The Problem

Getting junk out of a Sturgis house is harder than it sounds

You call around, ask what the city will pick up, and leave messages with a hauler or two who never call back. Weeks go by, and the junk is still in the spare room.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Municipal pickup schedules usually come with rules about what goes to the curb, how much you can set out, and when. Appliances, mattresses, and remodel debris often fall outside them. You still have to drag everything to the street yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come out for an in-person estimate before they'll give you a number. Then the price is based on a fraction of a truckload, which is hard to picture ahead of time. You often don't know the real total until the truck is loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers turn away items with stains, tears, broken parts, or missing pieces, and many won't take mattresses or older electronics at all. Even if they accept something, you usually have to load it and drive it there yourself.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A rented dumpster can sit in your driveway for days, block parking, and sometimes need a permit. Then you still have to lift every recliner, box spring, and bag of brush over the side yourself. For a single room, that's more container than you need.

Pickup Options

Set it at the curb or leave it where it sits

Many Sturgis homes sit on their own lots with a driveway or detached garage, so curbside is an easy fit if an old riding mower or a box of e-waste is already outside. If a recliner is in a back bedroom or a washer is behind the laundry room door, pick full-service and your Loaders will carry it out from where it sits.

Around here, moving a busted recliner usually means borrowing a neighbor's truck, finding a free Saturday, and driving a long way to wherever it can be dropped. You've earned a shortcut. Your Loaders carry it out, load it up, and haul it off, and they genuinely like showing up for folks in Sturgis.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Most junk starts as a bulky item that is hard to move alone, and where it ends up depends on its condition. In Sturgis, your Loader sorts each load, favoring donation or recycling when local options allow.

Local Disposal Rules

The Sturgis disposal rules most residents don't know

A load turned away at the county recycling center means a second trip, so here is what applies to cleanouts in Sturgis and across Union County.

Rule 01

Kentucky fire seasons limit daytime brush burning near woods

From February 15 through April 30 and October 1 through December 15, Kentucky law bans outdoor burning within 150 feet of woodland or brushland between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Spring storm limbs often land inside that window, so plan evening burns or chipping instead.

Rule 02

Metal appliances qualify for recycling, but plastic ones do not

Union County's recycling program accepts all metal appliances, which gives old washers, dryers, and stoves a recycling path. Plastic appliances are not accepted. Under federal rules, the refrigerant in units like refrigerators and freezers must be recovered before they are scrapped.

Rule 03

Cardboard drop-off runs weekdays plus the first Saturday monthly

The Union County recycling center accepts cardboard and mixed board along with newspaper, magazines, and office paper. Outside its weekday hours, it opens only on the first Saturday morning of each month, so boxes from a weekend move-out may have to wait.

Rule 04

Union County stopped taking tractor and semi tires in 2024

Since March 1, 2024, the Union County recycling center no longer accepts large tires, tractor tires, or semi tires. Passenger car, pick-up truck, bicycle, lawn mower, and other small tires are still accepted, so sort farm and truck tires out before loading.

Rule 05

Only number 1 and number 2 plastics make the cut

Union County's recycling program lists only #1 and #2 plastic. Check the resin code molded into storage totes, buckets, and outdoor furniture before loading them. Anything stamped with another number, or with no number, isn't covered by the program.

Rule 06

Old farm fencing and wire are refused at county recycling

The Union County recycling center accepts all metal appliances and aluminum cans, but its list specifically excludes fencing and wire. On rural lots around Sturgis, old fence runs and spooled wire need a different outlet, such as a private scrap metal yard.
