Junk Removal Crew Member — The Junkluggers | Elgin, IL $18–$22/hour + tips | Full-time & Part-time | No experience required

Who We Are

The Junkluggers of Chicago NW Suburbs is a locally owned junk removal company built on a simple belief: most "junk" isn't junk at all. We 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.

What You'll Do

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.

What We're Looking For

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

What You'll Earn & Get

$18–$22/hour depending on experience [update with your actual range]

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
