The Problem

Homewood has junk options, just not easy ones

You search online, call city hall, and request a few hauler quotes. One calls back with a vague range, another never replies, and weeks later the junk still sits in your garage, waiting.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Homewood's city bulk pickup programs can help, but they work on the city's timeline, not yours. Rules about accepted items, how much you set out, and how to request service vary, and you still have to drag everything to the street yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to send someone out for an estimate before they'll name a price, then quote by the fraction of a truck. You won't know the final number until the truck is loaded, which makes planning around a West Homewood cleanout feel like guesswork.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers want items in good, sellable condition, and that's fair. A stained recliner, a cracked dresser, or an outdated entertainment center usually gets turned away, which leaves you hauling it home again or hunting for another place to take it.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container makes sense for a gut renovation, not a single spare room. On tight Edgewood lots you may need to sort out permits, delivery windows, and a driveway blocked for days, plus neighbors wondering how long it will stay.

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.

Local Haulers

Vetted Loaders you can count on at your door

Hauling a dresser up from a basement with a steep, narrow staircase takes care, and your Loaders handle it. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Homewood after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it by the curb or leave it where it sits

Curbside works well when a patio set or a stack of boxed clutter is already sitting at the end of your driveway. For a treadmill in an upstairs bedroom or a desk in an apartment near Samford, full-service lets your Loaders carry it out from inside, so nothing has to come down a sloped Homewood driveway on your own.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Homewood, from the Red Mountain ridge to Shades Creek

Anyone who has crawled down Highway 31 on a Saturday with a dresser strapped to a borrowed truck knows how that goes: slow, sweaty, and a little humbling. Skip it. Your Loaders lift, carry, and load from your garage or porch, and they genuinely like helping Homewood neighbors get their weekends back.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Where a couch, dresser, or old bookshelf ends up matters as much as getting it out of the house. In Homewood, your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring reuse and recycling when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when possible. Your Loader carries them out and loads them separately, though acceptance depends on what local donation channels can take.

  • 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 donatable, like bent metal frames or broken fixtures, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them during loading when local recycling options allow.

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

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, such as a water-ruined sofa or a collapsed mattress, are handled through responsible disposal. Your Loader does the lifting and loading from wherever the item sits.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Homewood disposal rules most residents don't know

Set debris out the wrong way and the claw truck can skip it, leaving the pile curbside another week. These rules apply in Homewood, Jefferson County.

Rule 01

Keep curbside debris piles clear of mailboxes and storm drains

Homewood's claw truck collects large piles of limbs, brush, and bulk yard debris weekly without a request, but it needs room to position itself. Keep piles on the curb, never in the street, and away from utility poles, signs, and walls.

Rule 02

Food scraps and diapers must be bagged before going in the cart

Homewood defines garbage as food or organic matter, like diapers, that will rot and cause odor or pest problems. It should be bagged before going in the cart, and both weekly collection days accept it, so it never has to sit long.

Rule 03

Contractors must haul away the construction debris they create

Homewood requires contractors to remove all construction and landscaping debris they generate. That means leftover material from a remodel or a landscaping job is the contractor's responsibility, not the city's. Settle debris removal in the contract before work begins.

Rule 04

Save recyclables for your first collection day of the week

Homewood's Monday or Tuesday cart takes garbage and recycling together to RePower in Montgomery for sorting. Everything in the Thursday or Friday cart goes to the landfill, so hold flattened boxes and other recyclables for the first pickup.

Rule 05

Extra household trash needs another cart, not loose bags

Homewood allows up to three carts at the curb, and other carts also qualify if they hold at least 45 gallons. The city asks residents not to pile bags around carts, so overflow from a cleanout needs to go inside a cart.

Rule 06

Three bags of leaves or fewer belong inside the cart

Small loads of leaves, pine straw, grass clippings, or small limbs go in your garbage cart for Amwaste. The claw truck only picks up bagged yard debris when there are at least four bags, so three bags left curbside will stay there.

Only certain things. Amwaste collects bagged household garbage and recycling from up to three carts, and the city's claw truck takes yard debris piles like limbs and brush. Other bulk junk left out may not be collected, so confirm with Homewood Public Works.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Homewood starts at $75 for a single item, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $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.

Often, yes. Same-day or next-day pickup is offered when you book before 12pm, depending on availability. For curbside pickups you generally don't need to be home. For items inside, someone should be present or you can leave access instructions when booking.

Household hazardous waste like paint, solvents, and stains doesn't belong in regular garbage. Jefferson County hosts free drop-off events for hazardous waste and electronics throughout the year. Large furniture and mixed junk may also fall outside the city's regular routes and claw truck.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance at local facilities. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility. Donation and recycling outcomes can't be guaranteed for every item.

You pick your items and a time slot online, see the total upfront, and confirm. Loaders typically text or call before arriving, then remove and load the junk themselves. The price you were quoted is what you pay, with no in-person estimate required.

Mainly in pricing and booking. Traditional haulers usually price by truck space and may confirm the total on site. LoadUp prices per item online before anyone arrives. For a large cleanout that fills a truck, a truckload hauler can be the better fit.
