When junk piles up, getting rid of it becomes one more thing on the to-do list. In Union, LoadUp makes it simple: book a quick pickup and see your price first.
You search online, call the county, and request a few hauler quotes. One calls back, another never does. Meanwhile, weekends slip by and the pile in the garage stays right where it was.
Boone County's free options can help, but they're usually tied to a schedule, a sign-up step, and a list of things they won't take. You still have to get everything to the curb or a drop-off yourself, and that's hard to do with a sleeper sofa.
Many haulers want to see the job in person before they'll quote it, and then they price by how much of the truck you fill. That's hard to judge from your driveway. You often won't know the real cost until the truck is loaded.
Thrift stores and charities check the condition of what you bring. If a mattress is stained, a dresser is missing a drawer, or a TV is outdated, they'll often say no. Then you're driving it back home, and you're right back where you started.
A roll-off dumpster makes sense for a gut renovation. It doesn't make sense for one basement of old furniture. You have to arrange delivery and pickup, it can sit in your driveway for days, and your HOA or neighbors may object to it.

No waiting on callbacksLocal Loaders arrive at your location, haul away the junk, and dispose of it responsibly when options allow.
No in-person charges
Most companies charge by truck space, and the price often changes on arrival. LoadUp charges by item, based on exactly what you're removing.

Getting a treadmill out of a finished basement means your Loader carries it up narrow stairs and around tight landings. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Union after each job.
If the old refrigerator or patio set is already out on your driveway, curbside service keeps the visit quick. For pieces still in an upstairs bedroom, a crowded garage, or a basement corner, choose full-service so your Loaders carry everything out for you.

Between the I-75 commute and weekend ball games, nobody in Union has a free Saturday to wrestle a busted treadmill into a borrowed trailer. Your Loaders lift it, carry it out of the garage, and load it up. Showing up for neighbors who want weekends back is what they like best.
Bulky items rarely fit in a household trash cart, so knowing where they end up matters in Union. Your Loader sorts each pickup by condition, so usable pieces may be donated and the rest handled responsibly.
Furniture and household goods that are clean and in good shape may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader lifts them out of your garage or basement and sets them aside for that path.
Items that are worn or damaged but still have usable materials, like metal frames or old electronics, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them from the general load when possible.
Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items, such as soaked mattresses or broken furniture, go to proper disposal. Your Loader carries them out of your Union home and hauls them to an appropriate disposal site.
A wrong setout in Union can be left behind or billed as extra service. These are the rules that apply to cleanouts in Union and Boone County.
The Boone County Recycling Center accepts appliances with or without freon, including refrigerators, AC units, dishwashers, dryers, furnaces, ranges, and treadmills, only on Fridays. Before drop-off, remove all fluids except freon, plus any food or other materials inside.
Union requires any mattress or upholstered furniture to be completely sealed in disposable plastic before it can be removed at the curb. Large items must also be requested through Rumpke at least 48 hours before your regular collection, and additional fees may apply.
Tires are prohibited at the regional household hazardous waste event. Boone County instead hosts multi-day tire recycling collections at its Recycling Center for over-the-road or solid tires, and businesses, scrap yards, recycling centers, and tire retailers are excluded.
Union's city contract with Rumpke covers six 32-gallon cans or bags per Thursday pickup, and each should stay under 50 pounds. A garage or basement cleanout can easily exceed that, and any service beyond normal trash collection is at the homeowner's expense.
The Northern Kentucky household hazardous waste collection event accepts paint with a 10 can limit, along with aerosol cans, antifreeze, pesticides, and tanks or cylinders. Medications, fertilizers, and mercury-containing devices are prohibited there, so they need a different disposal route.
Union's curbside service does not accept television sets over 32 inches. Larger sets can go to the Northern Kentucky household hazardous waste collection event, which takes electronics and TVs, with televisions limited to two.

(678) 884-4738Not unless your hauler collects it. Kentucky's Northern Kentucky guide says trash service is mandatory, and larger items go to a landfill or transfer station for a fee. Call the Boone County Solid Waste Coordinator at 859-334-3600 for curbside rules and cleanup events.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Union starts at $85, 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, and the exact total is confirmed before booking. Truckload haulers usually quote on site.
Same-day slots are often available in the Union area, but it depends on the schedule that day. Enter your address during booking to see live openings. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home, and for in-home jobs you can leave access instructions.
Haulers generally can't take hazardous materials like paint, gasoline, antifreeze, or batteries. The Northern Kentucky Household Hazardous Waste event is typically held the first Saturday of November at the Florence Y'alls stadium. Boone County residents can call 859-334-3600 for other options.
Loaders try to keep as much as possible out of the landfill. Usable furniture and household goods are donated when local charities will accept them, and recyclable materials go to recyclers when options allow. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to a proper disposal facility.
Pick your items and address online, choose a pickup window, and review the total price before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader will contact you before arriving, then lift, load, and haul the items away. You'll know the cost upfront rather than after a walkthrough.
Mainly the pricing model. College HUNKS, which lists Union on its site, offers a free no-obligation estimate, and truck-based haulers typically price by volume. LoadUp prices per item online, with the first item at the base fee and flat add-ons after, locked in before booking.
Often yes for one or two items, if you have a truck and can lift them yourself. Best Way's Burlington transfer station at 1505 Resource Drive charges disposal fees, so call first to confirm current rates. Paying for pickup makes more sense when items are heavy or time is short.
