The Problem

Getting junk out of a Cornelia home takes more than it should

You look up local rules, call to ask what's allowed, and request a few hauler quotes. One shows up, one says they'll call back, and one never answers. Weeks go by and the pile hasn't moved.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Municipal pickup schedules usually come with conditions: certain items turned away, a call or request needed ahead of time, and a date that may not match your timeline. You also still have to drag everything to the curb yourself, which is tough with a heavy appliance or a garage full of lumber.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come out and look before they'll name a price, and that means another appointment on your calendar. Quotes built on fractions of a truckload are hard to check ahead of time, so you often don't know the real total until the job is half done.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers have to be careful about what they accept, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and older electronics often get turned away. Even items in good shape need you to load and drive them over, and whatever gets rejected rides back home with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container makes sense for a full gut renovation, but it's a lot for one cluttered room or a broken treadmill and some yard debris. You have to plan around delivery and pickup windows, give up driveway space for days, and do all of the lifting yourself.

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.

Loaders who show up ready for the heavy lifting

  • Local, vetted Loaders

Pickup Options

Left at the curb or hauled out from where it sits

If the old washer is already waiting at the end of your driveway, curbside keeps things simple. For a treadmill down in the basement or scrap lumber tucked inside an outbuilding on a rural lot, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry everything out to the truck.

Serving Cornelia, up and down Highway 441

LoadUp and your Loaders like showing up for Cornelia neighbors, because your weekend deserves better than a truck bed full of regrets.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast in a Cornelia garage or shed, and where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so reusable pieces, recyclable materials, and true trash take different paths.

Local Disposal Rules

The Cornelia disposal rules most residents don't know

Loose garbage set beside the cart in Cornelia is not collected, and the county landfill refuses hazardous materials. These are the rules that apply in Cornelia and Habersham County.

Rule 01

Refrigerators and freezers are degassed before the landfill recycles them

The Habersham County Landfill handles white goods such as washing machines, stoves, freezers, and refrigerators by removing leftover Freon gas before recycling them. The recycling centers do not take white goods, and the landfill charges a fee to drop them off.

Rule 02

Cornelia has no curbside recycling, so boxes go bagged

The city does not offer recycling service. Boxes must be bagged inside the garbage cart or placed in City-issued purple bags, which cost $2 each at City Hall. The county's Cornelia Recycling Center takes cardboard, except wax-covered cardboard.

Rule 03

Liquid paint is turned away at the county landfill

The Habersham County Landfill treats paint in liquid form as hazardous and will not accept it. Paint that has dried solid after being mixed with dirt or sawdust is okay, so half-used cans from a garage cleanout can be hardened first.

Rule 04

Sofas and mattresses need a scheduled City Hall pickup

Cornelia picks up furniture and other large items by request through City Hall on the second and fourth weeks of the month. Each item has a fee, such as $15 per mattress or box spring. Items should not go to the curb more than one day early.

Rule 05

Brush and yard debris have a drop-off point in Cornelia

The county's Cornelia Recycling Center takes yard debris and brush for a per-load fee, separate from the county landfill in Mt. Airy. Residents can keep limbs from North Georgia thunderstorms and seasonal pruning close to home.

Rule 06

Old tube televisions are refused at the county landfill

Habersham County's recycling centers no longer take electronics. Electronics go to the recycling center at the landfill instead, which takes them free of charge. Tube televisions are not accepted there, so older tube sets need another way out of the house.

Habersham County does not run curbside pickup. Trash service in Cornelia comes through the city's public works sanitation department at (706) 778-8585 or a private hauler. Call to confirm what bulky items are covered and whether a fee applies.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Cornelia starts at $75 for a single item, and curbside pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

It can be, if you own a truck and can haul it yourself. The county landfill in Mt. Airy has a $20 minimum charge and a $60 per ton tipping fee under its published schedule. You also pay for gas, time and loading. Call (706) 839-0242 to confirm current rates.

Same-day pickup is often possible when a Loader is available nearby, but it depends on the schedule in your area. Enter your address during booking to see open times. Curbside pickups don't require you to be home, and in-home pickups need access arranged.

Non-household and restricted loads, such as hazardous materials, may be refused or charged extra at the Habersham County Landfill. Hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and until 12:30 p.m. Saturday. Call (706) 839-0242 before loading up to confirm what's accepted.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle materials whenever options allow, which helps avoid landfill. Acceptance depends on the condition of the items and what local charities and recyclers will take. Whatever can't be reused or recycled is disposed of at an appropriate facility.

You choose curbside or in-home pickup online, add your items, and see the price before you confirm. You then pick a time window. On pickup day, a Loader arrives, removes the items, and takes them away. Curbside pickups just need the items outside and accessible.

The main difference is pricing and booking. Traditional haulers often price by truckload and may confirm the final cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before booking. For a large full-truck cleanout, a truckload hauler can be a good fit.
