Junk has a way of piling up until it's one more thing on the list. In Scottdale, LoadUp keeps it simple: book a quick pickup, see your price upfront, and get your space back.
You start by searching, then calling the county, then requesting quotes from haulers. Some never call back, others give vague answers, and a few want a visit first. Days slip by, and the pile in your garage hasn't moved.
County bulk collection can cost you nothing, but it comes with limits. It has to be requested ahead of time, only certain items qualify, and you still carry everything to the street yourself. Appliances, renovation debris, and oversized loads often get left behind.
Many traditional haulers want to see the job in person before they name a number. Pricing often hinges on how much truck space you fill, so the figure can shift on pickup day. That leaves you guessing, comparing vague quotes, and waiting on callbacks.
Donation centers have to be choosy, and that's fair. Stained, broken, or worn items usually get turned away, and many places won't take mattresses or large pieces at all. Schedules and rules change often, so you may make the trip for nothing.
A rented dumpster makes sense for a full gut renovation, but it's a lot for a cleanout. You may need a permit, a place to park it, and a delivery and pickup window. Then you load it yourself while neighbors watch it sit there.

Steep basement stairs and narrow hallways in older homes turn a dresser into a puzzle, and your Loader works it out. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Scottdale after each job.
Curbside makes sense when the old couch or broken washer is already sitting in the driveway or under the carport. Pick full-service when items are still in a back bedroom, attic, or backyard shed, and your Loaders will carry them out themselves.

Hauling a busted dryer down Lawrenceville Highway in Saturday traffic, then hunting for a place that will take it, is nobody's idea of a weekend. Your Loader does the lifting and loading from your garage, basement, or yard instead. LoadUp and your Loaders genuinely like showing up for Scottdale neighbors, and that never gets old.
Big, bulky items in Scottdale rarely have one obvious place to go. Your Loader checks each piece's condition at pickup, so usable things can be donated, damaged things recycled, and the rest disposed of responsibly.
Furniture and household goods that are clean and in good shape may be donated when possible and local options allow. Your Loader carries them out so you don't have to lift anything.
Items that are worn or damaged but not ready for donation, such as metal-heavy pieces or some appliances and electronics, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them as they load.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, like ruined mattresses or broken-down furniture, are disposed of responsibly. Your Loader handles the heavy lifting from your Scottdale home, garage, or yard.
Set the wrong pile at the curb and it can sit there uncollected or trigger a special collection fee. Scottdale is unincorporated, so these DeKalb County rules apply.
Construction materials, including dirt, concrete, bricks and rocks, are prohibited in DeKalb garbage carts. Renovation leftovers such as construction material and fencing go through the county's special collection service, which has its own eligibility and preparation requirements.
DeKalb's curbside recycling takes up to 10 flattened cardboard boxes at a time, placed loose rather than bagged. A move-out that leaves dozens of boxes means spreading them across several weeks or finding another recycling outlet.
After Georgia thunderstorms, DeKalb County collects branches cut to four feet or shorter, with tree pieces under 50 pounds each. Large tree parts require a special collection fee, and the county asks that debris cut by a hired contractor not be left at the curb.
Textiles and clothing are not accepted in DeKalb curbside recycling. Instead, the county runs a clothing and shoe drop-off at the Central Transfer Station in partnership with Green Zone Recycling, aimed at reducing landfill waste and supporting second-hand markets.
DeKalb's recycling program excludes computers and phones, plus TVs and monitors, from curbside carts. For electronics, the county lists a drop-off at Seminole Road Landfill and a Best Buy partnership accepting TVs, computers and phones.
DeKalb bars liquids and hazardous materials, including batteries, from garbage roll carts. The county points residents to CHaRM, the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials, which accepts paint and chemicals, household hazardous waste, motor oil and batteries.

(678) 884-4738Not unless it is part of a scheduled collection. Scottdale is unincorporated DeKalb County, so county sanitation rules apply. Piles left out without an arranged pickup can be treated as illegal dumping and may bring a fine. Confirm bulk limits with DeKalb Sanitation.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Scottdale starts at $75 for the first item, which includes the pickup fee. Each additional item is a flat add-on charge, and the exact total is confirmed before booking. Curbside or driveway pickup takes $5 off the base price.
Often, depending on Loader availability near Decatur and east Atlanta. Enter your address during booking to see which time slots are open for same-day or next-day service. Availability changes with demand, so earlier booking gives you more options.
Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Leave the items out and add access notes when you book. For items inside a home, garage, or basement, someone should be there or you can leave clear access instructions. Your Loader contacts you before arriving.
Hazardous materials such as paint, solvents, pesticides, and car batteries generally don't belong in regular trash or bulk pickups. Large or heavy loads like construction debris may also exceed county limits. Check DeKalb County Sanitation for current rules before setting items out.
Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill. Items in good shape may be donated to local Atlanta-area charities, depending on acceptance, and recyclable materials go to recycling facilities whenever possible. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to the appropriate disposal facility.
You book online, choose the items and a pickup window, and see your price before confirming. On pickup day your Loader arrives in the window, confirms the items, and carries them out. The total you were quoted at booking is the price you pay.
The main difference is the pricing model. Many traditional haulers price by truckload and may confirm the final cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before booking. For a few items it can cost less, but a full truckload cleanout may suit a traditional hauler.
