old carpet from two rooms and stairs which I truly appreciated. Very reasonably priced also. Nice and friendly team, such a pleasure to work with. I could not be happier! I highly recommend their services to everyone! read more

Marion came out to my home for a free estimate within an hour of our speaking on the phone. He was very helpful in assessing what we needed removed (a long cedar fenceline that had been stockpiled inside our garage) and instead of selling me his services, recommended how we could do it ourselves more cheaply. Marion gave me 2 separate contacts for less expensive options, and his recommendations were just what we needed - prompt, responsive, ideal. I am taking the trouble to review Metro Junk, even though we never actually used their services, because this kind of honesty and integrity can seem hard to find these days, and I am grateful for it!! read more

This company is like a group of angels that moves in to help the overwhelmed, distraught and junk challenged people of the world. Worth every penny! The staff is fabulous and Marion is great. With 30 years of stuff in my basement we were 1/2 way done in 1/2 a day! Can't say enough about these guys. Just wonderful. They should add stress busters to their advertising! Valerie C. read more

We had a heavy concrete fountain in the garden that needed to go. This morning I decided that I was tired of looking at it and decided to try to find somebody to haul it away ASAP. The Metro guys returned my call within a couple of minutes and had their crew out within 30 minutes. They were very efficient, very careful and couldn't have been nicer. The price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Metro Junk. read more

Called to have a big pile of nasty old carpet picked up from my yard- before I knew it three super friendly guys were here taking it away for almost half the cost of any of the three other places I called! read more
