Lake, Porter and LaPorte counties.
The Northwest Indiana crew is based in Lake County and runs the lakeshore, the Route 30 corridor and the county seats every week. If your town is close to one of these, you are covered. Farther out, call anyway and the crew will tell you straight whether it makes sense.

Mission log.
Straight answers from the Northwest Indiana crew. Anything not covered here, call and ask.
(219) 758-8562Q 01Do you cover Michigan City and La Porte?
Yes. The crew runs all three counties. The lakeshore and LaPorte County are regular stops, and the crew will tell you honestly if a far-out address needs a bigger minimum.
Q 02Can you do same day in Valparaiso or Crown Point?
Usually, if you call before lunch. Valpo, Crown Point, Merrillville and Portage are the center of the route, so those are the easiest same-day windows. Farther out, next day is more realistic.
Q 03Can you clear a rental between tenants?
Yes. Hammond, Gary and Merrillville landlords are a big part of the week. Send photos of each room and the crew can usually quote before arriving.
Q 04Where does my stuff end up?
Usable furniture and goods go to donation partners in Lake and Porter counties first. Metal, cardboard and electronics are recycled where facilities exist. What is left goes to a licensed transfer station.
Q 05What about winter off the lake?
The crew runs year round. In lake-effect weather they may ask to shift a window by a day for safety, and they will call you before you wonder.
Q 06Do you take hot tubs and pianos?
Yes, both, and they are quoted as single items rather than by the load. A photo and a note about stairs or gates gets you a number before the truck leaves the yard.
Q 07Is Junkonauts the company doing the work?
Junkonauts is the brand. The pickup is performed by the independent, licensed and insured hauling partner for Northwest Indiana, and your call goes directly to them.
Q 08How do I pay?
You pay the Northwest Indiana crew directly when the truck is loaded and the spot is swept: card, cash or check, with a receipt in hand before they pull away.
