When junk keeps piling up, getting rid of it shouldn't turn into a project. Book LoadUp in Running Springs, see your quote upfront, and get a quick, easy pickup.
You search online, call the county, leave messages with a few haulers, and wait. One sends a vague quote, another never calls back. Weeks later, the junk is still sitting in the garage.
County and hauler bulky item programs help, but you usually have to request a slot ahead of time, stay under item limits, and haul everything to the pickup spot yourself. Snow, steep driveways, and items they won't take can all get in the way.
Many haulers want to drive up and look before they'll give you a number, and that trip up the mountain can take days to schedule. Then the price depends on how much of the truck they decide your load fills.
Thrift stores and charities only take items they can resell, so stained, broken, or worn pieces get turned away. Most won't pick up from a cabin up here either, which means loading and driving everything down SR-18 yourself.
A roll-off container takes up your driveway or the road shoulder for days, and on narrow, sloped lots it may not fit at all. If you're clearing out one room or turning over a rental, you're paying for space you won't use.

Hauling an old sofa down SR-18, curve after curve with the load shifting behind you, is nobody's idea of a good Saturday. Your Loaders handle the lifting, carrying, and loading, even from a sloped driveway, so you can stay home with the pines. We like showing up for the neighbors who live up here.
Hauling a worn-out sofa or a cabin's worth of bulky furniture down the hill is a real chore in Running Springs. Where each item ends up depends on its condition, and your Loaders sort with that in mind.
Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when possible. Your Loaders set those pieces aside for local donation channels where available. Please don't expect a donation receipt.
Items that are damaged but still have usable materials, like metal frames or appliances, may be recycled when local options allow. Your Loaders separate them from the rest of the load where possible.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, such as broken furniture or ruined mattresses, go to proper disposal. California limits on hazardous and regulated items still apply to every pickup.
Putting banned items in the trash or skipping required paperwork can lead to violation notices or rejected loads, so here is how disposal works in Running Springs and unincorporated San Bernardino County.
Running Springs is in a high fire hazard area, and California law requires clearing flammable vegetation within 100 feet of buildings in these zones. Pine needles, brush, and branches cut for defensible space can go to the county's Heaps Peak Transfer Station near town.
State law treats refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners as materials requiring special handling. Refrigerants and any mercury switches must be removed by a certified party before the appliance can be crushed or recycled, because releasing these chemicals harms air quality and the ozone layer.
Running Springs is part of the county's Crestline, Running Springs, and Lake Arrowhead service area, where every household subscribes to Mountain Disposal Services. The county states that pickup of bulky items and e-waste is included at no extra cost and is arranged by request.
Under California's green building code, many permitted construction and demolition projects must recycle or reuse at least 65 percent of nonhazardous debris. San Bernardino County ties this to the permit process, requiring a waste management plan and proof of diversion before final sign-off.
California classifies household batteries, fluorescent lamps, and many electronics as universal waste, and it has been illegal to put them in household garbage statewide since 2006. These items contain mercury, lead, or other metals that can leach out of landfills, so they need separate recycling.
California's mattress recycling law adds a fee to every new mattress and box spring sold in the state. That fee funds the Bye Bye Mattress program, which lets residents drop off used mattresses at participating collection sites for free.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. You can leave items out with access notes. For items inside the home, someone should be there or you can give access instructions when booking. Your Loader will contact you before arriving.
