Junk accumulates quietly, then one day it is in the way everywhere you look. LoadUp keeps it simple around Alpine Twp.: pick a pickup time, see a real price before you book, done.
You check the township site, learn trash is whatever private hauler your household pays, then start calling around. One quote comes back vague, two companies never call back at all, and a month later nothing has moved.
Kent County does not collect residential trash, so bulk service here is whatever your household's subscription hauler allows. Expect a call ahead, an item cap per pickup, and a flat no on sealed refrigerant appliances or anything two people cannot lift to the curb.
A local hauler wants to send someone out to look first, which means a window you wait through. Then the number depends on how much of the truck you fill, and you only learn the real figure once everything is already loaded.
Resale shops around Grand Rapids turn away stained upholstery, older mattresses, and anything with a tear or a missing leg, and acceptance rules shift without notice. Even the pieces they want, you still have to load up and drive there yourself.
A roll-off sits in your driveway for days, needs delivery and pickup windows you have to be around for, and in a newer subdivision it becomes the thing neighbors ask about. For one room, you are renting far more container than you will fill.

Your Loaders handle the awkward part: a chest freezer up basement stairs, a treadmill through a narrow pole barn door. Every Loader is background checked and rated by real locals in Alpine after each job.
If the deck boards and bagged debris are already stacked at the end of a long driveway, curbside keeps it simple and nobody needs to come inside. Go full service when the sectional is still in a walk-out basement or a detached pole building and your Loaders need to carry it out for you.

Winter here runs long, so the chest freezer that quit in February just sits in the pole barn until the ground thaws, quietly collecting a treadmill and half a sectional. Then apple season hits and nobody has a free Saturday. Your Loaders do the carrying and the muddy walk out, and they like showing up for people here.
Where an item ends up matters as much as getting it out of your Alpine house. Your Loaders sort each load by condition, keeping usable furniture and recyclable metal out of the landfill when local options allow.
A sectional or dresser that is clean and structurally sound may reach a local resale or reuse organization when one nearby is accepting it. If you need a donation receipt, handle that drop-off yourself.
A treadmill with a dead motor or a chest freezer past repair still holds metal worth recovering, so your Loaders separate those pieces for recycling where Kent County facilities currently accept them.
Water-damaged mattresses, moldy basement carpet, and crumbling deck boards go to a transfer station or landfill serving the Alpine area, which beats letting them sit behind the pole barn another winter.
Set a banned item out wrong and it gets tagged, left behind, or treated as illegal dumping; here is what Alpine Township and Kent County expect.
Kent County's North and South waste and recycling centers accept bulky items such as hot tubs, boats and motor homes for disposal for a fee. Once material reaches a county facility, policy bars staff from pulling anything back out for safety and liability reasons.
EGLE prohibits most appliances from landfills and waste-to-energy facilities because of hazardous components. Kent County recycles units with and without Freon at its North and South waste and recycling centers for a fee, and every appliance must arrive fully emptied.
Anything with a cord or battery is barred from curbside carts because batteries spark fires in hauling trucks and at the recycling center. Most electronics recycle free at the county's three residential drop-offs; CRT and box-style screens carry a fee.
Part 115 of Michigan's environmental law keeps grass, leaves and trimmings under four feet out of landfills, so they must be composted on site or taken to a composting facility. Only diseased, infested or invasive material may be landfilled.
Michigan law bars open burning of household and construction waste containing plastic, rubber, foam or treated wood, and Alpine Township regulates outdoor burning under its own ordinance. Remodeling debris belongs at a licensed disposal facility.
Kent County's SafeChem sites take oil-based and aerosol paint, automotive fluids and rechargeable, lithium-ion and button batteries free. Latex paint can go in the trash once dried solid. Propane cylinders can explode at the recycling center and are kept out of recycling bins.

(678) 884-4738Alpine Township does not run its own curbside collection, and Kent County does not pick up trash or junk from homes. Residents contract with licensed private haulers, most of which limit bulk items. Leaving junk out with no scheduled pickup can be treated as illegal dumping.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Alpine starts at $80, and leaving items at the curb or driveway takes $5 off. The first item covers the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on, so your total is confirmed before booking. Traditional haulers run $150 to $600 by truckload.
Yes, same-day pickup is open in most Alpine zip codes when you book before noon, and next-day covers the wider Grand Rapids metro, including Comstock Park. Enter your address during booking to see live availability near you.
Items like paint, motor oil, gasoline, pool chemicals, and propane tanks are not standard junk removal pickups. Kent County residents can drop these at a SafeChem household hazardous waste site for free. Note that latex paint, propane tanks, needles, and medications are not accepted there.
Loaders sort items when possible and aim to donate usable furniture to local charities like Goodwill of Greater Grand Rapids, with recyclables routed to Kent County facilities. Whatever cannot be reused, they try to recycle and keep out of area landfills when options allow.
For curbside or driveway pickups, no, just leave items in an accessible spot with notes at booking. For in-home removal of heavy pieces, someone should be present or provide access instructions. Your Loader usually calls about 30 minutes before arrival.
Pricing and booking. 1-800-GOT-JUNK and College Hunks price by truck volume and usually require an on-site estimate, so your cost is set once a crew arrives. LoadUp prices per item online and locks it in before anyone shows up, which is often cheaper for single or two-item jobs.
Yes. The North Kent Recycling and Waste Center at 2908 Ten Mile Road in Rockford takes trash, appliances, electronics, and scrap metal, some for a fee, Monday through Saturday. Appliances must be emptied first. A nearby transfer station runs about $30 per pickup truck load.
