Haul away
in Peoria, IL.
We show up, load it, and it's gone. No dumpster sitting in your driveway. No hauling it yourself. Just call Gonzo.
What haul away actually means.
Haul away service is the fastest way to clear a space. You point at what needs to go. Efren and the crew carry it out, load it into the truck, and dispose of it responsibly. You don't lift a finger.
Haul away is different from junk removal in name only - it's the same service, the same crew, the same process. Peoria residents call it hauling away, junk pickup, dump run. Whatever you call it, we handle it.

Quick Facts
It goes by five names.
It is one job.
People call asking for junk pickup, junk hauling, rubbish removal, garbage removal, or trash removal and disposal. Those are the same phone call, and this is it: we show up, we carry it out, and it leaves in our truck. There is nothing to pick between, and the price does not change based on which word you used.
Mixed piles are fine. Furniture on top of bagged household waste on top of a broken fixture and half a fence goes in one load, and none of it needs sorting before we get there. Disposal is already inside the number we quote, so the transfer-station fee is not something that appears at the end.

Who Gets Weekly Pickup
We are not the city and we are not trying to be. Inside Peoria city limits, weekly household collection is already paid for on your property tax bill and handled by the hauler the city contracts. What we do there is the part that bin will not hold: the bulk item, the overflow, the pile left after a cleanout.
Outside the city, and for businesses, apartments, and multi-family anywhere we work, a standing weekly or biweekly schedule is genuinely open. The whole breakdown, and which one you fall under, is on the trash pickup page. A one-time pile is still the everyday work.

Haul Away FAQ.
How much does haul away service cost in Peoria?
Haul away pricing in the Peoria area starts at $130 for a single item pickup and ranges up to $850 for a full trailer load. Sizes in between: 1/8 load $180, 1/4 load $250, half load $500, 3/4 load $650. We price by volume - the more space your load takes in the truck, the more it costs. We give you a firm quote before we start, with no surprise fees at the end.
What's the difference between haul away service and dumpster rental?
With haul away service, Gonzo's team does all the work - we carry items out, load them, and dispose of them properly. With a dumpster, you load it yourself over several days and it gets picked up later. Haul away is usually faster, needs no permit, and you pay only for what we actually remove. That said, a dumpster genuinely is the better fit for some jobs, like a long remodel where debris piles up over weeks. If that sounds like yours, Efren drops his own dump trailer for that, 7ft by 14ft with 6ft mesh sides, and our crew can still load it if you would rather not.
Can you haul away items from inside my home?
Yes. We carry items out from any floor, including basements, attics, and upper levels. No extra charge for stairs in most cases - just let us know when you call so we can plan the job.
How quickly can you do a haul away pickup in Peoria or Dunlap?
Same-day haul away is available most days in the Peoria metro including Dunlap, Pekin, East Peoria, and Morton. Call or text (708) 690-8005 and we'll confirm availability. Booking a day ahead is the safest bet if you have a hard deadline.
What happens to the items you haul away?
We sort as we go. Usable furniture, working appliances, and good-condition items go to local donation centers. Metal gets recycled. Only what can't be reused or recycled ends up at the landfill. We aim for up to 60% diversion.
Do you haul away construction debris and renovation waste?
Yes - drywall, lumber, old flooring, tile, cabinets, fixtures, and general remodel waste are all fair game. Construction debris is priced by volume the same as household junk. Large renovation projects may require multiple trips depending on volume.
