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
