Junk piles up quietly, then one day it's genuinely in your way. LoadUp keeps it simple anywhere in the Kingdom: pick a Craftsbury pickup window, see a real price first, and skip the heavy lifting.
So you start asking around. Two haulers never call back, a third wants to look at it first, the Saturday drop-off window closes before you can borrow a truck, and the junk sits through another month.
No town truck is coming for a mattress here, and there is no bulk pickup day to sign up for. The Saturday drop-off window is set up mostly for household trash and recycling, so the couch and the old dryer stay your problem, and your vehicle's.
Independent haulers price by the truckload, and the number only arrives after someone drives out, walks the pile, and does the math in front of you. You end up negotiating in your own driveway, and saying no means starting the calls over.
Reuse shops take what they can resell, which rules out anything torn, stained, water damaged, or missing hardware. Options for bulky items thin out fast in this part of Vermont, open hours are short, and you still have to deliver the good half yourself.
A roll-off needs firm level ground, a clear approach for the delivery truck, and a week of your dooryard. You still carry every piece out yourself, you pay for empty space when the job is one room, and soft spring ground does not help.

Your Loaders handle the parts you would rather not, like a sleeper sofa down narrow farmhouse stairs or a treadmill wedged in a low-ceilinged basement. Every Loader is background checked and rated by real locals in Craftsbury after each job.
If everything is already outside at the end of a gravel drive or stacked by the garage, curbside keeps it simple and your Loaders take it from where it sits. Choose full service when the mattress is still upstairs, the freezer is in a back shed, or the doorways and stair turns make carrying it out a two-person job.

Around here, hauling your own is just what you do, right up until the load is a sleeper sofa, a chest freezer, and no truck bed long enough. Then the snow arrives and shortens the list of days that works. Your Loaders like showing up for people who handle most of it themselves and call when the math stops working.
Getting a mattress or an old dryer out of a Craftsbury house is only half the job. Where it ends up next depends on condition, so your Loaders sort for reuse, recycling, or disposal when local options allow.
Furniture, bicycles, and kitchen items still in clean, usable shape get set aside by your Loaders for a reuse or thrift option when one nearby is accepting them, without paperwork or confirmation.
A torn recliner or a dead television is not donation material, but parts of it may still be recyclable. Your Loaders separate scrap metal and covered electronics for recycling where available.
Waterlogged sofas, crushed hot tub shells, and mattresses past reuse are taken by your Loaders to a permitted transfer station or landfill accepting that material where available, under Vermont handling rules.
Burning or dumping banned material in Vermont brings fines and license penalties, so check which Craftsbury and Orleans County disposal rules apply before a cleanout starts.
Act 148 makes it illegal to put mandated recyclables, leaf and yard debris, clean wood, and food scraps in the trash, which is why the Craftsbury drop-off collects recycling and food scraps alongside bagged trash.
State and municipal officials can penalize anyone who burns household trash or dumps it in roadside ditches, swamps or open land. Violators face fines up to $500 and roadside cleanup work, with added license penalties for nonpayment.
Electronics have been banned from Vermont landfills since 2011, but the E-Cycles program makes recycling free for households, charities, schools and small businesses with ten or fewer employees. Computers, monitors, televisions, printers and peripherals all qualify.
Appliances are landfill banned across Vermont, and the regional district asks that refrigerant stay sealed inside refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and air conditioners so trained handlers can recover it during processing. Removing refrigerator doors first is requested for safety.
Clean wood scrap has been banned from Vermont landfills since 2016, and the Craftsbury drop-off is set up for bagged trash, recycling and organics. Loose bulky waste and most construction and demolition debris go to larger district stations.
Since July 2024, single-use and rechargeable batteries are illegal to landfill in Vermont, and collection is free statewide. Bag or tape the terminals on lithium, button cell and larger batteries first, because damaged cells start fires.

(678) 884-4738No, Craftsbury has no municipal curbside bulk pickup. Residents self-haul to the LRSWMD drop-off station at 40 Creek Road, open Saturdays 9am to 1pm, or hire a hauler. Leaving items out without a plan risks an illegal dumping violation, and Vermont sets no minimum amount for banned materials.
LoadUp junk removal in Craftsbury starts at $100, with $5 off when items sit at the curb or driveway. The first item covers the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on, so your full total is confirmed before you book. For comparison, the LRSWMD station charges $5 per 30-gallon trash bag and $45 per mattress.
Same-day service can be limited this far into rural Orleans County, but next-day and scheduled pickups are usually open across the area. Enter your Craftsbury zip code during booking to see live dates for your address. Booking earlier in the day improves your odds of the soonest slot.
The Craftsbury drop-off on Creek Road takes bagged trash, recycling, and food scraps but not bulky loads. Large junk and construction debris go to the LRSWMD stations in Johnson, Stowe, or Worcester, and mattresses are accepted only at Johnson and Stowe at $45 each. A pickup service saves the drive if you can't haul it yourself.
Loaders try to keep usable items out of the landfill whenever possible, steering good furniture toward donation and local reuse channels like Front Porch Forum or Orleans County FreeCycle, and sending metal, electronics, and other materials to recyclers when options allow. It matters here since Vermont has just one operating landfill, in Coventry.
You pick your items online or by phone, get an upfront quote, and choose a pickup date. On pickup day your Loaders text ahead, usually about 30 minutes out, then handle all the lifting and loading. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home, just leave the junk accessible with any access notes.
Casella mainly runs subscription trash and recycling routes, not one-off item hauling, and 1-800-GOT-JUNK prices by truckload after an in-person look. LoadUp prices each item online and locks the total before anyone arrives, which helps in a rural town where sending a truck out just for an estimate isn't quick or cheap.
Household hazardous waste isn't part of a standard junk pickup and can't go in the trash under Vermont law. LRSWMD hosts free household hazardous waste collections each spring and fall for member towns, including Craftsbury. Call the district at 802-888-7317 for the next event date and the accepted items list.
