The Problem

Getting rid of junk around here takes longer than it should

You look up the county rules, call a couple of haulers, and wait. One sends a vague quote, another never calls back. Weeks go by, and the junk is still sitting in your garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Montgomery County bulk pickup programs can handle some large items, but you usually have to schedule ahead, follow limits on what and how much goes out, and drag everything to the curb yourself. Renovation debris and certain appliances may not qualify.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come out and look before they give you a number. Then the price depends on how much of the truck your items fill, so the estimate you hear on the phone can change once the crew arrives.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities have to be selective, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken furniture often get turned away. You still have to load and drive whatever they might accept, and whatever they refuse comes back home with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container makes sense for a full gut job, not a single basement or bedroom. You may need a permit if it goes on the street, it takes up your driveway for days, and you still have to lift everything in.

Set it at the curb or leave it where it sits

If the rusted grill or a broken patio set is already sitting in your driveway, curbside keeps things simple. For a recliner stuck in a finished basement or boxes stacked in the attic of an older house, choose full-service and your Loaders carry everything out from inside.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items rarely fit in a trunk, so where they end up matters as much as getting them out. In North Kensington, your Loader sorts each job by condition, keeping reusable pieces out of the landfill when possible.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Sofas, dressers, and tables in good, clean shape may be donated when possible. Your Loader can set them aside for reuse where local options are available, though no receipt or paperwork is provided.

  • 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 but not donatable, like scrapped metal frames or broken wooden furniture, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates what local options allow, since acceptance varies by material.

  • 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, such as a water-ruined sectional from a basement, are hauled away by your Loader for responsible disposal at an appropriate local facility.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The North Kensington disposal rules most residents don't know

Yard trim in plastic bags is left uncollected and overweight self-haul loads trigger fees, so here is how disposal works in North Kensington, Montgomery County.

Rule 01

Electronics and batteries never belong in curbside bins

Montgomery County warns that electronics and batteries placed in recycling bins or regular trash can create a fire risk. Single-family homes with County recycling service can schedule an on-call electronics and battery collection, and the Shady Grove Transfer Station accepts electronics daily.

Rule 02

Bulk pickups are capped at five per calendar year

Homes with County-provided trash service get five bulk collections per calendar year, requested by 11:59 p.m. the day before pickup. Setting out more than five trash bags on one day also calls for a bulk request, and private or HOA-contracted service is ineligible.

Rule 03

Yard trim is banned from the trash countywide

It is against the law in Montgomery County to throw grass, leaves, brush, and garden trimmings in the trash. Set them out year-round in paper yard trim bags, decal-labeled reusable containers, or bundles; yard trim in plastic bags will not be collected.

Rule 04

Moving boxes join mixed paper, not the bottle bin

Montgomery County runs a dual-stream recycling program, so cardboard goes with mixed paper in the blue wheeled cart rather than the blue bin for bottles and cans. Cardboard can also go out in a paper bag, cardboard box, or twine bundle.

Rule 05

Self-hauled loads under 500 pounds drop off free

Residents can bring trash loads under 500 pounds to the Shady Grove Transfer Station at no charge with proof of residency. Heavier loads are weighed and charged a fee, out-of-county waste is refused, and 500-plus-pound loads are not accepted Sundays.

Rule 06

Mostly metal items go out as scrap, not bulk trash

Large items that are 51 percent or more metal are not accepted in bulk trash pickups. Homes with County recycling service can instead request scrap metal collections, which have no annual limit, and small household appliances are accepted for recycling as scrap metal.

Only through a scheduled county pickup. Montgomery County trash customers get 5 bulk pickups per calendar year, booked online or by calling 311. Requests are due by 11:59 PM the day before, and items must be at the curb by 7:00 AM.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in North Kensington starts at $85, 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. The exact total is confirmed before booking.

Same-day and next-day pickup are often available, depending on Loader schedules in your area. Availability shows when you enter your address at booking. County bulk pickup runs only on your regular collection day, so it can't match that speed.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups, since you can leave items out with access notes. For items inside the house, someone should be there or you can leave entry instructions at booking. Your Loader typically gives notice before arriving.

The county's bulk pickup covers oversized household items, not everything. Hazardous materials such as paint, chemicals, and similar products generally need special handling and don't go out with regular trash. Check the county's Solid Waste Services guidance before setting anything out.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on what local charities and recyclers accept. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to a proper disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item and condition, so none are guaranteed.

Enter your address, choose the items you want removed, and pick an available time window. You see the total before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader arrives, loads the items, and handles the heavy lifting and hauling.

The main difference is the pricing model. Many traditional haulers price by truckload and confirm the cost at an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For a large cleanout, a truckload quote may suit you better.
