The Problem

Getting junk out of a Lithonia home takes longer than it should

You check the county website, call a couple of haulers, wait on callbacks that never come, and price out a truck rental. Two weekends later, the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Free bulk collection sounds ideal, but it depends on which side of a city or county line you live on. Requests often have to be scheduled ahead, item limits apply, and you may still need to drag everything to the curb yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before they'll give a number, then quote by fractions of a truckload. Until everything is loaded, you often can't be sure what you'll actually pay or how they're measuring it.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities need things they can resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken appliances usually get turned away. You're still stuck hauling it there yourself, and anything they reject comes back home with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container makes sense for a full gut renovation, not a spare bedroom. You're looking at delivery windows, possible permits, a big steel box on your driveway for days, and every heavy item still needs lifting over the side by you.

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.

Loaders who show up ready for the heavy lifting

A sleeper sofa in a split-level basement means narrow stair turns, and your Loaders carry it up each one with care. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Lithonia after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Left at the driveway or carried out from inside

If your items already sit outside on the driveway, in the carport, or by the street, curbside (outdoor) pickup keeps things simple. For a recliner upstairs in a two-story home or boxes stacked in a finished basement, choose full-service so your Loaders can carry everything out from where it sits.

Serving Lithonia, all along the I-20 corridor in eastern DeKalb

Anyone who has dragged a sofa out in a Georgia July knows the humidity wins before the sofa does, and a thunderstorm loves a soggy driveway pile. Your Loader handles the lifting, carrying, and loading while you stay in the shade. Lithonia neighbors look out for each other, and your Loaders like showing up for that.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Most junk removal jobs in Lithonia involve bulky items that are hard to move alone, and where they end up depends on their condition. Your Loader sorts each load, so usable items can be reused when possible and the rest is handled responsibly.

Local Disposal Rules

The Lithonia disposal rules most residents don't know

A pile set out wrong can sit at the curb uncollected or get reclassified as a paid special collection. Here is how disposal works in Lithonia and DeKalb County.

Rule 01

Storm limbs and leaves go in paper, never plastic bags

Summer thunderstorms leave plenty of downed limbs in Lithonia, and DeKalb collects yard trimmings weekly on your garbage day. Use paper bags, approved containers, or tied bundles. Plastic-bagged trimmings and limbs cut by a contractor are typically left behind.

Rule 02

Mixed piles and eviction cleanouts lose free bulky status

A couch set beside loose garbage bags becomes a commingled pile, which DeKalb classifies as special collection rather than a no-fee bulky pickup. Landlord eviction contents and excess garbage bags fall into the same category, so keep bulky items separate.

Rule 03

Fridges and washers need doors off before bulky pickup

DeKalb County lists household appliances as no-fee bulky items, but only if they are emptied and every door has been removed. Taking doors off prevents a child from becoming trapped inside while the appliance waits at the curb.

Rule 04

Self-hauled loads go to Seminole Road, not transfer stations

Lithonia does not run its own trash service; DeKalb County handles it. For residents hauling their own junk, the county designates Seminole Road Landfill as its public disposal facility, while county transfer stations are listed as commercial disposal sites.

Rule 05

Old fencing and decking count as a paid special collection

DeKalb does not treat wood or metal fences, decking, or other construction and demolition materials as free bulky items. They fall under special collection, where the county reviews the material and provides payment instructions. Concrete is excluded even from special collection.

Rule 06

Watch for county SWEEP weekends to clear out old electronics

DeKalb's Solid Waste Environmental Enhancement Program, called SWEEP, has offered free curbside pickup of furniture, appliances, and electronics on designated October weekends, scheduled by regular garbage day. The campaign has also included free document shredding for residents.

Only items eligible for DeKalb County's scheduled bulky item collection, which serves Lithonia and runs on a set schedule by trash day. Anything left out of schedule or outside the eligible list can be treated as illegal dumping, so check DeKalb Solid Waste Management first.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Lithonia 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.

Same-day slots are sometimes available depending on the schedule that day, and next-day is more common. Enter your Lithonia zip code during booking to see live availability for your address.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Leave the items out and add access notes at booking. For items inside your home or garage, someone should be there, or you can leave clear access instructions. Your Loader contacts you before arriving.

DeKalb's free bulky collection covers only eligible items on scheduled days, so large loads, construction debris, and hazardous materials like paint or chemicals often fall outside it. For those, you'd use a county disposal site or a hauler that accepts them.

Loaders sort items on site and aim to donate usable pieces and recycle what they can, depending on what local charities and recyclers accept. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility, and landfill is the last option.

You pick your items and a time slot online, see the full price upfront, and confirm. On pickup day your Loader calls ahead, removes the items, and hauls them away. The price you were quoted is what you pay.

The pricing model differs. Traditional haulers usually price by truckload and may confirm the cost on arrival, while LoadUp prices per item online with the total confirmed before booking. For a full-house cleanout, a truckload hauler can be the better fit.
