The Problem

So many Chatham junk options, so few that work

You check the town's disposal rules, call a few haulers, and wait on callbacks. One quote is vague, another never comes. Meanwhile the season turns and the junk is still in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Disposal in town generally runs through the transfer station, not a truck at your curb. That means a permit sticker, loading everything yourself, and fitting trips into posted hours. Bulky items and state-banned materials like mattresses can bring extra rules, and a sofa rarely fits in a hatchback.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to walk the property before naming a figure, which is tough when you're closing the house from off-Cape. Then the price depends on how much of the truck you fill, a number that can shift once loading starts.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Charity drop-offs want items in clean, sellable shape, and salt air and damp basements are hard on upholstery. Stained mattresses, swollen particleboard, and worn wicker often get turned away. That leaves you with a car full of leftovers and nowhere to take them.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off makes sense for a gut renovation, not a spare room. On narrow village lanes and tight shell driveways, the box can crowd neighbors and mark up the yard, and it may need a permit if it sits on the street. Then it stays for days while you do the lifting.

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.

Loaders who show up ready for the job

Your Loader can ease a dresser down steep stairs tucked under a sloped half-story roofline. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Chatham after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it at the driveway or leave it where it sits

If the old grill and weathered patio chairs are already out on your shell or gravel driveway, curbside pickup keeps things simple. When a seasonal house still has beds upstairs or a rental turnover leaves the basement full, full-service lets your Loaders carry everything out from inside.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Chatham, all along the elbow of the Cape

Anyone who has crept along Route 28 in July knows a couch strapped to a roof is a bad plan. Add a Saturday rental changeover and a narrow village driveway, and the weekend vanishes fast. Your Loaders carry it out and load it up, because they genuinely like showing up for this town.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items rarely leave a Chatham property the same way twice, and that matters. Your Loader looks at each piece's condition and, when local options allow, steers it toward donation, recycling, or responsible disposal.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, bikes, and household goods in good, clean shape may go to donation when local options allow. Your Loader carries them out, and any receipt is something you would arrange directly with the charity.

  • 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 may be recycled where available, such as metal frames or reusable materials. Rules for mattresses, electronics, and appliances vary, so outcomes are not guaranteed.

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

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky pieces, like waterlogged furniture after a storm, are hauled away by your Loader for responsible disposal through the transfer station and disposal arrangements that apply to Chatham.

  • No logistics or transport to handle
  • No sorting or drop-off required on your end
  • Local disposal fees covered

Local Disposal Rules

The Chatham disposal rules most residents don't know

Arrive without a valid sticker or mix banned materials into your trash and you face per-item fees or a state disposal violation. These rules apply in Chatham, Barnstable County.

Rule 01

Storm-damaged limbs have qualified for temporary fee waivers

After Blizzard Hernando in February 2026, Chatham temporarily waived Transfer Station fees for storm-damaged trees and limbs. Material had to be separated as woody debris, stumps with root balls were excluded, and the waiver covered residential drop-offs only, not landscapers.

Rule 02

The Swap Shop refuses cribs, car seats, and particleboard furniture

Chatham's Transfer Station Swap Shop takes only clean, usable items, and a regular or recycling-only sticker is required. Electronics, rugs, upholstered items, mattresses, highchairs, small appliances, tires, broken or chipped dishes, and moldy books cannot be accepted. It operates seasonally, weather and volunteers permitting.

Rule 03

Mattresses carry a gate fee and a state disposal ban

Massachusetts has banned mattresses from disposal in the trash since November 2022 so their materials can be recycled. At the Chatham Transfer Station, mattresses, box springs, and upholstered furniture are handled separately, with a fee applied and details given at the gate.

Rule 04

Cardboard and paper are banned from Massachusetts household trash

Under Massachusetts regulations cited by the town, glass, metal, plastics, and paper are prohibited from disposal with household trash. In Chatham, the Recycling Center sits within the Transfer Station, so boxes and packaging from a cleanout belong in its recycling bins.

Rule 05

Household hazardous products go to regional collections in Harwich

Rather than tossing leftover household hazardous products in the trash, Chatham's recycling guide directs residents to regional collections at the Harwich Transfer Station, held the second Saturday of each month from May through October during morning hours. Confirm the current year's schedule first.

Rule 06

Transfer Station stickers expire every June 30

Chatham requires a sticker to use the Transfer Station, issued only to legal residents or property owners and displayed inside the windshield on the driver's side. Trust beneficiaries need written proof of residency. A recycling-only sticker does not cover household trash.

Not as a bulk pile. Chatham residents generally take larger items to the Chatham Transfer Station and Recycling Center in South Chatham, which runs seasonal hours and has its own fee schedule. Check the town's recycling page for current rules before you haul.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Chatham starts at $105, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $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. Hauling it yourself to the transfer station is usually cheaper if you have a truck and the time.

Sometimes. Availability depends on the schedule and your address, and Cape Cod can book up in summer. Enter your address during booking to see live openings. Next-day or later slots are often easier to get in peak season.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Leave the items out with access notes. For items inside a home, someone should be there, or you can leave entry instructions when booking. Loaders typically call or text before they arrive.

Large or restricted items can mean extra fees, special handling, or separate drop-off rules at the Chatham Transfer Station. Hazardous materials like paint or chemicals usually need dedicated disposal. A hauler can take bulky items, but ask about anything hazardous before booking.

Loaders aim to keep as much as possible out of the landfill. Usable items go to local charities when options allow, and recyclables are sorted for recycling depending on acceptance. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility.

You pick your items and a time window online, and the price is confirmed before you book. On pickup day, Loaders arrive in the window, load the items, and haul them away. Curbside pickups don't need you present.

The main difference is the pricing model. Many traditional haulers price by truckload and confirm the price on site, while LoadUp prices per item online with the total confirmed before booking. For a few items that is often simpler, while a full cleanout may suit a truckload hauler.
