The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Franklin takes longer than it should

You check the city website, leave a voicemail, and request a few hauler quotes. One calls back, one wants to visit first, one never answers. Weeks go by, and the junk is still sitting there.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Municipal pickup schedules can be a good deal if your items fit the rules. Some things get turned away, you usually have to request a slot ahead of time, and you still have to drag everything out to the street yourself before pickup day.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many old-school haulers want to see the job in person before giving you a number. Then the price depends on how much of the truck your stuff fills, so you don't really know what you'll pay until everything is already loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities need things they can actually resell, so stained, broken, or worn-out pieces often get turned down. Even when they will take something, you usually have to load it, drive it over, and figure out what to do with whatever they don't want.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A big roll-off container on your driveway for days is a lot for one room or a shed's worth of stuff. You may need to sort out delivery, pickup, and possibly a permit, the neighbors have to look at it, and you still do all the lifting yourself.

Pickup Options

Set it by the driveway or leave it where it sits

Choose curbside when the old recliner or washer is already outside by the street or at the end of your driveway, which can be a long stretch on Franklin's larger lots. Go with full-service when it is still in a back bedroom or a detached shed, and your Loaders will bring it out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Franklin, from the Blackwater River to the county lines

Borrowing a neighbor's truck, strapping down an old recliner, and rattling down long country roads just to drop it off can swallow a whole Saturday. Your Loaders would rather do the lifting, from the porch, the shed, or the back bedroom. Franklin looks out for its own, and LoadUp and your Loaders love showing up for you.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Big, bulky items are hard to move alone, and where they end up matters in a small city like Franklin. Your Loader checks each piece's condition and sorts it toward donation, recycling, or disposal when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, appliances, and household goods in good, clean shape may be set aside for donation when possible. Your Loader lifts them out of the house or porch and sorts them with that option in mind.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor
See donation pickup
Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for reuse, like broken metal frames or old appliances, may be taken to recycling where available. Your Loader separates them as the job is loaded.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs
See common questions
Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or unusable bulky items, such as a ruined mattress or waterlogged furniture, go to responsible disposal. Your Loaders load them from the yard or shed and take them to an appropriate local facility.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Franklin disposal rules most residents don't know

Curbside piles that break Franklin's rules can go uncollected and end up billed to the property owner. These are the rules that apply in Franklin and the Southampton County area.

Rule 01

Amnesty Week lets city customers clear big piles free

Franklin periodically holds an Amnesty Week on each home's regular trash day. Current city customers, both owners and tenants, get a one-time chance to set out large amounts of trash, junk, and debris free of charge.

Rule 02

Storm-downed limbs must be cut to four feet for pickup

Franklin collects limbs and branches only when they are cut to four feet or shorter and piled neatly at the curb. It won't take trees over six inches in diameter or lot-clearing material, which matters most after storms bring down whole trees.

Rule 03

Paint and chemicals go to quarterly SPSA collection days

Franklin's curbside service won't take paint or hazardous materials. Instead, SPSA holds household hazardous waste and e-waste days at its Franklin Transfer Station on the last Thursday of January, April, July, and October, with limits of five gallons of liquid or 75 pounds of solids per day.

Rule 04

Keep curbside piles out of ditches and gutter pans

Franklin's code says travel lanes, parking lanes, gutter pans, and drainage ditches don't count as collection sites, which helps keep water draining in heavy rain. If waste set out against the rules isn't removed within five calendar days, the City removes it and charges the landowner $250 plus tipping fees.

Rule 05

Furniture and appliance pickup is limited to four items

Franklin picks up furniture and white goods, the code's term for discarded appliances, by appointment on Wednesdays, up to four items. If you set out more than four, the City won't pick them up, and larger loads require special arrangements with the City.

Rule 06

Demolition debris from home projects is excluded from curbside pickup

Franklin's curbside service does not collect demolition debris. The city code counts lumber, brick, concrete, plaster, shingles, and similar material from repairs, additions, new construction, or demolition as construction and demolition debris, a separate category from bulky household junk.

Only what fits in the city-provided container on your regular collection day. Franklin Public Works collects household refuse on a set schedule, and oversized piles aren't part of that routine service. Call the city to confirm what counts as bulk before setting anything out.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Franklin starts at $85, and curbside or outdoor 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.

Sometimes, depending on Loader availability for your address and the time you book. Enter your zip code during booking to see live openings. For curbside pickups you generally don't need to be home, but indoor jobs need someone present or access instructions.

Franklin is a member community of SPSA, the regional solid waste authority, which runs transfer stations including one serving Franklin. Hours and fees vary by site and material, so check SPSA before loading up. Self-hauling is cheaper for small loads if you have a truck.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle materials like metal or electronics whenever possible, depending on what local charities and recyclers accept. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility, which in this area typically means the regional SPSA system.

You choose your items online, see the price, and pick a pickup window. A Loader typically calls or texts ahead of arrival, then removes the items from inside or outside your property. The total is locked in before booking, so there's no estimate at the door.

The main difference is pricing and booking. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King usually price by truckload and often confirm cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online upfront. For a full-house cleanout, a truckload quote may fit better.
