This is the yard
Our North Shore office and yard are in Northbrook, on Maria Avenue off Shermer Road. Crews start from here and loads come back here to be sorted before anything is disposed of, so this village gets the shortest lead times we can offer — a morning booking is often an afternoon pickup. The housing is mostly 1950s to 1970s ranches and split-levels, with steady teardown and rebuild work adding renovation debris to the mix.

How we work in Northbrook
How Our Garbage Hauling Service Works
Three ways to book a Northbrook pickup: the online form, a phone call, or a text with photos.
The form takes your address, roughly what is going, and a preferred window. Because the yard is in the village, a Northbrook booking made in the morning can often be collected the same afternoon. A fixed price and a slot come back before dispatch.
Call (224) 571-9980. This is the number for the Northbrook office rather than a central call center, so the person you speak to knows which crews are out and what is still open today.
Text photos for a same-day estimate. For local jobs the turnaround is usually under an hour during working hours, since the yard is a few minutes from most Northbrook addresses.
Whether it is a garage that has filled up over twenty years, post-storm debris from the tree canopy, or a single item too heavy to move alone, the process is the same: a price agreed before anything is lifted, the crew doing the carrying, and the load brought back to the yard to be sorted. Yard waste and bulky items are handled on the same visit.
F.a.q
7 Most Frequently Asked Questions About Our Junk And Trash Removal Services
How fast can you get here?
Faster than anywhere else we serve, because the yard is in the village. A Northbrook job booked in the morning is frequently collected the same afternoon, and next-day is close to standard. The busier weeks are spring, when garages and basements get cleared at once, and late summer during moving season. Anything tied to a closing date gets scheduled backwards from the date rather than squeezed into a gap.
What does the North Shore office cover?
Northbrook is the base for the northern suburbs, and the same yard dispatches to Glenview, Deerfield, Highland Park, Winnetka, Libertyville and Buffalo Grove, along with Glencoe, Wheeling, Prospect Heights, Long Grove and Lincolnshire. Chicago itself is run from a separate office on Peterson Avenue. If you are unsure which one covers you, the address decides it and we sort that at booking.
What happens after the truck leaves?
It comes back here. Loads are sorted at the yard rather than driven straight to a transfer station, which is the part most people never see. Furniture in usable condition is set aside for donation partners, televisions and computers go to a certified e-waste recycler, and metal, cardboard and appliances are separated for scrap. Only what has no remaining route gets tipped, and that is a smaller share of the load than most people expect.
How is the price worked out?
By volume, meaning the share of the truck bed your load fills, quoted on site before anything is lifted. Smaller loads start at around $99. Access affects the labor rather than the volume, so a basement carry costs more than the same pile beside an open garage. Heavy fill such as concrete, brick and tile is priced by weight instead, since weight rather than space drives that disposal cost. Ranges are on the pricing page.
What can you not take?
Paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, pool and lawn chemicals, asbestos and medical waste all stay off the truck. Northbrook is in Cook County, so those go to a Cook County household hazardous waste collection rather than the Lake County facilities used by Deerfield and Highland Park just north. Fully dried latex paint is generally fine on an ordinary load. If you are unsure, texting a photo is quicker than guessing.
Do I need to prepare anything first?
No, nothing is needed from you. The crew arrives with the truck, dollies, straps, moving blankets and hand tools, and does the loading. You do not need to bag items, drag them to the curb, or stage them in the driveway, though moving what you can into one room or the garage will shorten the job and can reduce the labor portion of the quote. If things are spread across several floors, mention it when booking so we send enough crew.
Do you clear the commercial units off Shermer Road?
Yes. The industrial stretch near the yard has workshops, small warehousing and trade units, and the work there is old racking, workbenches, pallets, office furniture and machinery. Most of those buildings have a dock or roller door, which makes loading quicker than a house, though several restrict hours. Being a few minutes away helps on jobs that need more than one trip in a day. Give us the unit and any dock restrictions when booking.
