The Problem

Burlington has junk options, just not easy ones

You search online, call the county office, and leave messages for a few haulers. Two never call back, one wants to stop by next week, and meanwhile the junk keeps sitting in your garage for another month.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Burlington is unincorporated, so free bulky pickup depends on your county service or private trash hauler, not a city program. You usually have to call ahead and wait for a set date, and appliances, renovation debris, or large loads often aren't accepted.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come look at the job before they give you a number. Then the price is based on a fraction of a truckload that's hard to picture, so you only find out what you're paying once everything is already loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Charities in Northern Kentucky need things they can resell, so a stained couch, a scratched dresser, or anything missing parts often gets turned away. Even when something is accepted, getting it there is up to you, and you still have to deal with everything they turned down.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container for one basement or spare room means picking delivery and pickup dates, maybe checking HOA rules in a newer subdivision, and having a big steel box block your driveway for days. Then you still have to carry everything out and lift it in yourself.

What sets us apart

Your price is locked before pickup day

Most companies charge by truck space, and the price often changes on arrival. LoadUp charges by item, based on exactly what you're removing.

  • Per-item, predictable. First item includes the pickup fee. Every add-on is flat, no truck math, no hourly rates.
  • Locked means locked. The price at booking is what you pay. No adjustments, no surprises.
  • No-obligation quotes. Big job or full cleanout? Text a photo for a guaranteed price first.

Background-checked Loaders who handle the heavy part

A sectional stuck at the bottom of a narrow basement stairway takes planning, and your Loaders handle it with care. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Burlington after each job.

Pickup Options

Left in the driveway or carried out from inside

If renovation leftovers or bagged yard debris already sit in the driveway of your newer Burlington subdivision home, curbside pickup lets your Loaders load them right from there. For a dryer in an upstairs laundry room or boxes stacked deep in an attached garage, choose full-service so your Loaders carry everything out from where it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Proudly serving Burlington and the rest of Boone County

Anyone who has strapped a sofa into a pickup bed and crept down a steep Kentucky hill, hoping the ratchet strap holds, knows the feeling. Add basement stairs and sloped driveways, and bulky stuff gets personal. Your Loaders handle the carrying and loading, and LoadUp is glad they get to show up for Burlington neighbors.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Where a couch, dresser, or broken appliance ends up matters as much as getting it out of the house. In Burlington, your Loader sorts each item by condition, so donation, recycling, or disposal fits what's actually there.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods that are clean and in good shape may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader sets them aside for that route, though no receipt or tax documentation is guaranteed.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor
See donation pickup
Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but not ready for donation, such as scrap metal or old fixtures, may be recycled where available. Recycling options vary, so it is never guaranteed for any specific item.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs
See common questions
Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or broken-down bulky items that can't be reused or recycled are taken for responsible disposal. Your Loader carries them out of your Burlington garage, basement, or driveway and loads them for proper disposal.

  • No logistics or transport to handle
  • No sorting or drop-off required on your end
  • Local disposal fees covered
See Burlington rules below
Local Disposal Rules

The Burlington disposal rules most residents don't know

Paint, liquids or hazardous waste can get a cleanout load refused at the landfill, so here is how Burlington and Boone County handle what goes where.

Rule 01

Tires skip the voucher and go to a summer event

Tires are excluded from the Household Waste Voucher and cost extra at Bavarian Waste Landfill. Boone County instead holds a summer tire recycling event at its Recycling Center for over-the-road or solid tires, closed to businesses, scrap yards and tire retailers.

Rule 02

Freon appliances go to the Recycling Center on Fridays

Boone County's Recycling Center accepts refrigerators, AC units, dishwashers, dryers, furnaces, ranges and treadmills for free, with or without freon, but only on Fridays. Drain every fluid except the freon, and empty refrigerators of all food before drop-off.

Rule 03

Big Blue Bins take cardboard, but foam only at select sites

Cardboard is the largest material by weight at the Boone County Recycling Center, fed by Big Blue Bins around the county. Those bins accept cardboard and paperboard, while Styrofoam is limited to white #6 polystyrene in bins at select locations.

Rule 04

One free landfill load per household each month

A Boone County Household Waste Voucher covers debris, bulk items and garbage at Bavarian Waste Landfill, capped at one pickup truck load or one 8-foot trailer with the pile under three feet tall. The county can bill households that use duplicate vouchers in a month.

Rule 05

Televisions are capped at two per household at collection events

Boone County's free Household Hazardous Waste Event runs the first Saturday of November at Thomas More Stadium in Florence. It takes electronics, meaning anything that plugs in or takes a battery, with a limit of two televisions per household.

Rule 06

Leftover latex paint belongs in the trash once it dries

Bavarian Waste Landfill will not take paint, even on a county voucher. Boone County's workaround is simple: mix latex paint with cat litter or shredded paper until it hardens, then set it out with regular curbside garbage.

Not safely. Boone County is unincorporated here, so trash service comes through a private hauler such as Rumpke, and bulk piles may not be taken. Ask your hauler first. Dumping unapproved items is illegal dumping, which the county solid waste coordinator enforces.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Burlington starts at $85, with $5 off for curbside or driveway pickup. The first item includes the base pickup fee and each additional item is a flat add-on, with the exact total confirmed before booking. Traditional haulers usually charge by truckload.

Often, depending on the schedule that day. Same-day and next-day slots open up in many cases, and entering your Burlington address during booking shows what's available. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access instructions.

Boone County's solid waste coordinator handles ordinances, illegal dumping, and disposal questions, and the number listed in the regional solid waste guide is 859-586-6101. Ask them what your hauler accepts and where household hazardous waste, tires, and appliances can go.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating them to local charities when options allow. Recyclable materials go to processors depending on acceptance, and whatever remains goes to a licensed disposal site. Donation and recycling aren't guaranteed for every item.

Pick your items online, enter your Burlington address, choose a time window, and see the exact price before you confirm. Your Loader typically calls or texts ahead of arrival, then removes the items from the curb, garage, or inside your home and loads them.

The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King usually price by truck space and may confirm the total on site. LoadUp prices per item online, so you see the total before booking. For a full-house cleanout, a truckload hauler can be a better fit.
