The cleanup after the work

The project is done. Get your space back.

The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.

Choose a door, toilet or bathroom vanity and see the price online. Each listed item has its own price, so you can settle the cost before booking.

Match your item

Construction cleanup starts with the right items.

We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.

Doors

Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.

Toilets

Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.

Bathroom vanities

Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

    Have the fixtures empty and ready at ground level. Keep them apart from rubble, loose renovation materials, tools and anything you want to keep.

  3. Show the outdoor handoff

    Use a permitted outdoor spot with a clear path. Add a location photo and notes on your order page so the right entrance and the right items are easy to identify.

Construction and remodeling debris

Special rules apply

Remodeling material is not cart waste or a routine bulk item, so it moves as a scheduled special pickup charged by the yard or as a roll-off container.

City cost & eligibility
LRS provides an estimate for a special refuse collection or a DIY construction pickup, and drywall, plywood, paneling, lumber, doors, windows, cabinets, porcelain fixtures, sod, fencing, concrete and rocks are charged by the yard, so confirm the estimate and the preparation instructions before the load goes out.
When & how
Schedule the special pickup with LRS, or arrange a roll-off container for a larger project, and follow the preparation instructions LRS gives for the material.
Get it ready
Separate and stack the material so it can be measured by the yard, keep it out of the garbage and recycling carts and away from the weekly bulk item, and keep hazardous material out of the load entirely because the chemical waste program is a separate appointment based route.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

One bulk item a week, and everything else by appointment

A single bulk item such as furniture, a bed frame or a mattress may sit next to the trash cart on the regular collection day. A second item, anything over 50 pounds, and any item needing extra labor or equipment has to be scheduled with LRS at least 24 hours ahead and is charged directly, and LRS will give a cost estimate for a special refuse collection.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

A Waukegan household that hauls its own material has three routes. Electronics go to the city dumpster at the Public Works yard on McAree Road on weekdays, or to a SWALCO year round drop-off such as the Wauconda site on North Old Rand Road, which is free to Lake County residents with no appointment and a limit of seven items per visit. Tires go to a separate dumpster in the same Public Works yard and have to be off the rims, and the textile bin just outside the gate is open around the clock. Household chemicals, paint, batteries, bulbs and pool products go to the SWALCO facility at 1311 N. Estes Street in Gurnee, which takes residential waste only and works by appointment twice a month except December, with mobile events from April through October. Leftover architectural paint can also go to a PaintCare retailer, and household batteries are free at the SWALCO collection and special material events.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Waukegan.

How much does construction debris removal cost in Waukegan?

Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.

Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in Waukegan?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.

Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?

The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.

Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?

Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.

Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?

Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.

Can construction material go out with the trash?

No. Remodeling waste such as drywall, plywood, paneling, lumber, doors, windows, cabinets, porcelain fixtures, sod, fencing, concrete and rocks requires a scheduled special pickup, and the city page groups building materials with the extra pickups that have to be arranged with LRS in advance.Official guidance

How is a remodeling load charged?

LRS estimates the load and charges construction material by the yard, and the estimate comes before the pickup. A larger project can use one of the roll-off containers the same company offers for construction debris.Official guidance

What is a special refuse collection?

It is the route LRS uses for an item that needs extra labor or equipment, such as a sleeper sofa, construction debris or a television console, when it goes beyond the single weekly bulk item. LRS gives a cost estimate and does not guarantee that every item can be collected.Official guidance
