When junk piles up, it weighs on you more than it should. LoadUp makes clearing it out around Lyme Town simple, with a quick pickup and a real price before you book.
You look up the town's rules, call around for quotes, and wait on haulers who never call back. Meanwhile the garage stays full, another weekend slips by, and the pile sits exactly where you left it.
Small towns rarely run big-city bulk pickup programs, and Old Lyme leans more on drop-off than door-to-door service. That can mean checking permit requirements, matching set hours, and hauling heavy pieces yourself. Without a truck or a strong back, free stops feeling free.
Many haulers want to see the job in person before they quote it. Then they price by fractions of a truckload that are hard to judge. The number can shift on pickup day, and just booking can mean days of waiting for a callback.
Donation centers want clean pieces they can sell. A stained mattress, a sun-faded porch set, or a dresser with a broken drawer often gets turned away. Most won't carry anything up from a basement, so you load and drive items they might refuse.
A roll-off makes sense for a gut renovation, not one cleared-out spare room. You have to schedule drop-off and pickup, you may need approval to place it, and it takes over your driveway for days. On a narrow lane, the neighbors will notice.

Steep cellar stairs in an older home leave little room to turn a dresser. Your Loaders handle that carry, and they are background-checked and rated by real locals in Old Lyme after each job.
If the old porch furniture or cleanout boxes are already stacked by your driveway or the road, curbside is the simpler fit. For a packed shed near Rogers Lake or a cottage being closed up for winter, full-service lets your Loaders carry everything out from where it sits.

Anyone who has crawled through shoreline traffic on I-95 in July knows a mattress on the roof is a bad plan. Your Loaders lift it, carry it out, and load it, so your weekend stays yours. LoadUp and your Loaders genuinely enjoy showing up for Old Lyme neighbors, year-round and seasonal alike.
A cottage cleanout or an old sofa in an Old Lyme basement raises the same question: where does it all end up? Your Loader sorts items by condition, aiming to keep usable pieces out of landfills.
Furniture, bikes, and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when possible and when local options allow. Your Loader sets those items aside during loading, though donation is never guaranteed.
Items that are worn or damaged but still hold useful material, like metal frames or scrap wood, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them from the rest as the truck is loaded.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, such as waterlogged furniture or a ruined mattress, are taken for responsible disposal. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading from your Old Lyme property.
Mixing recyclables into a weighed load or arriving without a valid sticker can cost you money or entry, so here's how disposal works in Old Lyme, New London County.
Covered and non-covered electronic devices, including computers, computer monitors, televisions, printers, and microwaves, cannot go in Old Lyme's blue curbside trash bin. Sticker holders can drop them at the transfer station recycling area with no fee.
Coastal storms leave plenty of branches behind, but the Old Lyme Transfer Station only accepts brush with no wood or limbs thicker than 4 inches. Its guide also excludes pieces longer than 6 feet. Brush can't go in either curbside bin.
You need a free windshield sticker to enter the transfer station recycling area. Stickers are only for Old Lyme taxpayers who own property or register a vehicle in town. The plate number on the sticker must match the vehicle, so a sticker can't move between cars.
Clothing such as sweaters, jeans, coats, and pajamas can go in the textile bin at the Old Lyme Transfer Station. The bin does not accept mattresses, mattress pads, foam products, couch cushions, lawn furniture, carpet remnants, or large rugs.
The Old Lyme Transfer Station weighs loads of bulky waste and demolition debris, with a minimum charge for loads under 100 pounds. Keep recyclables out of those loads, because sticker holders can drop single stream recyclables in the recycling area with no fee.
Old Lyme's solid waste ordinance makes it unlawful to put hazardous wastes in any trash or recycling container or bring them to the transfer station. RiverCOG runs regional household hazardous waste collection days instead, including one at Lyme-Old Lyme Middle School.

(678) 884-4738Yes, if you're an Old Lyme taxpayer with a free windshield sticker from the Selectman's Office. The station is on Four Mile River Road, open Tuesday to Friday 7:30 AM to 3:45 PM and Saturday 8:30 AM to 4 PM. Call 860-434-2337 with questions.
Bulky waste and demolition debris are charged by weight at 8 cents per pound, or $160 per ton, with an $8 minimum for loads under 100 pounds. Carpet is $5 per item at 8x10 or smaller and $10 above that. Recyclables can't be mixed into the load.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Old Lyme starts at $80 for a single item, and curbside or outdoor pickup takes $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.
Not for curbside pickups. Leave your items outside in an easy-to-reach spot and you don't need to be there. For in-home pickups of heavy or hard-to-move items, someone should be home to give Loaders access. Same-day and next-day slots are offered when available.
Bulky waste, demolition debris, carpet, propane tanks and brush don't go in your regular trash bin. The town transfer station handles them for a fee, such as $3 for a grill-size propane tank. Leaves can't go in trash or recycling bins and should be composted on your property.
Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on what local charities and recyclers accept. Items that can't be donated or recycled are taken to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item and condition, so nothing is guaranteed.
The main differences are the pricing model and the booking flow. Truck-based haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King typically price by how much space your load fills, often confirmed on site. LoadUp prices per item online, so you see your total before booking.
Often yes, for a small load if you're a taxpayer with a sticker and own a vehicle. At 8 cents per pound with an $8 minimum, a light load costs little. A paid pickup makes sense for heavy items, stairs, or if you can't make the Tuesday to Saturday hours.
