Junk has a way of piling up until it starts running the house. Book a pickup here in the City of Progress, see a real price before you confirm, and skip the heavy lifting.
First you read the collection rules, then you call to ask about a special pickup, then you leave messages with two haulers and hear back from neither. A month later, the junk still has not moved.
One bulk item on your regular collection day is fine when you have exactly one item. Since the switch to cart only service, loose overflow gets left behind, and a basement of furniture becomes a month of set-outs you still carry to the curb yourself.
Most haulers will not price anything over the phone. They send someone out, eyeball the pile, then quote by how much of the truck it fills, which you cannot verify from your driveway. Two companies, two visits, two different answers.
Donation works when the item is clean, current, and undamaged. Stained upholstery, a cracked particleboard dresser, anything with a tear gets turned away at the dock, and you end up loading it back into the car to drive it home again.
A roll off needs somewhere to sit, and on a narrow postwar driveway that usually means the street, a permit conversation, and a neighbor with opinions. You rent it by the week, fill it in an afternoon, then stare at it until pickup day.

A box spring coming up from a finished basement, or a freezer squeezed past a detached garage door, takes practice. Your Loaders are background checked and rated by real locals in Madison Heights after each job.
If the treadmill is already sitting at the end of a short driveway or out by the street, curbside is the simpler path. Choose full service when the items are still inside a postwar ranch, a packed garage, or down a narrow stairwell, and your Loaders will carry everything out.

Everybody here knows what 696 does to a Saturday, and nobody wants to strap a treadmill to the roof to find out. Doing it yourself means a borrowed truck, a narrow driveway, and a detached garage that was never built for this. Your Loaders handle the carry, and they like showing up for neighbors here.
Bulky items leave a Madison Heights house in very different shape, so where each one goes matters. Your Loaders sort as they load, setting usable pieces aside and moving worn-out ones toward disposal when local options allow.
A dresser or dining set that is clean and structurally sound gets set aside first. Usable pieces are passed along through local resale and reuse channels when options in the area allow.
Torn, cracked, or water-damaged items still hold metal, wood, and plastic. Those head toward recycling-oriented outlets where available, and Michigan handles some categories, including electronics and appliances with refrigerant, through separate channels.
When a mattress is soaked through or a treadmill is rusted solid, reuse is off the table. Your Loaders load it out for disposal at a licensed transfer station or landfill serving Madison Heights.
Set out the wrong load in Madison Heights and it sits at the curb uncollected, so Oakland County and Michigan rules decide how it leaves.
Since October 2025, Madison Heights household trash must be inside a 95 or 96 gallon cart with the lid closed. Loose bags and overflow beside the cart are not collected, so cleanout volume has to move another way.
The city's hauler takes a single bulk item on your regular collection day at no charge. Anything beyond that counts as a special pickup, which is why multi-room cleanouts stretch across weeks of curb sets.
Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners contain refrigerant that federal and state rules prohibit venting. Madison Heights accepts these appliances at the curb only when Freon has been professionally removed and certified, otherwise the unit stays put.
Curbside rules cover small amounts of debris from your own projects, with carpet rolled and tied under four feet, fencing under three by eight feet, and bundles under four feet. Contractor-generated remodeling waste falls outside the program.
The city's rubbish ordinance lets the contractor inspect and reject curbside items. Containers over 50 pounds, carts over 225 pounds, and bulky loads above roughly 200 pounds will not be lifted, which matters for safes, tile, and dense lumber.
State solid waste law keeps more than a minimal amount of yard clippings out of landfills, which is why Madison Heights runs separate compost collection from mid March into early December and excludes stumps, logs, sod, and root balls.

(678) 884-4738The city collects one bulk item per week at no charge on your regular collection day through Priority Waste, as long as it is too large to fit a cart. Everything else must go inside the 95-96 gallon cart since Madison Heights moved to cart-only collection in October 2025. Loose bags or overflow left outside the cart will not be picked up.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Madison Heights starts at $80, with $5 off for curbside or driveway pickups.

Household hazardous waste like paint, chemicals, and fluorescent bulbs is not accepted at the curb. Residents handle those through ERG Environmental Services at (734) 437-9650, open weekdays. Priority Waste also asks that bulk junk not be packed with nails or anything unsafe for the crews handling it.
Loaders sort items and aim to donate anything still usable to local charities while keeping recyclable materials out of Oakland County landfills whenever possible. Metals, electronics, and other recoverable goods are routed to recyclers when options allow, and only what cannot be reused heads to proper disposal.
For curbside or driveway pickups, no. Just leave the junk out with access notes at booking. For in-home pickups, someone should be present or provide access instructions ahead of time. Your Loader usually calls about 30 minutes before arrival so you know when to expect them.
LoadUp prices each item online and locks your total before anyone arrives, while haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King charge by truckload and typically confirm cost after an in-person estimate. For single or two-item jobs in Madison Heights, booking upfront often comes in lower.
