The Problem

Dunbar has options for junk, just not good ones

You search online, call City Hall, wait on hold, then request hauler quotes. One sends a vague estimate, another never calls back. Weeks later, the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Municipal pickup schedules usually come with fine print: limits on how much you can set out, items like appliances, tires, or paint that may be refused, and a request or set date you have to work around. You also still have to drag everything to the curb yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to walk your property before naming a figure, then charge by how much of the truck you fill, a number you only learn once loading starts. That means extra appointments, guesswork, and a final bill that can drift from what you expected.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities have to resell what they accept, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken electronics often get turned away. Even good pieces usually mean loading your own vehicle and driving them over during drop-off hours, with the rejects coming right back home.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container makes sense for a full renovation, not a basement corner. You may need a permit if it sits on the street, it ties up your driveway between delivery and pickup windows, neighbors may add to it, and you still do all 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.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Dunbar and the whole Kanawha Valley

Anyone who has tried to wrestle a sofa down a steep West Virginia hillside street, then hunt for a truck to borrow, knows a free Saturday can disappear fast. Your Loader handles the stairs, the tight driveways, and the heavy lifting, and honestly, showing up for Dunbar neighbors is the part we like best.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky furniture and worn-out appliances pile up fast, so where they end up matters in Dunbar. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring donation or recycling when local options allow, and disposal only when needed.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Sofas, dressers, and other items in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when possible and local options allow. Donation is not guaranteed, and you should not expect a receipt.

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

Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but not donatable, such as a broken appliance or old electronics, may be taken for recycling where available. Local acceptance varies, so some pieces may go elsewhere.

  • 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 items, like a soaked mattress or a collapsed couch, are loaded by your Loader and taken to an appropriate disposal site. Acceptance rules vary, so destinations are not guaranteed.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Dunbar disposal rules most residents don't know

Skipping a required pickup appointment or dumping brush in the wrong spot can bring a violation, and these are the rules that apply in Dunbar and Kanawha County.

Rule 01

Tube TVs and old monitors can go to the landfill again

West Virginia banned televisions with cathode ray tubes and old computer monitors from landfills in 2011, then lifted the ban in July 2016 after they kept turning up in illegal dumps. Landfills may still charge to accept them.

Rule 02

Tree limbs and hedge clippings can't go near roadsides

Dunbar bars dumping tree limbs, grass cuttings, weeds, or shrubbery cuttings on any street, alley, or right of way, or land within one hundred yards, without owner consent. Dumping from a vehicle counts as evidence against both owner and driver.

Rule 03

Moving day furniture piles need a scheduled pickup first

Dunbar's code defines moving set outs, eviction set outs, and any pile of multiple bags or large items like mattresses, box springs, and dressers as a large pickup. These must be scheduled in advance with the Public Works Department, or the set out is a violation.

Rule 04

Foam packing blocks have no recycling outlet in Kanawha County

The Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority notes that polystyrene foam plastic is technically recyclable but is not currently accepted for recycling in Kanawha County. Foam from furniture boxes and electronics packaging stays in the trash stream for now.

Rule 05

Long-standing junk piles in the yard are restricted too

Dunbar's code forbids letting trash, rubbish, or other offensive material collect or remain anywhere it harms neighbors or the public. It also bars obstructing or polluting any natural watercourse, which matters in a town on the Kanawha River.

Rule 06

Bagged trash needs a watertight lid, not a bare curb

Dunbar requires garbage set out for collection to sit in an approved container sealed with a watertight lid, put out no earlier than dusk the night before. Empty containers must come back from the collection point by 8:00 p.m.

Not unless it fits your regular household trash service. Bulk piles left out without arranging a pickup can be treated as illegal dumping. Call Dunbar city hall or your trash hauler to confirm what bulk items are accepted and when.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Dunbar starts at $80 for a single item, and curbside or driveway pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. The exact total is confirmed before booking.

Sometimes. Same-day and next-day slots depend on Loader availability in the Charleston area. Enter your address during booking to see the live openings. For curbside jobs you usually don't need to be home, and in-home jobs need access instructions.

Hazardous materials such as paint, solvents, chemicals and batteries usually can't go in household trash or a standard bulk pickup. Large or restricted items may also need special handling. Check with Dunbar city hall or the Kanawha County solid waste authority for current rules.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill, donating them to local charities when options allow and recycling what they can, depending on acceptance. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to the appropriate disposal facility.

You choose your items and enter your Dunbar address online, then pick an arrival window and see the full price before you confirm. Your Loader typically calls or texts ahead of arrival, then loads the items and hauls them away.

The main difference is pricing and booking. Many traditional haulers charge by truck volume and may confirm the price on site. LoadUp prices per item online and shows the total before booking. For a large cleanout, a truckload hauler can be a better fit.
