Junk has a way of piling up until it takes over your weekend. Book LoadUp, see your price upfront, and get it hauled away in one quick pickup.
You look up the village's trash rules, call a couple of haulers, and wait on quotes that never come back. Meanwhile the garage stays half full and another month goes by.
Chatham's residential trash service may take some bulky items, but there are usually limits on size, quantity and item type, and you have to arrange it ahead of time. You still have to drag everything to the curb yourself and wait for the scheduled day.
Many haulers want to come out and see the pile before they'll give you a number, then price it by how much of the truck it fills. You only learn the real cost once everything's loaded, and by then it's hard to say no.
Donation centers look closely at condition, so a stained mattress, a worn recliner or a broken bike frame often gets turned away. Even items they accept usually have to be dropped off, so you still need a truck and someone strong enough to help.
A roll-off fits a full gut renovation, not a basement corner or a few pieces of old furniture. It takes up your driveway for days, may need permission from your HOA or the village, and you still do all the lifting and loading yourself.

Many Chatham homes in newer subdivisions have roomy driveways, so if the old recliner or leftover renovation scraps are already out there, curbside lets your Loaders grab them and go. For a dresser in an upstairs bedroom or a treadmill in a finished basement, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry it out from inside.

Chatham keeps growing, and so do the piles: outgrown play sets, spare-room sofas, leftover tile from the last project. Borrowing a truck for a dump run after the Springfield commute is nobody's Saturday plan. Your Loaders carry it out and load it up, and honestly, they enjoy showing up for neighbors here.
Chatham homes collect plenty of bulky items, from outgrown play sets to worn sofas, and where they end up depends on their condition. Your Loader sorts each load toward donation, recycling or disposal when local options allow.
Furniture, bikes and kids' gear in good, clean shape may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Contact the receiving organization directly if you have questions about their intake process.
Items that are worn but not donatable, such as scrap metal frames or old appliances, may be recycled where available. Some pieces depend on local options, so recycling is never guaranteed.
Heavily damaged or soiled pieces, like a water-ruined sectional or a broken mattress, are taken for responsible disposal in the Chatham area. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading from wherever the item sits.
Burning the wrong material is declared a nuisance and missed collection weeks leave debris at the curb, so here is what applies to homes in Chatham, Sangamon County.
Chatham's monthly branch collection only takes limbs shorter than 6 feet and smaller than 8 inches in diameter. After a spring thunderstorm or ice storm, cut debris to fit and have it curbside by 6:00 a.m. on the month's first collection Monday.
Chatham's Junk Day excludes electronics and appliances. Statewide, Illinois law has prohibited landfilling covered electronics such as televisions, computer monitors, and printers since 2012, so these items need a dedicated recycling collection rather than a trash container.
Chatham's burning ordinance prohibits burning construction waste, lumber, paper, plastic, and household garbage at all times anywhere within village limits. Burning that violates the ordinance is declared a nuisance, so remodeling debris needs another disposal route.
Chatham's yard waste collection makes two spring and two fall trips, with 2026 fall pickups the weeks of November 2 and December 7. Unlimited containers are allowed, but only paper or biodegradable bags up to 30 gallons or reusable containers marked "Yard Waste."
Chatham's 2026 Junk Day runs October 17 from 7:00 a.m. to noon at Chatham Community Park. Liquids, hazardous waste, and medical waste are prohibited, so leftover paints, solvents, and cleaners need a separate disposal plan.
Chatham's Junk Day prohibits automotive items and tires, and the village burning ordinance specifically lists tires and waste oil as materials that may never be burned. Garage cleanouts with old tires or drained oil need a dedicated recycling outlet.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Chatham starts at $80, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. The exact total is confirmed before booking.
Sometimes. Availability depends on Loader schedules around Springfield and Chatham, so same-day or next-day slots vary. Enter your address during booking to see live openings. For curbside pickups, you usually don't need to be home.
Hazardous items like paint, chemicals, batteries, and some large appliances or electronics often can't go in regular household trash in Illinois. Ask your hauler or the Sangamon County area collection programs what they accept. Loaders can handle many bulky items, but not hazardous materials.
Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill. Depending on acceptance, items may go to local donation partners, recyclers, or proper disposal facilities. Condition and local acceptance decide what's possible, so outcomes aren't guaranteed for every item.
You pick your items online, choose a time window, and see your total before confirming. On pickup day, your Loader gives a heads-up before arriving, then removes the items from where you've indicated, whether that's inside, the garage, or the curb.
The main differences are pricing model and booking. Traditional haulers often price by truck space and may confirm the final price on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before booking. For a full-house cleanout, a truckload hauler can be a better fit.
