When junk keeps piling up, it gets harder to ignore, especially out here in Murphys. LoadUp makes it simple: book an easy pickup, see your price upfront, and get your space back.
You search online, call the county, leave messages with a few haulers, and wait. One calls back, the rest go quiet. Weeks slip by, and the junk is still sitting in the garage.
Murphys has no city government, so there's no city bulk pickup program. What you can use depends on your hauler or the county. Pickups may need advance requests, cap what they'll take, and often skip mattresses, electronics, or anything that won't fit at the curb.
A lot of haulers want to see the job in person before they quote it, and out here that can take days to arrange. Then the price is based on how much of the truck you fill, so you don't really know the total until everything is loaded.
Donation spots have good reasons for turning things away. They only take items in good condition, they have limited room, and some won't accept mattresses or large pieces. Anything they turn down is still yours to deal with, so you need a backup plan.
A dumpster sits on your property for days, and a narrow road or sloped driveway can make dropping it off tricky. You still lift every heavy item into it yourself. For one room or a single rental turnover, you're paying for capacity you'll never use.

Your Loader carries a sleeper sofa down steep exterior deck stairs on a sloped lot, and every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Murphys after each job.
If your items are already outside at the end of a long rural driveway or beside the garage, curbside pickup is the simpler fit. If you're turning over a vacation rental between guests or anything is still in a back bedroom or storage loft, choose full-service and your Loader carries it out from where it sits.

Let's be honest, strapping an old mattress to a truck and winding down two-lane foothill roads to a distant transfer station is nobody's idea of a good Saturday, especially after wrestling it up a long driveway. Your Loader handles the lifting, carrying, and loading instead, because the people of Murphys deserve their weekends back.
Bulky items rarely leave a foothill property the same way twice, which is why where things end up matters in Murphys. Your Loader sorts each load by condition, favoring donation or recycling when local options allow.
Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when local options allow. Options around Murphys can be limited, so your Loader will sort items by condition rather than promise a destination.
Items that are worn or damaged but still hold usable materials, like metal frames or some appliances, may be recycled where available. Your Loader sorts them with that in mind, though small-town options vary.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or broken bulky items are taken for responsible disposal, typically through a Calaveras County transfer station or landfill. Your Loader handles the lifting, loading, and hauling from your Murphys property.
Show up at the wrong county facility or after 4:15 p.m. and your load gets turned away, so here is how disposal actually works in Murphys and Calaveras County.
Mixed construction and demolition loads cost $8 per cubic yard and are accepted only at Rock Creek in Milton. Dirt also counts as a mixed load. Separated loads of metal or rubble like concrete, asphalt, ceramics and tile are accepted at no charge.
Appliances with Freon must be kept out of household trash. If a fridge, freezer or air conditioner has already been drained or serviced, the county won't take it without paperwork from a Certified Appliance Recycler. There are no exceptions. Intact units get drained by a certified recycler.
Calaveras County doesn't accept solar panels at the Rock Creek Landfill or at any of its transfer stations, including Red Hill near Vallecito. Homeowners removing a rooftop system will need to arrange disposal outside the county system.
Clearing brush to protect your home from wildfire? Red Hill's yard waste area near Vallecito accepts up to 4 cubic yards per day. Logs over 3 feet wide or 4 feet long are refused, and palm fronds and oleander are accepted only at Rock Creek in Milton.
Rock Creek in Milton is a drop-off site for Bye Bye Mattress and takes mattresses and box springs for free. This statewide program from the Mattress Recycling Council recycles more than 1.5 million mattresses a year in California, keeping them out of landfills.
California transportation law limits each vehicle to 15 gallons of liquid hazardous waste, in containers no bigger than 5 gallons, or 125 pounds of solids. Rock Creek's permanent collection site takes propane tanks up to 25 gallons, but only within those limits.

(678) 884-4738Not as a free drop-off. Murphys is unincorporated, so service runs through Calaveras County and your private trash hauler, and loose items left out can count as illegal dumping. Check your hauler and Calaveras County Integrated Waste Management for bulky item options.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Murphys starts at $75, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on charge, and your exact total is confirmed before booking.
Availability depends on the schedule in your area. Enter your address when booking to see open times, which can include same-day or next-day slots. Foothill locations farther from town may have fewer openings, so booking a bit ahead helps.
Not for curbside or driveway pickups, as long as the items are accessible and you leave notes. For indoor pickups, someone should be there or you can give access instructions at booking. Your Loaders typically call or text before they arrive.
Household hazardous waste like paint, chemicals, and batteries generally can't go in regular trash. Calaveras County's transfer stations, such as Avery, take some items like electronics, fluorescent lights, and household batteries. Confirm accepted items with the county first.
Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle materials whenever options allow, depending on acceptance at local facilities. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to a proper disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition and what nearby partners will take.
Self-hauling to a Calaveras County transfer station can cost less if you have a truck and time, and the county is the right place for hazardous items. Hiring LoadUp makes sense for heavy or bulky pieces, since the price is set online before pickup.
The pricing model differs. Traditional haulers usually price by truck volume and confirm the total on site. LoadUp prices per item online, so the total is confirmed before booking and nobody has to guess the load size at your door.
