The stuff that will not fit in a car, gone in one visit
Most of what people need hauled is not complicated - it is just heavy, awkward, and stuck on the wrong floor of the house. A sleeper sofa in a finished basement, a refrigerator in a second-floor apartment, twenty years of a garage that has not held a car since the kids were small. None of it fits in a car and none of it is going out with the Tuesday pickup.
We bring the truck and the crew, do the carrying, and take it away the same visit. The price is based on how much room your load takes up in the truck and nothing else. Stairs do not add to it. Distance inside Lake County does not add to it. The disposal and recycling fees are already inside the number, so what you are quoted before we start is what you pay when we leave.
We are based in Waukegan and work the whole county, from Winthrop Harbor and Antioch down to Deerfield and Highwood. Residential, commercial, landlords, contractors and estates.

How it works
Four steps, no surprises at the end
- 01Send a photo
Text a picture of the pile, the room or the item. Most jobs can be priced from that without anybody coming out.
- 02Get a number
You get a flat, all-in price covering labor, loading, sweep-up and disposal fees. Not an hourly rate that moves.
- 03Pick a slot
Same-day and next-day are often open. If you are working to a closing or a delivery window, we schedule around it.
- 04We load and go
We carry it out - stairs and basements included - sweep the space and haul it off. You approve the price before anything moves.
Service area
Every town in Lake County
We run the county end to end. Same pricing in Antioch as in Deerfield - the drive is our problem, not a line on your quote. If you are on the McHenry or Cook line and not sure whether you are inside the area, call and ask; the answer is usually yes.
Wisconsin
Across the state line in Wisconsin
Lake County is home, but the work does not stop at the state line. We cover junk removal in Kenosha and Pleasant Prairie right over the border, Somers, Bristol, Paddock Lake and Salem Lakes in Kenosha County, and Mount Pleasant and Sturtevant in Racine County. Same number, same volume pricing, and every load sorted the way Wisconsin's recycling law requires.

Questions
Common questions
Do I need to be home when you come?
No. Plenty of our jobs happen while the customer is at work. If everything coming out is in the garage, on the driveway or in one clearly identified room, send a photo, mark what goes, and we will confirm the load and send pictures when it is clear. If it is a sorting job where things need to be decided on, it goes faster with you there.
How is the price worked out?
By volume - how much space your items take up in the truck, measured in fractions of a load. Labor, loading, sweeping up and the disposal or recycling fees are all included in that number, so the figure you are quoted is the figure you pay. Nothing gets added on at the end for stairs, distance or weight.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
Usually yes, from a photo. Text a picture of the pile, the room or the item and we can give you a number back the same day for most jobs. Larger or more complicated jobs - a whole house, a hot tub with no path out - are worth a quick on-site look, which is free and takes about fifteen minutes.
How soon can you get here?
Same-day and next-day slots are often available, and we schedule Monday through Saturday with Sunday by arrangement. If you are working to a closing date, a lease end or a delivery window, tell us the deadline when you call and we will build around it.
What happens to everything after you take it?
It gets sorted rather than sent straight to a landfill. Usable furniture and household goods go to donation where they meet the intake standards, metal goes to scrap, and electronics go to an electronics recycler because Illinois does not allow them in landfill disposal. What is genuinely waste goes to a licensed transfer station.
Do you take just one item?
Yes. Single mattresses, a lone refrigerator and one old couch are among the most common calls we get. There is a minimum charge that covers the truck and the crew coming out, but there is no requirement to fill the truck to make the trip worth it.
Will you go upstairs or into the basement?
Yes, at no extra charge. Stairs, second-floor bedrooms, walk-up attics and below-grade basements are all part of a normal job. Access does not change the price - only the volume does.
Are there things you cannot take?
A short list, mostly hazardous material: wet paint, solvents, motor oil, gasoline, propane tanks, asbestos, ammunition and medical waste. Lake County runs household hazardous waste collection for most of that, and we will tell you where to take anything we have to leave behind rather than just refusing it.
