When junk piles up, it takes over your time and your patience. Book LoadUp for a quick pickup and a clear price before you commit, so the Glen stays clutter-free.
You check which township your street falls under, dig through bulk rules, call a few haulers, and wait on callbacks that never come. Weeks later, the junk is still sitting in the basement.
Township bulk collection can work well when your items qualify and your timing lines up. But rules differ between Cheltenham and Abington, some items need special handling, and you still have to get everything from the basement to the curb yourself.
Many haulers want to see the job in person before quoting, then price by fractions of a truckload you can't easily judge. You block off an afternoon for the estimate and still may not know the final number until the truck is loaded.
Donation centers need items in good, resellable shape, and that standard makes sense. A scuffed dresser, a recliner with a broken lever, or a dated entertainment center often gets turned away, and you're left driving it back home.
A dumpster makes sense for a gut renovation, not for clearing out a garage or a spare bedroom. On narrow Glenside streets, a container can take up scarce parking for days, may need a permit, and leaves you doing all the lifting yourself.

Glenside's stone twins and old rowhomes were built long before anyone pictured a workbench or a sectional coming back up those narrow basement stairs. Your Loaders handle the carrying, the lifting, and the hauling, so your back keeps its weekend. Honestly, we love showing up for neighbors who keep these well-loved old houses going.
Glenside basements and attics tend to hold bulky things that are hard to carry out alone, so where each item ends up matters. Your Loader sorts by condition, aiming to keep usable pieces out of landfills when local options allow.
Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader handles the carrying, and availability depends on the item and the day's options.
Items that are worn or damaged but not donatable, like metal frames or old appliances, may be routed for recycling where available. Special handling can apply to refrigerant units and electronics.
Heavily damaged or soiled bulky pieces, such as a waterlogged sofa from a Glenside basement, are loaded by your Loader and taken to an appropriate disposal site. Township rules can differ across addresses.
A Freon-drained appliance or a TV tossed in the trash can be turned away or break state law, and these rules apply across Glenside's Cheltenham Township side, Montgomery County.
Cheltenham's special collection takes boards, poles, planks, decking, and fencing only under 3 feet long and 4 inches in diameter, with no concrete attached. Toilets, sinks, tubs, boilers, and radiators are excluded entirely, and each pile is capped at 4 by 3 by 3 feet.
State law requires Cheltenham to recycle most yard waste, which is composted at Waverly Road and offered back free to residents. To stop their spread, invasive plants are banned from leaf and garden collections and go with household refuse in bags marked "Invasive Plants."
Under the state's Covered Device Recycling Act, televisions, computers, and computer monitors cannot go out with household trash, and Cheltenham's bulk collection excludes televisions and computer components. Goodwill Keystone Area stores, through a partnership with Reworld, accept TVs and computer monitors for free drop-off.
The Public Works Facility accepts tires at its bulk drop-off only once they are off the rim. Drop-offs run Saturdays only, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with no bulk drop-offs taken Monday through Friday, and payment is check or card only.
Cheltenham's Saturday bulk drop-off takes large appliances such as washers, dryers, dishwashers, and air conditioners, but appliances already drained of Freon will not be accepted. Each large appliance also adds a per-appliance fee, so skip any do-it-yourself refrigerant removal.
Residents on Township curbside collection must recycle cardboard separately from other recyclables. Clean cardboard costs less to process than single-stream recycling, saving taxpayers money, and boxes can be dropped at the Waverly Road Compost Facility or the Public Works Facility.

(678) 884-4738Not unless it's regular trash in your cart or a scheduled pickup. Glenside spans Abington and Cheltenham Townships, so rules depend on your side. Abington offers scheduled large item pickups at 267-536-1036, and unscheduled piles can count as illegal dumping.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Glenside starts at $80 for a single item, and curbside 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 pickup is sometimes available, depending on Loader schedules in your area. Enter your Glenside zip code during booking to see live time slots. For curbside jobs you don't need to be home, and for in-home pickups someone should be there or leave access notes.
Yes. Abington Public Works holds two trash clean-out weeks a year. In 2026 they run April 13 to 17 and October 5 to 9. That's a good free option if your timing matches, but the township still restricts what can go out, so hazardous materials need other disposal.
Household chemicals like paint and solvents can't go in regular trash or curbside recycling. Montgomery County runs scheduled household hazardous waste events for residents, with registration required. Check the county's 2026 event list for dates and locations before you start a cleanout.
After pickup, Loaders sort items and try to donate usable pieces and recycle what they can, depending on what local charities and recyclers accept. Items that can't be donated or recycled are taken to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by job and item condition.
You enter your zip code online, pick the items to remove, and see your price before you book. On pickup day, Loaders arrive in your chosen window, haul the items out, and load them. The total you were quoted at booking is what you pay for the listed items.
The main difference is pricing and booking. The Junkluggers, which serves Glenside, offers free on-site estimates, and truck-based haulers typically price by load volume. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking, so no in-person estimate is needed.
