Water Heater Removal
In Oakbrook Terrace
Old gas or electric water heater hauled out of the basement and recycled. We drain it, disconnect it, and carry it up the stairs.
Your Old Water Heater, Carried Out and Recycled
An old water heater is one of the heaviest single things in a house, forty to fifty gallons of steel tank that holds its weight even after the water is drained. Most sit in a basement or a tight utility closet, wedged behind the furnace with pipe and fittings still attached. We handle the whole job: shut the water, drain the tank, disconnect the gas or electric, and carry it out without banging up your walls or stairs. The steel goes to a scrapper, not a landfill. You pay by the load, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Oakbrook Terrace runs its refuse through the curbside program, and a hot water tank counts as a white good, so it is a scheduled pickup rather than something you leave at the curb on a normal Monday. That works if you can wait and get the unit out to the setout spot yourself. We cover Oakbrook Terrace from Plainfield by way of I-88 and Route 83, pull the heater straight from the basement, and take it the same day when the schedule allows.
Water Heaters We Haul
Gas tank heaters
Forty and fifty gallon gas units drained, disconnected at the gas line, and carried out whole.
Electric tank heaters
Electric units with the breaker off and the wiring disconnected before we move them.
Tankless units
Wall-mounted tankless heaters pulled off the mount with the vent and lines capped clean.
Basement carry-out
Tanks hauled up from finished basements and tight mechanical rooms without scuffing the walls.
Drained first
We drain the tank down before it moves so nothing spills on your floor.
Metal recycled
The steel tank goes to a scrap yard, not into a landfill.
How It Works
Text a photo of the old unit and where it sits, and we send a flat price by the load. On the visit we close the supply valve, drain the tank down, break the gas or electric connection, and walk it out on our own. Nothing gets dragged across your floor or left for you to deal with. The tank is recycled for its steel.

What Customers Are Saying
"Highly recommend On It Junk Removal. They showed up right on time, worked quickly, and handled everything with care. Communication was easy from start to finish, and the pricing was very reasonable."
"ONIT took our hot tub, waterlogged cover, AND disconnected the electricity. Nowhere else that I called would disconnect it… They were in and out within the hour with no debris or signs that they had even been there."
"The crew was quick and responsive. Easy to work with and transparent. Last minute job. Thank you!!"

Questions
No. We close the supply valve and drain the tank down ourselves so it moves clean. Just point us to it and we take it from there.
Yes. We break the gas union or shut the breaker and disconnect the wiring before we carry the unit out. If a licensed plumber or electrician already capped it for a replacement, even easier.
The town's hauler treats a hot water tank as a white good, so it is a scheduled pickup and you still have to get it out to the setout spot. We pull it from wherever it sits inside and haul it the same day when we can. Call (815) 240-0735.
We cover Oakbrook Terrace along with Villa Park, Lombard, Elmhurst, Oak Brook and Downers Grove, all reachable off I-88 and Route 83 from Plainfield.
