Wauconda has a housing stock unlike its neighbors, because a lot of it started life as lake cottages. Those conversions produce some of the more interesting cleanouts we do.
Wauconda sits around Bangs Lake, and much of the older housing near the water began as seasonal cottages later converted to year-round homes. Conversions mean odd additions, crawl spaces, tight lots, and decades of accumulation in places that were never designed for storage. Newer subdivisions on the edges of the village are more conventional.
Wauconda curbside rules
What LRS (Lakeshore Recycling Systems)will take, and what it won’t
The village program
The village contracts with LRS for weekly single-family garbage and recycling, collected Thursdays and Fridays. Bulk items are handled as a special pickup arranged directly with LRS.
LRS (Lakeshore Recycling Systems): (847) 381-9300
Where that leaves you
Bulk here is a call-and-arrange service rather than a standing weekly allowance, so there is no free item to count on. For a converted cottage being cleared out, the volume is well past what any weekly program covers regardless.
Rules current as of July 2026. Municipal contracts change, so confirm details with the Wauconda 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.”
