Declutter Before the New Year: Holiday Junk Removal Tips for Chicago Residents
The holiday season in Chicago is full of celebrations, family gatherings, and memorable moments—but it often leaves homes overflowing with clutter. From gift packaging to decorations, the post-holiday mess can quickly take over your living spaces. The New Year is the perfect time to reclaim your home and start 2026 with a fresh, organized environment. With professional junk removal services from Smash Bros Junk & Demolition, tackling holiday clutter is simple and stress-free.
Start with a Holiday Property Cleanout
The first step in post-holiday decluttering is a thorough property cleanout. Smash Bros helps Chicago homeowners safely and efficiently remove unwanted items from overflowing basements, garages, and cluttered living rooms. Their property cleanouts and trash services cover everything from old furniture to packaging waste, leaving your home organized and clutter-free.
Tips for a Successful Holiday Cleanout
Prioritize high-traffic areas: Focus on spaces where holiday activities created the most mess.
Sort items efficiently: Separate trash, donations, and items to keep.
Schedule professional help: A local team can save time and prevent injury when removing heavy or bulky items.

Remove Old or Unused Appliances
Holidays often bring gifts and upgrades that render older appliances unnecessary. Instead of letting them take up space, professional home and appliance removal ensures items like refrigerators, washers, dryers, and other large appliances are safely hauled away. This service saves homeowners the stress and risk of DIY removal while freeing up space for new items.
Why Professional Appliance Removal Matters
