When junk piles up, it becomes one more thing on a busy to-do list. Book a LoadUp pickup in Calera, see your price upfront, and get your space back.
You search online, call about the city's pickup program, request a few hauler quotes, and wait. One calls back, one never does. Meanwhile, the junk keeps sitting in the garage, week after week.
City bulk pickup programs can work well for the right items, but they run on a municipal schedule, usually need a request ahead of time, and may turn away certain materials. You still have to drag everything to the street yourself and hope it's gone before the HOA notices.
Many haulers want to send someone out for an in-person estimate before they'll give you a number. Then the quote is based on a guess at how much of the truck you'll fill, so you don't know the final cost until the work is done.
Donation centers have to be careful about what they accept, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and older appliances often get turned away. Even when they take something, you still have to load it, drive it over, and figure out what to do with everything they won't take.
A roll-off container makes sense for a full gut renovation. For a spare bedroom or a garage corner, you're stuck with delivery windows, a big bin on your driveway for days, neighbors watching, and you still have to carry and toss every heavy piece in yourself.

If you live in a subdivision home with a driveway and the worn-out patio set or old recliner is already sitting out front, curbside is the simple choice. For a dresser in an upstairs bedroom or a chest freezer at the back of the garage, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry it out for you.

If you commute I-65 toward Birmingham, you already know how much of your week the road claims. Nobody wants a weekend of wrestling an old recliner into a truck bed on top of that. Your Loaders carry it out and haul it away, because folks here deserve their Saturdays back.
Not every old sofa, mattress, or appliance belongs in the same place once it leaves your home. In Calera, your Loader sorts items by condition, so usable pieces and worn-out ones can each head the right direction.
Furniture, appliances, and household goods in clean, working shape may be donated where available. Your Loader carries them out and, when local options allow, sets them aside for a donation channel instead of the trash.
Items that are damaged but not suited for donation, like scrap metal, worn appliances, or old electronics, may be recycled when possible. Your Loader separates them from the rest of the load when local options allow.
Heavily damaged or soiled big items, like a ruined sofa or a waterlogged mattress, go to responsible disposal. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, so you never haul bulky debris yourself.
A load turned away at the landfill means a second trip with everything still on board, so these are the rules that apply in Calera and Shelby County.
Shelby County falls under a seasonal open burning ban from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management that runs May 1 through October 31, tied to summer ozone. Brush and leaves from spring storm cleanup can instead go through Calera's scheduled yard debris pickup.
The Shelby County Highway 70 Landfill between Calera and Columbiana does not accept vehicle tires, even on free days. Tires left over from a garage or yard cleanout need a separate tire disposal route rather than the regular load.
Shelby County opens the Highway 70 Landfill free to residents on two Saturdays in 2026, March 28 and October 3. Every participant must be unloaded and exited by 3:30 p.m., which makes a late arrival with a full trailer risky.
Calera does not currently run a recycling program, so cardboard has no curbside recycling route. New residents can request a one-time collection of moving boxes from the city after moving into a residence, which keeps a pile of boxes from crowding the weekly can.
The Highway 70 Landfill does not accept liquid wastes of any type, along with hazardous waste. Half-full cans and jugs from a garage cleanout need to be pulled from a load before it heads there. This holds on free landfill days too.
Starting May 1, 2026, everyone entering the construction and demolition working cell or the municipal solid waste cell at the Highway 70 Landfill must wear a hard hat and safety vest, and the county says it will strictly enforce it.

For curbside or driveway pickups, no. Leave the items out and add access notes at booking. For items inside your home, someone should be there or you can give entry instructions. Your Loader contacts you before arriving.
Hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, fuel, and asbestos are usually off limits for haulers, and Shelby County disposal sites may restrict them too. Large or heavy items such as appliances and furniture are generally fine. Confirm unusual items at booking.
Loaders aim to keep items out of the landfill whenever options allow. Usable furniture and household goods may be donated depending on acceptance, recyclables like metal and some electronics go to recyclers when possible, and the rest goes to an appropriate disposal facility.
You pick your items and your address online, choose an available time window, and see your total before confirming. On pickup day, your Loader arrives, removes the items from where you've pointed, and takes them away. Curbside items can be ready beforehand.
The pricing model and booking flow differ. Many traditional haulers price by truck space and may confirm the cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms your total before booking. For a full garage cleanout, a truckload hauler may suit you better.
