Aurora homeowners call Junk Nurse for basement cleanout throughout Aurora and the surrounding Fox Valley. From Stonebridge to East Aurora to the Fox Valley side, we work every corner of Illinois’ second-largest city.
What We Remove in Aurora
Basements are where stuff goes to be forgotten. Then a leak happens, or the house goes on the market, or someone finally has had enough. We work room by room, haul up the stairs (yes, even the tight ones), and clear the whole space out. We work Stonebridge, Orchard Valley, East Aurora, and every neighborhood between — from compact townhomes to acreage properties on the rural fringe.
- Old furniture stored ‘just in case’ for a decade
- Boxes of clothes, books, and paperwork from previous decades
- Holiday decorations, broken toys, and abandoned hobby gear
- Water-damaged carpet, drywall, and shelving
- Old TVs, electronics, and exercise equipment
If you’re not sure whether we’ll take something, just ask. Text a photo to (630) 294-1340. We say yes to almost everything — the only items we won’t haul are household hazardous waste (paint solvents, pesticides, certain chemicals), and even then we’ll tell you exactly where to drop them off locally.
The Junk Nurse Difference in Aurora
Alex Welsch started Junk Nurse after 15 years working as a registered nurse. The nursing approach — show up on time, do the job right, treat the property like it’s yours — carries straight into every basement cleanout job we run in Aurora. We’re $1M liability insured, we have 47+ five-star Google reviews, and the price we quote is the price you pay. Period. No surprise fees at the end, no “we found more weight than expected,” no upsell at the door.
Aurora is big and diverse, so the jobs we run here range from a single couch on a third-floor walk-up to full estate cleanouts in Stonebridge. We know the alleys behind Galena Boulevard and the tight driveways off New York Street — we plan the truck around the property, not the other way around. Aurora is part of our home territory in Kane and DuPage County, not a market we drive into from out of town. We know the streets near the Fox River, we know a mix of historic East Side bungalows, mid-century ranches, and newer subdivisions out past Eola Road, and we know how to get a truck in and out without anyone noticing we were there.
That local knowledge matters more than people think. A driveway in Stonebridge isn’t the same as a driveway in East Aurora. A basement in a 1970s ranch in Aurora isn’t the same as one in a 2015 build. We’ve seen the layouts, we know what gear to bring, and we don’t waste your morning figuring it out on arrival.

How Basement Cleanout Works in Aurora
- Stair check — We look at access first — outside walk-out, interior stairs, bilco doors. Then we quote.
- Full sort and haul — Everything you point to comes out. We take loads up the stairs so you don’t have to.
- Heavy items handled — Old treadmills, sleeper sofas, safes — we have the gear to get them up and out.
- Clean finish — We sweep, sometimes vacuum. Basement looks bigger than it has in 20 years.
Why Aurora Calls Junk Nurse
National chains route their trucks from a dispatcher in another state. Their crews don’t know Aurora, they don’t know which way the traffic moves on Randall Road at 3pm, and they don’t know that the alley behind your block barely fits a pickup. We do. We’ve been working Kane and DuPage County since day one, and we treat every Aurora job like our reputation depends on it — because in a town this size, it does.
Our trucks are clean. Our crews wear uniforms. We text you when we’re 20 minutes out. We park where you want us to park. And when we leave, the only sign we were there is that the basement cleanout you wanted gone is, in fact, gone.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does basement cleanout cost in Aurora, IL?
Most Aurora basement cleanout jobs land in the $350–$1800 range, depending on volume, access, and what we’re hauling. We give you a flat quote up front — not a ‘starting at’ number that goes up when the truck pulls away. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Do you offer same-day basement cleanout in Aurora?
Smaller basement cleanouts often go same-day. Larger full-basement jobs (especially after water damage) we typically schedule 1-3 days out. Aurora is well inside our regular service area, so we can usually get there fast.
Can you do a basement cleanout in a Aurora home with narrow stairs?
Yes — that’s most basements in this area. We bring straps, dollies, and shoulder dollies designed for tight turns. We protect the walls, the railing, and the floor at the top of the stairs.
