BIG MOVES. FRESH STARTS.Moving & junk removal across 7 Illinois counties ↗

YOUR BUILDING HAS DETAILS. LET’S PLAN FOR THEM.

A Vernon Hills fresh start, from entryway to empty room.

Moving and junk removal need to fit the property, whether that means a private driveway or a shared building entrance. Tell Second Chance where the belongings are and how the building works before choosing a service window in Vernon Hills.

Vernon Hills, Illinois · Lake County

Start with the person who controls access.

At a house or townhome

Check driveway space, entry steps and any association arrangements for loading. Confirm the day keys are available and keep the path to the larger furniture clear.

In a shared building

Ask management about elevator reservations, loading entrances and permitted work times. If documents are requested from a mover, discuss those requirements with us before agreeing to the job.

Shared entrances call for a little coordination before loading.

Coordinate a move that also needs a clearout.

Agree on what is leaving

Make separate inventories for belongings to move and items to remove. Ask the property owner before including anything supplied with the unit.

Match the work to the access window

Give us the permitted loading hours and elevator details for each address. Confirm the schedule directly instead of treating an unconfirmed request as a booking.

Leave time for the handover

Allow for your own walkthrough and any separate cleaning arrangements. Explain if keys must be returned at a particular time so we can discuss the sequence realistically.

LOCAL PLANNING NOTE

Check whether your property is in the Village’s collection agreement.

Vernon Hills says its WM franchise covers certain single-family and multi-family homes, generally those with a garage and driveway. Businesses and commercial residential properties are not covered by that agreement.

If you are in a managed building, ask management which collection rules apply before leaving unwanted furniture beside shared containers. A private removal appointment is a separate option to discuss with us; do not assume the building’s routine collection covers the job.

A LITTLE CLARITY BEFORE YOU CALL

Vernon Hills building questions to settle early

Can I leave unwanted furniture by the shared dumpster?

Ask management first. Shared-building collection rules may differ from the Village’s residential program, and the location of a container is not permission to leave bulky items there.

Can you work within my elevator reservation?

Tell us the approved window and the job details, then confirm availability and scope by phone. We cannot promise a slot before reviewing the request.

Do I need the same access details for the new property?

Yes. A moving estimate needs the loading and unloading conditions. For removal only, describe the pickup property and where each unwanted item is located.
