North Shore Hauling - Junk Removal & Hauling

Straightforward hauling, priced before we start

North Shore Hauling does one thing: we take away the things that are too big, too heavy or too awkward for you to move yourself, and we do it without the parts of this business that make people dread calling. No hourly clock running while somebody walks to the truck. No price that goes up once the crew sees the basement stairs. No surcharge for the disposal fee at the other end.

The model is simple. You send a photo or we come look. You get a flat number based on how much space the load takes up. If you say yes, we carry it out, sweep up behind ourselves, and take it away. If you say no, that costs nothing and there is no follow up call.

What happens to it afterwards

A load that leaves your house does not go straight into a hole in the ground. Furniture and household goods in serviceable condition go to donation where they meet the intake standards. Metal goes to scrap. Electronics go to a registered electronics recycler, which is not a preference but a legal requirement in Illinois. What is left over - the genuinely broken, soiled and unusable - goes to a licensed transfer station.

Who we work for

Homeowners clearing a garage or a basement. Families handling an estate. Landlords turning over a unit. Contractors who need tear-out gone before the next trade shows up. Real estate agents with a closing date and a house full of what the seller left behind. Property managers, offices and small retail. The job changes; the way it is priced does not.

How it works

Four steps, no surprises at the end

01

Send a photo

Text a picture of the pile, the room or the item. Most jobs can be priced from that without anybody coming out.

02

Get a number

You get a flat, all-in price covering labor, loading, sweep-up and disposal fees. Not an hourly rate that moves.

03

Pick 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.

04

We 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.

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.
