Winchester is the southwest corner of our map and we run it every week: century-old houses around the Scott County courthouse square, farms along US-67 and IL-106, and river-bottom ground out toward Naples. Hand-carried basements, barn cleanouts, and dumpsters that sit fine on a brick street.
Winchester is 26 miles from the shop and about 35 minutes of driving. The run is simple: US-67 south through Jacksonville, under I-72, and straight on into Scott County. Since it is the long side of the circle for us, we pair Winchester with Jacksonville and Arenzville stops on the same day, so a barn cleanout here and a garage up in Jacksonville usually ride the same trailer. Book a few days out and we will put you on that run.
Winchester is an old county seat and the houses show it. Two-story frame and brick homes around the courthouse square go back over a century, with steep basement stairs, low cellar doors, and attics reached through a closet. Farther out, US-67 and IL-106 pass working farms and the river bottoms toward Naples and Bluffs, where machine sheds hold a generation of scrap iron, tires, and furniture nobody could bring themselves to pitch. We bring hand trucks and straps for the square, and the big trailer for the farms.
Snap the basement, the barn, or the pile. Say Winchester so we know it belongs on the US-67 run.
Flat rate for the load with the drive and the dump fees already inside it. Usually the same day you ask.
Winchester is 35 minutes out, so we stack it with Jacksonville and Arenzville stops. Book a few days ahead and you ride that trip.

Yes. L&J’s Junk Removal runs to Winchester and the rest of Scott County from our shop in Virginia, IL, about 35 minutes up US-67. Basements, estates, barns, brush, appliances, and the one couch nobody wants to carry up the stairs. Winchester is the far southwest edge of our map, but it is a regular stop, not a special trip. Text a photo to (217) 624-7066 or send the form.
L&J’s Junk Removal quotes Winchester as a flat rate per load, with the drive from Virginia, the labor, and the landfill fees already built in. There is no extra line for Scott County. We price from a photo because a cellar of canning jars and a cellar of cast-iron radiators load very differently. Text pictures to (217) 624-7066 and a real number comes back, usually the same day.
Yes. L&J’s brings 15 and 20 yard dumpsters to Winchester and anywhere in Scott County, with 1 to 7 day rentals and delivery and pickup included. They ride on tires, so they sit on the narrow streets near the square or a gravel farm drive without chewing anything up. Book online with your address and dates, or text (217) 624-7066 and we will help you size it.
L&J’s Junk Removal covers Winchester, Bluffs, Naples, Alsey, Manchester, Glasgow, Exeter, and the river-bottom farms in between. We also run Jacksonville, Arenzville, and Beardstown on the same side of the map, which is how a Scott County stop fits the schedule. One phone number, one flat price, no call center. Text (217) 624-7066 with your address, or request an estimate.
For the older two-stories around the Winchester square, L&J’s usually recommends the crew. The stairs are steep, the doorways are narrow, and heavy pieces are where an amateur back gets hurt. A dumpster makes sense when the house is emptying slowly over weeks and family wants time to sort. Both are flat rate. Text a few photos to (217) 624-7066 and we will tell you straight which one fits.
Yes. L&J’s has carried plenty of basements up 1890s stairs by hand: coal-room leftovers, canning shelves, a furnace that was replaced but never left, and the workbench under it all. We pad the stairwell, work slow on the turn, and sweep before we go. Send a photo of the basement and the stairs to (217) 624-7066, or use the form, and we will price it as one flat load.
Yes. L&J’s Junk Removal cleans out barns, machine sheds, and corn cribs on Scott County farms, including the river-bottom ground out toward Naples. Scrap iron gets recycled, tires go where tires are allowed, and the rest rides the big trailer. If the lot is overgrown we can bush hog it first. Text a couple of photos and the road name to (217) 624-7066 for a flat price.
Yes, with a plan. L&J’s will pick up a single couch, fridge, or mattress in Winchester, but we schedule it onto a day we are already running US-67 through Jacksonville so the drive does not land on you. It might mean a two or three day wait instead of tomorrow. Text a photo to (217) 624-7066 and we will give you the next Winchester run and a flat price for the item.
All of it. L&J’s Junk Removal treats Winchester as the anchor for Scott County and covers Bluffs, Naples, Alsey, Manchester, Glasgow, Exeter, Riggston, and every farm road between them. Same crew and the same flat pricing whether you are on the square or six miles out on a gravel road. Send a photo through the form or text (217) 624-7066 with your address and we will confirm the run.
An old basement off the square, a barn out toward the river, or a dumpster on a brick street. Winchester rides our US-67 run every week, and the price is flat.
