Two ways to do it

Our crew clears the site, or we drop a dumpster and you fill it.

Contractors usually want a dumpster on site for the length of the tear-out. Homeowners finishing a DIY remodel usually want the pile gone with no lifting. We do both, and plenty of jobs use a dumpster for demo week and the crew for the final sweep.

What we haul

Everything a remodel leaves behind.

  • Drywall, plaster, and lath
  • Lumber, studs, and trim
  • Cabinets, countertops, and vanities
  • Tile, carpet, hardwood, and laminate
  • Roofing shingles and underlayment
  • Windows, doors, and siding
  • Deck boards, fence sections, and demolition lumber
  • Insulation, ductwork, and scrap metal
We cannot haul: asbestos or suspected asbestos material, paint and solvents, adhesives, propane, tires, and bulk concrete, brick, or dirt

Asbestos needs a licensed abatement crew, and a trailer of concrete is more than the landfill and our axles will take without a plan. Tell us what the pile is made of and we will steer you right. Text a photo to (217) 624-7066 if you are not sure and we will tell you what to do with it.

Construction waste removal that keeps the job moving.

When a contractor searches construction debris removal near me, most results are national roll-off franchises with a call center and a long lead time. L&J’s is a local crew with its own trucks, trailers, and dumpsters, so a text to (217) 624-7066 reaches the person who will actually show up. Remodel debris removal, roofing debris removal, and demolition debris removal are the loads we haul most.

  • Construction waste removal for general contractors, roofers, flooring installers, and flippers who need the site clean between phases
  • Remodel debris removal for homeowners who gutted the bathroom themselves and now have a pile in the garage
  • Demolition debris removal after a deck, shed, porch, or interior wall comes down, lumber and fasteners included
  • Drywall removal and disposal, whether it is a flooded basement or a full-house gut, bagged or loose
  • Kitchen remodel debris and roofing debris removal sized for the 20 yard, with weight guidance before you fill it
How it works

Debris gone in four steps.

  1. 01

    Send a photo of the pile

    Text (217) 624-7066 or use the estimate form. Tell us what it is made of, roughly how much, and whether the crew loads it or you want a dumpster on site.

  2. 02

    Get a straight price

    We reply with a flat rate, usually the same day. Contractors, send the job timeline and we will plan drops and pickups around it.

  3. 03

    We show up when we said

    The crew loads from wherever the debris sits, or we set the dumpster where the trucks can still get past.

  4. 04

    Hauled, sorted, done

    Metal, cardboard, and clean wood get pulled for recycling where we can. The rest goes to the landfill and the slab gets swept.

FAQ

Construction debris questions people ask.

How much does construction debris removal cost in Jacksonville, IL?

L&J’s Junk Removal prices debris hauling as a flat rate based on how much space the pile takes and what it is made of, since shingles and tile weigh far more than drywall and trim. There is no hourly labor charge and no separate dump fee added on the back end. Text a photo of the debris to (217) 624-7066 and you will have a straight price back, usually the same day, or use the estimate form.

Who does construction debris removal near Springfield and Jacksonville, IL?

L&J’s Junk Removal, a family-owned crew with 88 five-star Google reviews, hauls construction debris for contractors and homeowners in Springfield, Jacksonville, Beardstown, Virginia, Petersburg, and every town in Cass, Morgan, and Sangamon County. We run our own trucks, trailers, and dumpsters, so the person who prices the job is the one who shows up. Call or text (217) 624-7066.

Is it cheaper to rent a dumpster or hire junk removal for construction debris?

For a tear-out that runs several days, an L&J’s dumpster on site is usually the better value because you toss debris as you go and pay one flat rate for 1 to 7 days. For a pile that already exists and just needs to leave, the crew is faster and you never lift a sheet of drywall. Text (217) 624-7066 with a photo and we will tell you which one fits your job.

Can you take drywall and plaster?

Yes. L&J’s handles drywall removal and disposal every week, from water-damaged basement walls to full-house gut jobs, and old plaster and lath from the older homes in Jacksonville and Beardstown is fine too. Bagged or loose, both load. The one exception is material that might contain asbestos, which needs a licensed abatement crew before we can touch it. Send a photo and we will confirm.

Do you do roofing debris removal after a tear-off?

Yes. L&J’s Junk Removal hauls shingles, felt, drip edge, and rotten decking for roofers and for homeowners who stripped the roof themselves. Shingles are heavy, so a 20 yard dumpster on site during the tear-off is the usual setup, with weight guidance before you fill it. If the pile is already on the ground, the crew loads it. Text (217) 624-7066 with the roof size and we will plan it.

Can you haul kitchen remodel debris, cabinets and countertops included?

Yes. Kitchen remodel debris is one of the most common loads L&J’s hauls: cabinets, laminate and stone countertops, backsplash tile, old appliances, subfloor, and the drywall behind it all. We can bring a dumpster before demo starts or send the crew once the kitchen is bare. Either way it leaves in one trip. Book a dumpster or get a crew estimate.

Do you work with contractors, or only homeowners?

Both. L&J’s Junk Removal works with general contractors, roofers, flooring installers, and house flippers across Cass, Morgan, and Sangamon County, and just as often with homeowners finishing a DIY project. Contractors can text (217) 624-7066 with the job timeline and we will plan dumpster drops and debris pickups around the phases so your finish crew never works around a pile.

What construction waste can you not take?

L&J’s cannot haul asbestos or suspected asbestos material, paint, solvents, adhesives, propane, tires, or truckload quantities of concrete, brick, and dirt. The landfill refuses the hazardous items and the heavy material exceeds what our trailers should carry without a plan. Everything else from a remodel, roof, or demolition is fine. If you are unsure about something, text a photo to (217) 624-7066 first.

Can you schedule debris pickup around my remodel timeline?

Yes. Tell L&J’s when demo starts and when the finish crew arrives and we will set the dumpster drop, the pickup, and the final haul around those dates. Homeowners can text (217) 624-7066 when the last wall is down and we will book the crew for the next open slot. Send the details and we will map it out with you.

Ready to clear the site?

Text a photo of the debris to (217) 624-7066 or use the estimate form and the crew will handle the loading. Running a longer tear-out? Book a 15 or 20 yard dumpster on the site instead and toss as you go. Either way the pile leaves with us.
