Junk Hauling in Lakemoor: Lily Lake Cottages and New Construction
Two Lakemoors sit side by side. One is the old village around Lily Lake, where small houses stand close together and a lot of them started as weekend cottages. The other is the newer neighborhoods that went up later, with wider streets, attached garages and full basements.
The old side gives us sheds, porches and crawl spaces full of things that have been there for decades. Metal lawn chairs. A boat trailer tire. Lake toys. The new side gives us the usual young-household overflow: outgrown cribs, a sectional that didn't fit the new room, boxes of who knows what. Same crew, same flat price, either side.
Lakemoor Junk Removal Pricing by the Truck Load
We charge by volume. The more room your stuff takes in the truck, the more it costs, in four steps: quarter, half, three-quarter and full. That number has the labor, the loading, the sweep-up and the disposal in it already. No hourly rate. No fuel surcharge. No fee for stairs or for heavy items.
Lakemoor sits on the county line. For addresses on the Lake County side, there's no extra charge for distance, same as everywhere else in the county. If your address is on the McHenry County side, text it along with your photo and we'll confirm the price before the truck leaves. Either way you approve the number first. More detail is on how our pricing works.
Couch, Furniture and Mattress Pickup in Lakemoor
Old cottages weren't built for today's furniture. Doorways are narrow and hallways turn hard. Getting a couch out can be tougher than getting it in was. Our couch and furniture haulers deal with tight exits all the time, and you won't pay more because it's awkward.
Mattresses pile up in lake houses, where every spare room and porch got a bed for summer guests. If you're clearing out three or four at once, our mattress removal service takes them all in one stop, box springs and frames included.
Old Appliance Removal: Fridges, Freezers, Washers and Water Heaters
The garage fridge. The basement freezer that died with food in it. The washer that walked across the floor one last time. We haul them all, along with dryers, ranges, dishwashers and water heaters. Disconnect what you can. If a water heater is still plumbed in, have it drained and cut loose before we come.
Appliance haul-away doesn't end at the curb. Fridges and freezers hold refrigerant, and that has to be recovered before the shell can be scrapped. The steel goes to scrap recycling after that.
Scheduling a Pickup in Lakemoor Off Route 120
Text the photo. Get the price. Pick the slot. Same-day and next-day openings are common, and we run Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm, with Sunday by appointment. Most jobs here get quoted from a picture. For a whole-house job we'll come take a free look first, which takes about 15 minutes.
Around Lily Lake the streets are narrow and parking is whatever the lot allows, so tell us where a truck can stop. In the newer neighborhoods it's usually a straight shot up the driveway. You don't need to be there. Leave things where we can reach them, or tell us how to get in, and approve the price by text.
Yard Waste, Brush and Basement Cleanouts Near Moraine Hills
Lakemoor backs up to a lot of green. Moraine Hills State Park is right next door, and plenty of yards have mature trees that drop limbs in every storm. Yard waste can't go to a landfill in Illinois, so it has to be handled on its own. We do that. Our brush and limb hauling covers branches, hedge trimmings, old landscape timbers and torn-down fencing.
Homes near water can end up with damp basements. When boxes, rugs and particleboard furniture get wet, they don't come back. A basement junk cleanout gets the ruined stuff out so the space can dry. We haul. We don't do cleaning or water damage repair.
What Happens to Junk We Haul Out of Lakemoor
We don't just dump the truck. Every load gets sorted. Things that still work or still look good go to donation. Metal goes to a scrap recycler. TVs, monitors and other electronics go to an electronics recycler, because Illinois bans them from landfills. The remainder is taken to a licensed transfer station.
If you want something specific kept out of the trash, say so when we load. A good table or a working dryer is worth setting aside.
What Stays Behind: Paint, Fuel and Other Hazards
We can't take wet paint, solvents, motor oil, gasoline, propane tanks, asbestos, ammunition or medical waste. Old lake sheds are full of this stuff: half cans of paint, a gas can for the outboard, a grill tank. Line those up on one side and we'll clear the rest.
For the chemicals, Lake County residents can use the household chemical waste collection that SWALCO runs. We also don't rent dumpsters, demolish buildings, move households or clean. Folks over in Volo and up around Fox Lake hear the same list.
