Junk piles up quietly, then one day it is in the way of everything. Book a pickup here in the Heart of the Thumb, see a real price upfront, and it is gone.
You start by searching. Then you call the city, then the county, then two haulers who never call back. A week turns into a month, the pile has not moved, and you are right where you started.
What the city handles is narrow: tied brush bundles under four feet, set out for the Monday DPW run from April through November. Stumps, trunks, furniture, and appliances are not on that list, and the run stops before winter anyway.
Most outfits want to drive out, walk the garage, and eyeball the load before quoting anything. Out here that means waiting on a callback that may never come, then hearing a number based on how full their truck looks once it is already loaded.
Resale shops take what sells. A mattress with a stain, a dresser that is mostly particleboard, a dryer that no longer runs: all politely declined. Even when the answer is yes, you are still lifting it and driving it out of town.
A container means scheduling a drop, living with it in the driveway for days, and doing every bit of the lifting yourself. Add weight limits, ruts in soft gravel, and permission if it sits near the road. That is a lot for one room.

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.

A chest freezer at the bottom of narrow basement stairs, or a workbench wedged at the back of a pole barn: your Loaders are background checked and rated by real locals in Marlette after each job.
If the load is already stacked at the end of the driveway or sitting outside the garage door, curbside keeps it simple. Choose full service when the items are still in a basement, a back bedroom, or an outbuilding, and your Loaders carry them out from where they sit.

Nearly everybody here owns a truck, so hauling it yourself was never the issue. The issue is a chest freezer, a flight of basement stairs, and a round trip to the nearest drop-off that burns an afternoon. Then the fields start drifting and that window shuts till spring. Your Loaders are glad to show up for you.
Not everything you clear out of a garage belongs in the same pile. In Marlette, your Loader sorts what still has life in it from what does not, then looks for a local option first.
Furniture, tools, and household goods still in clean, working shape get set aside for a donation option when one nearby is open and accepting that category that week.
A broken dryer or a bent swing set frame is mostly metal. Your Loader looks for a recycling option where available, though choices in Sanilac County sit farther apart than in a metro area.
Water-damaged mattresses, rotted deck boards, and barn clutter past saving go to a licensed disposal site. Your Loader handles the drive from Marlette so nothing sits in your yard waiting.
Set the wrong pile at the curb in Marlette and you risk a skipped collection or a littering citation under Michigan law, so Sanilac County specifics matter.
Marlette's contracted hauler collects trash, recycling, and compost every Friday morning, but expects material in 30 gallon cans or bags under 50 pounds. Anything heavier or bulkier falls outside normal weekly service and needs a special pickup request.
Michigan banned yard clippings from landfills in 1995 because they generate methane and leachate. Leaves, grass, and garden debris must be composted or taken to a composting facility instead, which is why Marlette runs a separate seasonal compost route.
Marlette accepts brush and limbs under two inches in diameter and four feet in length, bundled and tied under 50 pounds. That matches the state definition of yard clippings, material that can actually break down into compost humus.
Tree stumps and trunks are excluded from Marlette's compost pickup and from Michigan's legal definition of yard clippings. Roots and stumps do not convert to compost humus, so they route through land clearing debris channels rather than curbside collection.
Marlette will not accept compost or yard waste in plastic bags. Use biodegradable paper bags or 30 gallon containers marked with a large X facing the street, since plastic contaminates the finished compost and cannot be screened out easily.
Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners cannot be landfilled with refrigerant still inside. Federal Clean Air Act rules enforced by EPA require a certified technician to recover it first, and Michigan landfills routinely reject appliances that skip this step.

(678) 884-4738Only if you have a subscription hauler. Marlette and the surrounding townships use contracted curbside haulers, not a free city pickup, so bulky junk left out without an arrangement can be treated as illegal dumping. Any county resident can also drop off at the Waste Management Tri-City RDF facility.
Single-item junk removal with LoadUp in Marlette starts at $80, and leaving items outside for curbside pickup takes $5 off. The first item covers the base pickup fee for labor and hauling, and each additional item is a flat add-on, so your full price is confirmed before you book.
Availability is tighter in rural Sanilac County than in a big metro, but same-day or next-day slots often open in the 48453 area when you book early. Enter your zip during booking to see live dates for your address.
No. Local haulers like Jeff's Rubbish will not take items with Freon coils such as refrigerators and freezers, or liquids like paint, oil, tires, and batteries. LoadUp Loaders can haul appliances, and the Sanilac County free hazardous waste and tire collection events handle paint, chemicals, and tires.
Loaders try to keep usable items out of the landfill whenever options allow. Working goods may go to a local charity, and recyclables like metal, cardboard, and electronics can route to the Sanilac County Recycling Center in Sandusky or the Conservation District, which accepts electronics but no televisions.
Not for curbside pickups. Leave the junk somewhere accessible outside and the Loaders can grab it without you present. If items are inside and too heavy to move yourself, someone should be home, and your Loader usually calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
Pricing and booking flow. Local haulers like Republic Services and Jeff's Rubbish often bill by the truckload or need a call to schedule, and your price may not be set until the truck arrives. LoadUp prices per item online and locks the total before anyone shows up.
