Junk piles up fast and gets harder to ignore. Up in the Hermon hills, LoadUp makes it simple: book a pickup, see your price upfront, and get your space back.
You search online, call the county's hauler and get put on hold, request a few quotes, and hear back from maybe one. Weeks go by, and the pile in the garage hasn't moved.
There's no city here, so any free bulk collection comes through the county's contracted hauler, usually with a limited number of items, advance scheduling, and restrictions on certain materials. You still have to get everything down to the road yourself, and that's hard work on a wooded hillside lot.
Many haulers want to come out and look before they give you a number, and up here that can mean waiting days for a visit. Then the quote is based on truckload fractions you can't check, and the final price can still change once loading starts.
Thrift stores and charities only accept items they can resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and older appliances often get turned away. Even when they will take something, you're usually the one loading it and driving it down winding mountain roads to drop it off.
A roll-off container needs a flat, open spot that many forested lots simply don't have, plus delivery and pickup windows and possibly a permit if it sits on the road. For a single room or a few bulky pieces, it's more container, and more hassle, than you need.

If the old recliner is already sitting where your driveway meets the road, curbside is the simpler choice. If it is still in a cabin loft, a detached shed, or under-house storage, choose full-service so your Loaders carry it out, and note any gates, shared gravel drives, or tight parking when you book so your Loader can plan access.

Anyone who lives up here knows a dump run means a slow, winding drive with a mattress bungeed to the roof and a prayer. Skip it. Your Loaders lift the old stuff out, carry it to the truck, and haul it away. Showing up for neighbors on these roads is the part they like best.
Bulky items pile up fast in a mountain community like Mount Hermon, and where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts each load by condition, steering items toward reuse, recycling, or disposal when local options allow.
Furniture and household goods in good, clean shape may be set aside for donation when possible. Your Loader will sort these items separately, though availability depends on local options in Santa Cruz County.
Items that are worn or damaged but still have usable materials, like metal frames, appliances, or electronics, may be sorted for recycling where available. Your Loader will separate them from the rest of the load.
Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items that can't be reused or recycled go to an appropriate disposal site. Your Loader will load and haul them so you skip the trip over mountain roads.
Illegal dumping in unincorporated Santa Cruz County now draws fines starting at $2,500 for a first offense, so here is how disposal works in Mount Hermon.
The household hazardous waste area at Ben Lomond closed August 21, 2026. Unincorporated residents can drop off paints, pesticides, and pool chemicals free at the City of Santa Cruz Resource Recovery Facility or Buena Vista Landfill, up to 15 gallons of paint per day.
Santa Cruz County accepts used mattresses at no cost at both the Ben Lomond Transfer Station and Buena Vista Landfill. That gives residents a free, legal option for one of the bulkiest and hardest to move items in any cleanout.
Winter storms in the San Lorenzo Valley often bring down limbs, but the Ben Lomond Transfer Station will not take logs, stumps, or root balls over 6 feet long or 8 inches in diameter. Oversized wood goes to Buena Vista Landfill instead.
California classifies household batteries and many electronics as universal waste that cannot go in regular trash. Standard curbside service in unincorporated Santa Cruz County already includes household battery collection and small electronic waste collection, along with used motor oil and filter collection.
The Ben Lomond Transfer Station does not accept dirt, potting soil, rocks, sand, or base rock. Those materials, along with large loads of construction and demolition debris, concrete, brick, and asphalt, go to Buena Vista Landfill, where properly sorted loads can qualify for discounted rates.
GreenWaste Recovery customers in unincorporated Santa Cruz County, including Mount Hermon, get three bulky item pickups per year at no additional cost for large items such as furniture and appliances. The county promotes the program as a way to prevent illegal dumping.

(678) 884-4738Generally no. Mount Hermon is unincorporated Santa Cruz County, and junk left outside without a scheduled pickup can be treated as illegal dumping. Check with your garbage hauler or the county Public Works for bulky item options before setting anything out.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Mount Hermon starts at $75 for a single item, and curbside or outdoor pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge, with the exact total confirmed before booking.
Sometimes. Same-day slots depend on Loader availability around the Felton and Scotts Valley area, so entering your address during booking shows live options. Next-day is more common. For curbside pickups you usually don't need to be home.
Hazardous items such as paint, solvents, batteries, and chemicals can't go in household trash or be hauled like ordinary junk in California. Take them to a county household hazardous waste drop-off. Confirm accepted items and hours with Santa Cruz County before you go.
Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle materials whenever possible, depending on what local charities and recyclers accept. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition.
Pick your items and address online, choose a time window, and see the total before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader typically calls ahead, then carries the items out and loads them, including from tight or hilly spots, so you don't have to move anything.
It can be, if you have a truck and the time. Santa Cruz County landfill and transfer station fees apply, plus fuel and a drive down the mountain. For heavy or bulky loads, or when you lack a vehicle, a paid pickup often saves effort.
Pricing model and booking flow. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King usually price by truckload and may confirm the cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before booking. For larger cleanouts, a truckload quote can fit better.
