The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Dunwoody shouldn't take this long

You search, call the city or county, and request quotes from haulers. Some never call back, others quote a visit next week. Meanwhile the pile in your garage stays put, and another weekend slips by.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs cost nothing, but they come with rules. Certain items are excluded, pickups usually need to be requested ahead of time, and you still have to drag everything to the curb yourself. That rarely fits a basement cleanout or a tight timeline.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many traditional haulers want an in-person estimate before naming anything. Then pricing is tied to how much of a truck your load fills, so the final number can shift once they arrive. You wait on a callback and still can't plan around the cost.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers are right to be selective. They generally want items in good condition and turn away worn furniture, broken pieces, and mixed cleanout leftovers. You can spend an afternoon loading the car, only to bring part of it back home.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A rented dumpster makes sense for a gutted house, not for one cluttered room. It can involve permit questions, delivery and pickup timing, and a big container parked in the driveway or lot. Neighbors and HOAs may notice, and you still do all the loading.

Pickup Options

Set it at the curb or leave it where it sits

If the old treadmill or patio set is already sitting at the end of your driveway, curbside keeps things simple. When a sectional is stuck in a mid-rise apartment several floors up or a back bedroom of a sprawling ranch home, choose full-service and your Loaders carry it out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Dunwoody, from Chamblee Dunwoody Road to the last cul-de-sac

Anyone who has tried to cross the 285 and 400 interchange with a sofa strapped down knows how that errand goes. Dunwoody traffic turns a quick dump run into half a day, and transfer station lines don't help. Your Loaders do the lifting and loading, and they like showing up for neighbors who deserve their Saturdays back.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Dunwoody homes tend to hold a lot of bulky furniture and renovation leftovers, so where items end up matters. Your Loader sorts each load by condition, and when local options allow, usable pieces stay out of the landfill.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when possible and where local options allow. Your Loader carries them out from basements or garages, though no specific destination is guaranteed.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Dunwoody disposal rules most residents don't know

Leaving the wrong item at the curb can mean it sits uncollected or gets flagged by code enforcement. Here is how disposal works in Dunwoody and DeKalb County.

Rule 01

Schedule bulky furniture and mattress pickups in advance

Dunwoody households receive garbage service from DeKalb County Sanitation, and couches, mattresses, and other oversized pieces do not belong in the roll cart. Request a bulky item collection from the county first so nothing is left sitting at the curb uncollected.

Rule 02

Refrigerators and AC units need refrigerant removed first

Federal Clean Air Act rules require a certified technician to recover the refrigerant before a fridge, freezer, or window air conditioner is scrapped. When you buy a new unit, ask the retailer about haul-away. Otherwise, make sure the refrigerant is recovered before disposal.

Rule 03

Old tires stay out of household garbage carts

Georgia regulates scrap tires closely because dumped tires breed mosquitoes and feed fires that are hard to put out. Buyers already pay a state fee of $1 per new tire, so the easiest option is to leave old tires with the dealer when you replace them.

Rule 04

Car batteries and chemicals need separate disposal routes

Georgia bans lead-acid batteries from landfills, and most auto parts stores accept them for recycling. Keep paint, solvents, pesticides, and pool chemicals out of the cart and out of storm drains. Hold them for a household hazardous waste collection instead.

Rule 05

Bag yard trimmings in paper, not plastic

DeKalb County Sanitation collects yard trimmings separately from household garbage so they can be composted or mulched. Use biodegradable paper yard bags or a reusable container, cut limbs to manageable lengths, and keep plastic bags out of the yard pile.

Rule 06

Renovation debris is not part of regular curbside service

Drywall, lumber, roofing, and tile from remodeling projects are not part of normal household garbage collection. Georgia sends construction and demolition waste to permitted disposal facilities, so plan to haul it yourself, rent a container, or have your contractor remove it.

Not unless it's a scheduled collection. DeKalb County Solid Waste Management handles trash, yard waste and recycling for Dunwoody, and bulky items are collected by request. Customer Care is at 404-294-2900. Piles left out without a request risk being treated as illegal dumping.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Dunwoody starts at $75, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. Your exact total is confirmed before booking.

Often, yes. Same-day or next-day pickup is offered when you book before noon, depending on availability for your address. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access instructions at booking.

Hazardous materials, liquids, concrete products and Bagster bags are on DeKalb's list of items it won't take as bulky pickup. Tires go to Seminole Road Landfill for a fee. Dunwoody also hosts a yearly household hazardous waste and electronics recycling event, usually.

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

Pick your items online, choose a time window, and see your upfront price before you confirm. A Loader arrives in that window, loads the junk and hauls it away. Curbside items can be left out with access notes, so you don't have to be home.

The pricing model differs. College HUNKS offers free estimates, and traditional haulers generally price by truckload, so the final number can depend on volume. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before you book. For a large cleanout, a truckload quote may fit better.

It can be for big piles. DeKalb lists a $115 minimum fee and $258.80 per truckload for general special collection. For one or a few items, per-item pricing from LoadUp may cost less, and you pick the day instead of waiting on the county's schedule.
