Discard, Donate & Recycle
Discard, Donate & Recycle Services in Chicago
Decluttering is only half the battle, you still need to actually get unwanted items out of your home. Our discard, donate, and recycle service handles all the logistics of removing items you no longer need, from coordinating donation pickups to arranging consignment for valuable pieces. The biggest reason decluttering projects stall? Removing items requires researching donation centers, scheduling pickups, and transporting heavy furniture, tasks most people don’t have time for. Items end up piling in garages and basements labeled “donate” for months or even years. We eliminate that bottleneck completely, ensuring your decluttering efforts result in actual clear spaces, not just relocated clutter.
