Apply NowWhat the Work Looks Like
Hauling is physical work. You will be outdoors, moving items, problem-solving on the fly. Efren is on every job, so you are never left figuring things out alone. Most of our crew does not own a truck - Efren picks everyone up.
- Furniture, appliances, and household clutter
- Yard debris: branches, dirt, rock, fencing, and shed tear-downs
- Construction waste: drywall, flooring, cabinets, and scrap
- Garage, basement, and estate cleanouts
No truck required.
Efren picks up the crew before each job. If you are in the Peoria area and can be ready on time, the logistics are handled.
Schedule
Jobs typically run Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM. Hours per job vary. Flexible scheduling for the right people.
Compensation
Pay is discussed at hire and based on experience and availability. We are upfront about what to expect.
Location
Based in Dunlap, IL. Jobs run across Peoria, East Peoria, Pekin, Bloomington, and surrounding areas.
Why Work Here
We are a small operation with a clear standard. Here is what that looks like for the people on our crew.
Learn a Real Trade
Every job teaches you something. Junk removal is physical, skilled work. You will learn how to handle large items safely, operate in tight spaces, and manage a jobsite.
Work With the Owner Directly
Efren is on every single job. No middle managers, no corporate policies. If you have a question or concern, you talk to the guy running the show.
Vet and First-Responder Friendly
We were built by a veteran and we understand what service looks like. If you come from military, law enforcement, or fire, you will fit right in.
Local, Not Corporate
Speedy Gonzo's is not a franchise. No call centers, no national quotas. Every dollar you earn comes from real local jobs with real local customers.
