A CLEAR LOAD. A CLEAR NEXT STEP.
McHenry moving and junk removal, planned together.
When a McHenry home is changing hands, not everything in it has the same destination. Second Chance can help with moving the belongings you are keeping and removing unwanted furniture. Start with two clear lists and the date you need access to each property.
McHenry, Illinois · McHenry County
Give every McHenry item a destination.
The load going to your next home
List the furniture and boxes to move, then add the destination town and receiving rooms. Mention stairs at both properties, large pieces that may need preparation, and when someone can let the crew in.
The pieces leaving your household
Name each unwanted item and the room it occupies. A sofa in a basement involves different access from a chair in a garage. Keep anything promised to family or a buyer clearly separate from the removal list.
LOCAL PLANNING NOTE
Compare McHenry bulk collection before choosing a pickup.
Flood Brothers’ McHenry guidance includes a weekly eligible bulk-item allowance and separates appliances, electronics and items needing special handling from ordinary collection. Its program has size and lifting limits.
Check the exact item and your account with the provider before relying on curbside service. If your job involves several rooms, interior carrying or a particular handover date, describe those needs when asking Second Chance for a separate estimate.
Work backward from the McHenry key handover.
Before the estimate
Count the furniture and identify where it is now. Tell us whether the work is a move, removal or both, and share any date you cannot change.
Before the appointment
Confirm the agreed load, available timing and complete pricing. Resolve who can authorize extra work if another room or piece is added.
Before returning the keys
Keep a final walk-through list for closets, storage areas and outdoor belongings. Do not assume an item has been included just because it is somewhere on the property.
A LITTLE CLARITY BEFORE YOU CALL
Questions before your McHenry changeover
Is this a page for the city or the whole county?
This guide focuses on McHenry, Illinois. Second Chance also serves communities throughout McHenry County; use Service Areas to find the broader coverage.
Can moving and removal happen as part of the same request?
You can request both. Provide separate item lists and confirm the order, scope and pricing before booking; one service does not automatically include the other.
Does your removal quote include my residential garbage service?
No. Second Chance provides a separate private service. Any residential bulk allowance or special pickup must be arranged with your collection provider.
