Vernon Hills enforces the container rule strictly. If it is not in the cart, it is not collected, or you are charged for it. That is the cleanest dividing line of any town we serve.
Vernon Hills is a planned community built largely from the 1970s onward, with a large retail and commercial base around Hawthorn Mall and a big stock of townhomes and condos alongside single-family subdivisions. High townhome density means steady move-out and turnover work.
Vernon Hills curbside rules
What Waste Managementwill take, and what it won’t
The village program
The village contracts village-wide with Waste Management. Waste must go in the WM-provided containers, and items left outside them are either not collected or charged an additional fee. Bulk items need a special pickup arranged and paid for directly with WM.
Waste Management: (800) 964-8988
Where that leaves you
Everything larger than the cart is a paid arrangement, so there is no free bulk allowance to lean on the way there is in neighboring towns. Once you are paying either way, one visit that clears the whole thing usually beats scheduling items one at a time.
Rules current as of July 2026. Municipal contracts change, so confirm details with the Vernon Hills waste page before you rely on them. We keep the rules for every village we serve in one place.

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.”
