"I'm retired and on a limited income, so I shopped around a lot. I had to move my home contents into storage because I'm selling my house. New Planet was local, they were the best price for what I needed done. Everything was handled professionally on time and as promised which is rare these days. I will definitely refer any of my other friends that need assistance to new planet moving & Storage. They did all they could to make it affordable for me and that says a lot"

"they did a very good job. This was a big heavy safe up a significant number of basement stairs. Nothing easy about this job. Paul was responsive via email and phone calls, I sent him pictures of the safe and the stairs, he then provided me a quote and certificates of insurance. We then set up a date for the move. Our regular moving company would not move anything this heavy. The appointment and cost was established. On moving day they were a little delayed because the truck had a flat tire and it was bad weather with heavy rains. They only sent 2 guys and they said that 3 or more would just get in the way. They seemed to know what they were doing and how to handle the job but I could tell it was difficult. The truck did not have their name on it, nor a lift. The 2 guys did a good job, both moving from basement and then in elevator into condo room, moved it as requested to the exact spot. I gave them a check and it was posted the next day. There are limited number of companies that provide this service in the Chicago area and overall I was pleased with the service and the contact Paul provided. The guys were courteous and responsive. They said this is what they did all day long. I thank them for providing this service for us, with no problems in a difficult move. We had the safe moved out of the house a few days prior to the big house move, that helped a lot."

FAQs for waste, junk, building materials and debris removal and hauling projects in Sterling, IL

To throw out stained, broken, or infested mattresses or couches, call a junk hauler or take it to your local landfill yourself. If it’s infested with pests, you might want to call a pest control specialist near you. If you have infested furniture, there's a good chance you have an infested home, too.

Tipping furniture removal services is not mandatory, but it is a thoughtful way to acknowledge their hard work and professionalism. If you're pleased with the service, consider tipping junk haulers 5% to 10% of the total cost or $10 to $20 per worker. This is especially appreciated when the job involves heavy lifting, navigating stairs, or handling bulky items. Tipping not only rewards the workers for a job well done but also fosters a positive working relationship.

If your furniture is in good condition, you have a few options:

  • Donate to charities: Organizations like Goodwill, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, and GreenDrop often accept furniture donations and may offer free pickup services.

  • List online: You can list your items for free on local online marketplaces or community groups to find someone who needs them. Giving away your furniture not only helps you clear space but also benefits others in your community.

The cost to haul away junk depends on the haul’s size. A single item costs $60 to $150 to haul, with each additional item adding $20 to $40 to the total price. Hauling away a full truckload of trash or other junk will run $400 to $800.

Yes, some furniture retailers will haul away your old furniture when they deliver your new items. This service may be included in your purchase price or offered at a discounted rate. It's important to check with the store to see if they provide furniture removal and whether there are any requirements, such as a minimum purchase. Utilizing this service can save you time and effort in disposing of your old furniture.

In many cases, you can dispose of furniture in a dumpster, but regulations vary by location. Some areas prohibit items like mattresses or upholstered furniture due to environmental concerns. It's best to check with your local waste management authorities or dumpster rental company to understand what's allowed.
