Buffalo Grove is deep in the part of its housing cycle where the original backyard build-out is wearing out all at once. Decks, hot tubs, and playsets are the bulk of what we remove here.

Most of Buffalo Grove was built out through the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. Those homes are now on their second or third owner, and the decks, sheds, fences, and hot tubs installed by the first owner are at end of life. Curbside collection has no answer for any of them.

Buffalo Grove curbside rules

What Waste Managementwill take, and what it won’t

The village program

Waste Management collects for Buffalo Grove, once a week for refuse, landscape waste, and recycling. Each household can put out one oversized item per week at no extra cost. Anything beyond that one item, you arrange and pay for directly with Waste Management. Yard waste needs a rigid container with an organics decal from Village Hall.

Waste Management: (800) 964-8988

Where that leaves you

One oversized item a week is a fine rule for a worn-out recliner. It is not a rule that can absorb a demolished deck, a hot tub, or a fence line. Those are not oversized items, they are a truckload, and they arrive all at once.

Rules current as of July 2026. Municipal contracts change, so confirm details with the Buffalo Grove waste page before you rely on them. We keep the rules for every village we serve in one place.

Buffalo Grove questions

Junk removal in Buffalo Grove, answered

  • Yes, and it is one of the most common calls we get here. We dismantle the tub on site and haul the pieces, which is faster than trying to move a full tub through a gate or around a corner.

What neighbors say

Reviews from around Lake County

  • They helped me move two sofas and were incredibly professional, timely, and efficient from start to finish. I really appreciated how careful and considerate they were with the space. Matt was great to work with, very responsive and accommodating. I needed the sofas removed within 24 hours, and he made it happen seamlessly.

  • Super fast and professional. They took a rather challenging job that I have had others deny in the past. They were well equipped with tools to demo and remove an existing steel furnace drum that was original to a hundred year old house. Glad to finally have my space back in my basement. Torvik will be my go-to contractor in my personal and professional projects.

  • Prompt, speedy, affordable and a pleasure to work with. Showed up and removed our hot tub and made sure the area was all cleaned up when he was done.
