Junk has a way of piling up until clearing it out feels like a chore nobody wants. LoadUp gives Back Mountain homeowners a quick pickup and a clear price before you book.
You check your township's website, call the trash hauler, leave messages with a few junk companies and wait. One calls back with a vague quote, another never does, and the pile in the garage stays put another month.
Bulk pickup depends on your township or borough, and on your trash hauler. Many programs limit what goes out, how many items qualify and when you can request a pickup. You still have to drag everything to the road yourself, which is hard with a long gravel drive.
Many haulers want to come look at your junk in person before they give a number, and then they price it by the fraction of a truckload. You won't know the final cost until the truck is already loaded, and by then it's hard to say no.
Donation centers need items they can actually resell, so stains, worn upholstery, missing parts or older appliances often get turned away. You load the car, drive it over and may end up bringing half of it back to your basement in Dallas or Shavertown.
A roll-off fills your driveway for days, may need permission from your township or HOA, and makes you schedule both the drop-off and the pickup. You still do all the lifting yourself. For one spare room or a shed in Lehman, that's a lot of hassle.

If the old grill and patio chairs are already at the end of your Lehman Township driveway, curbside pickup keeps things simple. For a finished basement in Dallas or a shed set back behind a Shavertown house, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry everything out from where it sits.

Strapping an old sectional into a pickup, then winding down the mountain for a dump run, is a lot to ask of a Saturday. Your Loaders carry it out of the basement, garage or shed and take it from there. Neighbors here look out for each other, and your Loaders like showing up for that.
Basements and garages across Back Mountain tend to hold bulky items that are hard to move alone. Your Loader sorts each one by condition, so usable pieces may be donated and the rest handled responsibly when local options allow.
Furniture, housewares and other items in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when possible and when local options allow. Your Loader keeps these separate from the rest of the load.
Items that are worn or damaged but not suited for donation, such as scrap metal, some appliances and certain electronics, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them during loading.
Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items, like soaked mattresses or broken sofas from a Back Mountain cleanout, are taken for disposal at an appropriate local facility, after your Loader has lifted and loaded them.
A TV left in the trash or a truckload of leaves can be turned away at disposal, so here is how state and local rules apply in Back Mountain, Luzerne County.
Long, cold winters mean many older Back Mountain homes still have heating oil tanks. Pennsylvania's storage tank program generally exempts tanks holding heating oil used on the property. That exemption does not cover leaks, and spilled oil still requires state cleanup.
Pennsylvania's Act 101 bars landfills from accepting truckloads made up mostly of leaf waste. In heavily wooded Back Mountain neighborhoods, autumn leaves belong in composting or municipal leaf collection instead of being mixed into bulk trash loads.
Under the Covered Device Recycling Act, televisions, desktop and laptop computers, computer monitors, tablets, e-readers and computer peripherals cannot go in household trash. Manufacturers must fund recycling programs, so free collection options exist for these devices.
Pennsylvania's environmental agency warns that burning household trash releases toxic pollutants, and state air quality rules restrict open burning. Local municipalities can add stricter burning ordinances, so burning cleanout debris can lead to a citation.
Pennsylvania treats uncontaminated soil, rock, stone, brick, block and concrete from construction as clean fill that can be reused. Once it is mixed with drywall, wood or shingles, the load becomes construction and demolition waste that must go to a permitted facility.
Under the federal Clean Air Act, refrigerant must be recovered before refrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners and dehumidifiers are scrapped. Releasing it is illegal, so many scrap and disposal sites refuse these appliances without proof the refrigerant was removed.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Back Mountain starts at $80, and curbside or driveway pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on, and the exact total is confirmed before booking. Truckload haulers usually price by volume.
Sometimes. Same-day and next-day slots depend on Loader availability, so enter your address at booking to see live options for your area. Curbside items don't require anyone to be home, and for in-home pickups you can share access instructions.
Rules differ by item. Pennsylvania bans many electronics, including TVs and computers, from landfill disposal, so they need a recycling outlet. Hazardous items like paint, solvents, and chemicals also need special handling. Check with your hauler or the Luzerne County recycling office.
Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating them to local charities when options allow. They try to recycle metal, cardboard, and electronics whenever possible. Outcomes depend on item condition and what facilities accept. Whatever can't be reused or recycled goes to a proper disposal facility.
Choose your items and enter your Back Mountain address online, then pick an available time and see your total upfront. Your Loader typically gives notice before arriving, then removes the items from where they sit. You approve the price before anything is hauled.
For a small load and a free truck, self-hauling can cost less, since you only pay disposal fees. You also supply the vehicle, lifting, and time. Hiring out makes sense for heavy or bulky pieces, tight stairs, or when you'd rather skip multiple trips.
The main differences are the pricing model and booking flow. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King generally price by truck volume and may confirm the price on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total shown before you book.
