The Problem

Getting rid of junk here takes more than it should

You search for options, call the city, request a few hauler quotes, and wait. Some callbacks never come. Weeks go by, and that pile in the garage is still sitting exactly where it was.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs can work well for a single bulky item set out on schedule. But you usually have to request it ahead of time, wait for an open date, and drag everything out yourself, and some items may not be accepted.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see your junk in person before they'll name a number, and then they price by how much of the truck you fill. You may not know the real total until the crew is already in your driveway.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need items they can actually resell, so stained, broken, or worn pieces often get turned away. You also have to load and drive everything there yourself, and anything they reject comes right back home with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container makes sense for a full renovation, not a single basement or spare room. You have to schedule drop-off and pickup, find a spot for it, maybe check whether you need a permit, and then do every bit of the loading yourself.

What sets us apart

Your price is locked before pickup day

Local Haulers

Loaders you can count on, start to finish

Whether it's a narrow basement stairwell or a crammed backyard shed, your Loader carries everything out. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Colonial Heights after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it at the curb or leave it where it sits

Colonial Heights is largely residential, so many jobs start at a house rather than an apartment building, and curbside works well when your items are already out on the driveway and ready to go. Choose full-service when a treadmill is stuck in the basement or the garage is still packed, and your Loader will come in, lift everything, and haul it away from where it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Colonial Heights, from the Appomattox River to the city limits

Colonial Heights is small enough that everyone knows the Boulevard, and busy enough that nobody wants to haul a busted treadmill down it on a Saturday. Your Loader walks to the garage or backyard, lifts it, carries it out, and loads it up. Showing up for neighbors here is the part we like best.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Big, bulky items are hard to move on your own, and where they end up matters as much as getting them out. In Colonial Heights, your Loader sorts each pickup by condition, so donation, recycling, or disposal fits the item.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, exercise equipment, and household goods in good, clean shape may be set aside for donation when possible. Your Loader carries them out separately, though acceptance depends on local donation channels and is never guaranteed.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Visible Wear

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs

Local Disposal Rules

The Colonial Heights disposal rules most residents don't know

A missed Tuesday request deadline or a load the Recycling Center refuses can leave junk sitting at the curb. These rules apply in Colonial Heights, Virginia.

Rule 01

Freon appliances need a fee receipt sealed inside

Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners require Freon removal before bulk collection. Residents pay the removal fee through the city's Billing and Collections Office, then place the receipt in a zip top bag inside the appliance on collection day.

Rule 02

Bricks, cement, and soil are refused at the Recycling Center

City Code lists asphalt, bricks, blocks, cement, rocks, and soil as inert waste the Recycling Center will not accept. Hot ashes are refused too, so patio and walkway teardowns need another disposal outlet.

Rule 03

Free bulk pickup stops at one pickup truck bed

Furniture, mattresses, box springs, and extra trash bags count as bulky waste. Pickup is free with a Central Virginia Waste Management Authority request filed by 2 p.m. Tuesday. Larger loads must be arranged in advance and may carry a fee.

Rule 04

Fall leaf collection follows posted signs, not a fixed calendar

Each fall and winter, Public Works collects loose leaves in neighborhood service areas. Signs go up on nearby main roads before service reaches each area, and bad weather can shift the schedule. Bagged leaves need an on-time bulk waste request.

Rule 05

Recycling Center turns away anyone hauling for hire

City Code closes the Recycling Center to commercial refuse haulers, contractors, and anyone hauling for hire. Residents need valid proof of city residency to drop off materials, and the center opens only Fridays, Saturdays, and Mondays.

Rule 06

Curbside brush must be stacked, short, and under 75 pounds

City Code allows curbside tree limbs and brush cuttings once a week, neatly stacked, with no piece over four feet or 75 pounds. Longer limbs under six inches in diameter and six feet long can go to the Recycling Center.

Yes, within limits. Call the CVWMA hotline at (804) 340-0900 by 2:00pm the Tuesday before your trash day. Furniture, appliances and bagged waste are covered if the load fits in a regular pickup bed, at no extra charge.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Colonial Heights 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. The city bulk service is free for smaller loads.

Same-day pickup is often available when you book early, depending on Loader schedules in your area. Enter your address during booking to see live availability. For curbside pickups you usually don't need to be home, but indoor jobs need someone present or access instructions.

Loads larger than a regular pickup bed are treated as special bulky waste. They must be arranged in advance, and a fee may apply. Items with Freon, like air conditioners, also need a $10 fee paid to the city's Billing and Collections Office before pickup.

Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to the appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item and condition, so none of it is guaranteed.

Book online, choose your items and time, and see the exact price before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader typically calls or texts ahead of arrival, then removes and loads the junk from inside your home, garage, or curb.

The main difference is pricing and booking. Traditional haulers often price by truckload and may confirm the cost at an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before booking. For a big cleanout, a truckload hauler can fit better.

If your junk fits in a pickup bed and you can wait for your scheduled trash day, the free city service is the better deal. A hauler makes sense when you need a specific day, indoor removal, or have more than the city will take.
