Junk piles up fast, and sorting it out shouldn't eat your weekend. Book LoadUp for a quick pickup around the Gresham Park area, with the price shown before you confirm.
You look up county sanitation rules, request a few hauler quotes, and wait on callbacks that never come. Weekends slip by, and the junk sits in the garage or along the side of the house.
DeKalb County sanitation does offer bulk item collection, but you have to request it, wait for a slot, and get everything to the curb yourself. Some items aren't accepted at all, and the schedule rarely matches a move-out or cleanout date.
Many haulers want to come out and see the pile before they'll name a price. Then the quote is based on a fraction of a truckload, so you don't really know what you'll owe until the bed is already full.
Thrift stores and charities have every right to turn away stained upholstery, worn mattresses, or furniture with broken parts. That still leaves you hauling it there, hearing no, and loading the rejects back into your car.
Renting a dumpster means booking delivery and pickup windows, possibly checking HOA rules, and giving up part of your driveway for days. On top of that, you still do all the lifting, even if you're only clearing out one room.

Anyone who has tried to cross southeast DeKalb toward Atlanta on a Saturday knows a dump run can swallow the whole day: the crawl, the line, the sofa sliding around in the truck bed. Your Loaders like showing up to carry it out and load it, because folks here have better things to do with a weekend.
Bulky items pile up fast in a residential area like Gresham Park, and where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so usable pieces get a second life when possible and the rest is handled responsibly.
Furniture, appliances, and household goods in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when possible. Your Loader carries them out separately, though donation is not guaranteed and no receipt is provided.
Items too worn to donate, like scrap metal, broken frames, or cardboard, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates what local options allow, so recycling depends on what is accepted nearby.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, such as ruined mattresses or waterlogged furniture, are loaded by your Loader and taken for proper disposal rather than left to become a neighborhood problem.
Putting the wrong item at the curb can get it left behind or lead to an illegal dumping citation. These are the rules for Gresham Park and unincorporated DeKalb County.
Every year from May 1 through September 30, Georgia EPD bans outdoor burning in DeKalb and other metro Atlanta counties to limit ozone. Burning household trash, furniture or building debris is illegal all year, so cleanout leftovers can't go on a backyard fire.
Georgia law keeps lead-acid batteries out of landfills because of the lead and sulfuric acid inside. Stores that sell new vehicle batteries in Georgia must accept used ones. That gives residents a legal way to get rid of batteries found during a garage cleanout.
Gresham Park has no city government, so DeKalb County provides trash service. Bulky items like furniture and appliances need a separate collection request. The county has sometimes offered free curbside bulky item collection for a limited time, once per household.
Under the federal Clean Air Act, it's illegal to knowingly release refrigerant from refrigerators, freezers and window air conditioners into the air. The refrigerant has to be recovered before these appliances are scrapped or landfilled, so an old fridge can't be treated like ordinary bulky trash.
Georgia doesn't allow yard trimmings in lined municipal solid waste landfills. Leaves, limbs and grass clippings have to stay separate from household garbage. This matters most after summer thunderstorms bring down branches across DeKalb's heavily wooded neighborhoods.
Old tires don't go out with household trash. Georgia EPD regulates how scrap tires are hauled and processed because dumped tires hold rainwater and breed mosquitoes in Georgia's warm, humid summers. When you buy new tires, the retailer is required to take back your old ones.

(678) 884-4738Not unless it's a scheduled pickup. Gresham Park is unincorporated DeKalb County, so large household items go through the county's Solid Waste Management bulky item service, which is fee-based. Leaving items out without a collection scheduled can count as illegal dumping.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Gresham Park 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 the exact total is confirmed before booking. Truckload haulers usually price by volume.
Same-day slots are sometimes open, depending on your address and how full the schedule is. Enter your zip code at booking to see live availability. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home, and for indoor jobs someone should be there or you can leave access notes.
Special categories such as tires, hazardous materials, concrete and liquids are handled differently from standard bulky items like furniture and appliances. DeKalb tightened enforcement on illegal tire dumping recently. Check with the county before putting restricted material out.
Yes, DeKalb residents can self-haul to the county facility at 810 Camp Road in Decatur, open weekdays 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, and pay a disposal fee. Call 404-294-2009 to confirm current rates. Self-hauling can be cheaper if you have a truck and the time.
Loaders try to keep usable items out of the landfill whenever possible. Furniture and household goods in good shape may go to local donation partners, and recyclable materials go to recycling facilities, depending on acceptance. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to a proper disposal facility.
You pick your items and zip code online, see the price upfront, and choose a time window. Loaders typically call or text before arriving, then carry the items out of your home, garage or curb. You confirm the total before booking, so there's no estimate on the driveway.
The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King generally price by truck volume, often confirmed on-site. LoadUp prices per item online, confirmed before booking. For a few items that is often simpler, while a full-house cleanout may suit a truckload hauler.
