Junk has a way of piling up until it's one more thing on your list. Book LoadUp, see your real price upfront, and get it all picked up fast, right here in the SLV.
You search for options, call the county, leave messages with a couple of haulers, and wait on callbacks that never come. Meanwhile the old furniture stays in the carport and another weekend slips by.
Felton is unincorporated, so there's no city bulk pickup program. Any county or hauler collection, where available, usually means booking ahead, sticking to item limits, and dragging everything out to the road yourself. That's a lot to ask on a steep or narrow driveway.
Lots of haulers want to come look before they give you a price, and that's hard to schedule on a mountain road. Then you get a vague truckload fraction and a number that can change once the crew sees how far back the shed is.
Donation centers only take items they can resell, so anything stained, broken, or worn out from damp redwood-shaded storage gets turned away. You still have to haul it there yourself and then figure out what to do with whatever they won't take.
A roll-off container needs a flat, open place to sit, and plenty of wooded lots and tight shared driveways in the valley don't have one. On top of that you're juggling delivery windows, rental days, and neighbors, and you still do all the lifting.

Your Loaders carry a sofa down narrow cabin stairs or haul boxes up from a shed set below a sloped driveway. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Felton after each job.
If you can get items to the foot of your driveway or beside the road, choose curbside (outdoor) pickup. For a hillside home with long exterior steps, or a cabin still full of furniture, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry everything out from inside.

Anyone who lives up here knows a sofa never feels heavier than on a steep driveway, and a dump run never feels longer than on winding mountain roads with a load rattling in the truck bed. Your Loaders handle the lifting, carrying, and loading where a truck can safely reach, because Felton neighbors deserve an easier weekend.
Getting bulky items out of a wooded mountain community is only half the job, and where they end up matters too. In Felton, your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring donation or recycling when possible.
Furniture, appliances, and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when possible and when local options allow. Your Loader sets these aside rather than sending usable items straight to disposal.
Items that are worn or damaged but not donatable, like broken electronics or scrap metal, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them during loading so recyclable materials stay out of the trash.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, such as ruined mattresses or waterlogged furniture, are taken for responsible disposal at an appropriate local facility after your Loader finishes loading the truck.
Bringing the wrong load to the Ben Lomond Transfer Station can mean a detour to Watsonville. Here is what applies in Felton and unincorporated Santa Cruz County.
Household hazardous waste drop-off is free for residents of unincorporated Santa Cruz County. It does not take compressed gas cylinders over 1 pound, ammunition, marine flares, or nitrous oxide canisters. Paint is limited to 15 gallons per day, and PaintCare locations take more.
The Ben Lomond Transfer Station does not accept lumber, stumps, root balls, logs, or wood and yard waste longer than 6 feet or more than 8 inches in diameter. You can cut fallen limbs down to size or take oversized wood to the Buena Vista Landfill.
In unincorporated Santa Cruz County, GreenWaste Recovery service includes three bulky item pickups and four extra bin setouts per year at no added cost. The county promotes the program as a legal way to get rid of large items such as furniture and appliances instead of dumping them.
California treats chemically treated wood as treated wood waste, separate from regular lumber, because its preservatives can contain toxic chemicals. County sites take it on a limited schedule: Ben Lomond Monday through Saturday in limited amounts, and Buena Vista only Tuesday through Thursday.
In July 2025, Santa Cruz County raised illegal dumping penalties to $2,500 for a first offense, $5,000 for a second, and $10,000 for a third. Surveillance cameras at dumping hotspots have already led to a misdemeanor referral to the Sheriff's Office.
Ben Lomond accepts no dirt, potting soil, rocks, sand, or base rock. Those materials go to the Buena Vista Landfill. So do large loads of construction and demolition debris, concrete, brick, and asphalt, and some are accepted at discounted rates if properly sorted.

(678) 884-4738No. Items left at the curb without a scheduled pickup can count as illegal dumping in Santa Cruz County. Felton is unincorporated, so service runs through the county and your hauler. Ask your trash provider whether it offers bulky item pickup.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Felton starts at $75, and pickup from the curb or driveway takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee and each additional item is a flat add-on, with the exact total confirmed before booking. Truckload haulers usually quote by volume.
Sometimes. Availability depends on Loader schedules in the San Lorenzo Valley, so enter your address at booking to see the open slots. Curbside or driveway pickups usually don't require you to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access notes.
Not always. Paint, chemicals, batteries and other hazardous waste generally can't go in regular trash or a junk load, and Santa Cruz County runs separate hazardous waste drop-off options. Narrow redwood roads and steep driveways can also affect how a large item gets hauled out, so mention access when you book.
Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance at local facilities. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to the appropriate disposal site. Donation and recycling aren't guaranteed for every item, but landfill is the last option.
You pick your items and a time window online and see your price upfront. Your Loader calls or texts before arriving, then carries the items out and loads them, so you don't need to lift anything. You pay after the job, and the total matches what you confirmed at booking.
The pricing model. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King typically price by truck volume and may confirm the final price on site. LoadUp prices per item online before anyone arrives. For a full garage cleanout, a volume-based quote may suit you better.
Often yes, as long as Loaders can reach the items safely. Tell us at booking if your home has a steep or narrow driveway, a gate, or stairs. Moving the items to a driveway or curb can also qualify you for the $5 outdoor pickup discount.
