The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Somerset takes more work than it should

You look up the rules, call the city office, leave messages with a few haulers, and wait. One calls back, two never do. Another weekend goes by, and the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs can work well if your items fit the rules and the schedule. Most limit what qualifies, ask you to request a spot ahead of time, and expect everything hauled to the curb, so heavy loads from upstairs or out back stay your problem.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come look before they'll give you a number, and then they price by how much of the truck you fill. You don't know the final cost until the load is on, and by then it's hard to say no.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need items they can actually resell, so stains, tears, missing parts, or worn finishes often get turned away. Plenty of what's in a cleanout has no second life, and you still have to load it, haul it, and unload it yourself.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster makes sense for a gut renovation, not for clearing one room. You plan around delivery and pickup windows, may need permission to place it, and a big steel box in the driveway for days rarely makes the neighbors happy.

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 to work

A sleeper sofa wedged at the bottom of a narrow basement stairwell is routine work for your Loader. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Somerset after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Left at the curb or carried out from inside

If the old washer or brush pile is already sitting at the end of your driveway, curbside keeps things simple. Choose full-service when items are still in an upstairs bedroom, a crowded detached garage, or a house set far back on a long rural drive, and your Loaders will carry everything out to the truck.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Somerset, from the Cumberland Parkway to the US 27 strip

Anyone who has strapped a recliner into a pickup bed and crept down a Kentucky hill road with one hand on the rope knows a dump run is never quick. Your Loader does the lifting, carrying, and loading instead, and honestly, your Loaders get a kick out of showing up for Somerset neighbors.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Big, bulky items are hard to move alone, so where they end up matters as much as getting them out. In Somerset, your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring reuse when possible and local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods that are clean and in good shape may go to donation when possible and local options allow. Your Loader sets those items aside, though no donation receipt is promised.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor
See donation pickup
Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for donation may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates metal, cardboard, and similar materials when local options allow, though recycling is never guaranteed.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs
See common questions
Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, like a collapsed sofa or water-ruined carpet, are hauled by your Loader to an appropriate disposal site, based on what local options accept.

  • No logistics or transport to handle
  • No sorting or drop-off required on your end
  • Local disposal fees covered

Local Disposal Rules

The Somerset disposal rules most residents don't know

Somerset does not collect household waste left outside a city-issued container, so a cleanout can end up stuck at the curb. These rules apply inside Somerset city limits in Pulaski County.

Rule 01

Anything within three feet of your cart counts as garbage

Under Somerset sanitation rules, anything within a 3-foot radius of the trash container is treated as garbage to be collected. Move anything you want to keep, sell or donate well away from the cart before your collection day.

Rule 02

Refrigerator and freezer doors must come off before curbside

Before a refrigerator or freezer goes to the curb in Somerset, every door must be removed. Taking the doors off is a standard safety step so a child can't climb inside and get trapped while the appliance waits for collection.

Rule 03

Stored scrap metal and old machinery can trigger a nuisance violation

Somerset Ordinance 14-06.01 makes it a nuisance to store scrap metal, junk machinery or motor vehicle parts, including tires, within city limits unless the city has approved the site for that use. Scrap is covered whether or not it can be recycled.

Rule 04

Flatten cardboard and keep other items out of boxes

Flattened cardboard goes in the brown recycling container with the yellow lid. Extra cardboard can sit beside the container, but the city asks that nothing else be packed inside the boxes. Recyclables must go in loose because plastic bags are not accepted.

Rule 05

Bulky items like washers and couches wait for clean-up weeks

Somerset only collects bulk items such as washers, dryers and couches during its scheduled spring and fall clean-up weeks. If you miss the spring cleanup, your next scheduled chance is the fall cleanup, which is usually held in October.

Rule 06

Wrap mattresses and upholstered furniture fully in plastic

Somerset requires mattresses, box springs, furniture and anything else made of or containing upholstery to be completely wrapped in plastic or another waterproof material before it goes to the roadside. An unwrapped couch or recliner doesn't meet the rule.

Only within the city's rules. Somerset picks up bulk items placed by the roadside for a disposal fee, and regular weekly service covers the city container plus up to six 30-gallon bags. Items left out with no arrangement risk being treated as illegal dumping.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Somerset starts at $85, and curbside or driveway pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee and each additional item is a flat add-on charge, with the exact total confirmed before booking.

Same-day pickup is sometimes available in Somerset, depending on Loader schedules and your address. Enter your zip code when booking to see live availability. For curbside pickups you usually don't need to be home, but indoor pickups need someone present or access instructions.

The city has run an Annual Spring Clean Up in the past, allowing each household within city limits one pickup truckload of trash during a set week. Dates and rules change by year, so confirm with the City of Somerset at 606-679-6366 before you plan around it.

Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility. Donation and recycling outcomes vary by item condition and what local partners will take.

Choose your items online, enter your Somerset address, pick an arrival window, and see your total before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader typically calls ahead, then removes the items from your home, driveway, or curb and handles the loading.

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, so your total is locked in before anyone arrives. For a big cleanout, a truckload hauler can still be a fit.
