The History of Flood Brothers
1930
1930 The Flood family vision started with one truck and one employee at 139 N. Clark Street in Chicago.
1963
Starting with one employee and a single truck emblazoned with “We have a trade that service made”, we operated at 139 N. Clark Street, Chicago, from 1930 to 1963. Providing great service spurred growth that required us to move to larger facilities at 5435 W. Chicago Avenue. As expansion continued, we moved to 1025 W. Monroe Street in 1970, 3017 N. Kedzie Avenue in 1975, 2520 W. Huron Street in 1977, and finally, 4827 W. Harrison Street in 1979. The Harrison Street location remains our center of operations, with our office headquarters located in Oakbrook Terrace.
1988
In 1988, Flood Brothers became the first licensed special waste hauler in Chicago, expanding operations to include a fully automated recycling center for the Chicagoland community in 1990. In 1992, our recycling center was the first ever to service the initial Chicago Recycling program for the 12th, 31st, and 41st ward.
1995
Furthering our commitment to our customers, Flood Brothers launched our first container fabrication and repair facility.
1996
We opened an additional facility in Carol Stream to further service our continued expansion to suburban residents and businesses.
2007
As technology evolved, so did our trucks to meet the new diesel emission standards.
2015
The 5th generation of the Flood family joins Flood Brothers, who now employs over 100 staff members in the City of Chicago and the greater Chicagoland area.
2017
We opened an additional facility in Lake in the Hills to further service our continued expansion to suburban residents and businesses.
What Our Customers Say
-
I wanted to take a moment to share what a wonderful experience our family has had with one of your employees, John (JJ) this summer. Our 5-year-old son, Hudson, has been fascinated by garbage trucks for as long as we can remember. With both my husband and I being teachers, we are home during the…
They review and evaluate our many locations and make it their business to know ours. They’ve saved us 50% in disposal costs in some cases…not to mention the pro bono work of hauling away extra waste from time to time.
We’ve used Flood for more than 20 years. You can’t beat them for reliable service. And for special pickups, we call and they’re on the way!
My name is Margaret N., and I am a resident in the Berkshire Subdivision since 2002. During these years the Flood Brothers Disposal Co. has been removing my recyclables and trash every week without fail. I have never had any complaints with their service.
Flood Brothers is a family company. They do things in their own quiet way because it’s the right thing to do, not because they’re looking for recognition.
