Forest Park's housing is old and dense: 47.8% of homes date from before 1940, with two-flats, larger apartment buildings and houses with basements and tight back stairs. With just over half of homes owner-occupied, that points to apartment move-outs and clearing units between tenants as well as basement cleanouts. The crew carries from any floor with no stair fee, and a move-out house or carpet cleaning can follow the haul.

Questions Forest Park residents ask
Can you load from the alley behind my Forest Park home?
Where there's an alley, yes, and Forest Park has 16 miles of them. Loading from the back keeps the truck off the street. The crew carries everything out from any floor, and the truck stays only as long as we're loading.
Can you clear an apartment in a large Forest Park building?
Yes. About 28.1% of Forest Park homes are in buildings of 20 or more units, so we plan around building rules: send them to us, and we book the elevator or move time with management and carry everything down ourselves. Single items start at $150.
Can you turn over a Forest Park two-flat unit between tenants?
Yes. Two-unit buildings are 15.1% of Forest Park housing, and just over half of homes are owner-occupied. We haul what the last tenant left, down the back stairs at no extra fee, and a move-out house or carpet cleaning can follow so the unit is ready to show.
