The Problem

Getting junk out of Fountain takes more than it should

You check what the county accepts, call a few haulers, and wait on callbacks that never come. Meanwhile the old couch stays on the porch, and another weekend slips by with the junk still sitting there.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Free bulk pickup can work when your items fit the rules. Many municipal pickup schedules turn down appliances, construction scraps, or loose brush, need you to request a slot ahead of time, and expect everything hauled to the road first. That's a lot to ask with a long driveway.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to drive out and look before they'll give you a number, and a small town can be a long trip for them. Then the price depends on how full the truck looks, so you don't really know what you're paying until the job is done.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Giving things away feels good, but donation spots only take items that are clean, working, and easy to sell. Stained mattresses, worn recliners, and broken electronics usually get turned away, and you still have to load and drive everything there yourself.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container makes sense for a full tear-out, not for a cluttered spare room. You're booking delivery and pickup, losing part of your yard or drive for days, and still carrying every heavy piece out and lifting it over the wall yourself.

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.

Background-checked Loaders you can trust with the heavy lifting

Steep attic stairs and tight back halls in older country homes take patience and a steady grip. Your Loaders are background-checked and rated by real locals in Fountain after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set out by the drive or carried from inside

Curbside is a good fit when the old washer or broken push mower is already waiting at the end of a long driveway or beside a detached garage. Pick full-service when items are still inside the house or a back storage room, and your Loaders will carry them out to the truck for you.

Serving Fountain and out across western Pitt County

Making a disposal run toward Greenville or Farmville with a truck bed full of old recliners can swallow most of a Saturday, and then you still have to drive home. Skip it. Your Loaders carry the heavy stuff down the driveway and load it up, because Fountain folks have earned an easier weekend.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast on larger lots, and Fountain homeowners want them gone responsibly. Your Loader sorts each piece by condition, so donation or recycling happens when local options allow and disposal covers the rest.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, appliances, and household goods in good, clean shape may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader carries these pieces out separately, though nearby outlets can be limited.

  • 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, like old electronics or metal-heavy appliances, may be recycled where available. Your Loader loads them apart from the general debris when possible.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Fountain disposal rules most residents don't know

Dumping or even accidentally littering waste outside a designated facility is unlawful under county ordinance, so these are the disposal rules that apply in Fountain and across Pitt County.

Rule 01

Brush piles saved for burning do not count as storage

Pitt County requires yard waste to be stored so it does not attract rodents or create a fire hazard, a real concern in eastern North Carolina's warm, humid months. County collection sites accept only small yard waste such as brush and small branches.

Rule 02

Spotted a good chair at the drop-off? Taking it is prohibited

Pitt County's solid waste ordinance bars anyone from removing or salvaging anything from county collection sites, the Transfer Station, or other county facilities unless the county authorizes it. Reusable furniture is better offered for donation before it ever reaches a bin.

Rule 03

Refrigerators and washing machines must be kept apart from trash

The county ordinance requires everyone using Pitt County facilities to separate white goods from the rest of their waste. Collection sites take refrigerators, washing machines, and similar items as their own material, so an old appliance never belongs with bagged household garbage.

Rule 04

Weekly Tuesday carts handle trash, while county sites take mattresses

The Town of Fountain contracts with GFL Environmental for weekly Tuesday trash and recycling, with carts set out Monday night and pulled back Tuesday night. Pitt County collection sites, including the one in Fountain, separately accept furniture, mattresses, and chairs.

Rule 05

Liquid paint gets refused, so let it dry out first

Pitt County's household hazardous waste guidance is direct: liquid paint cannot be accepted, and residents are told to dry it out. Household hazardous waste is also not taken at regular residential collection sites and must go to the county Transfer Station instead.

Rule 06

Renovation debris skips the neighborhood site for the Transfer Station

Construction debris goes to the county Transfer Station, not residential collection sites, and the ordinance requires noncombustible construction debris be separated from other waste. Business waste is likewise refused at residential sites and must go to the Transfer Station or a private disposal company.

Not for long. Pitt County does not provide curbside trash pickup, and bulky items like furniture can't stay outside more than 72 hours under the county ordinance. Fountain residents can use the county collection site at 3879 U.S. Highway 258.

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

Same-day and next-day pickup are often available, but in a small rural town like Fountain it depends on Loader availability near you. Enter your address during booking to see the real openings. For curbside pickups, you don't need to be home.

Pitt County runs a collection site in Fountain at 3879 U.S. Highway 258, phone 252-947-6626. Its Transfer Station at 3025 Landfill Road in Greenville is open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon. Self-hauling is cheaper if you have a truck.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating them to local charities when options allow. Recyclable materials go to recyclers depending on acceptance, and whatever can't be reused or recycled is taken to the proper disposal facility.

Book online, choose your items and a pickup window, and see the full price before you confirm. A Loader typically gives notice before arriving, then removes the items and hauls them away. Curbside pickup needs no one home, and indoor jobs need access arranged.
