Junk has a way of piling up until dealing with it becomes its own project. Book a LoadUp pickup in the old Sheep Dip, see the price upfront, and get your weekend back.
It starts with a couple of phone calls. One office points you to another, one hauler wants to see the junk before quoting, two never call back, and the pile sits through another season.
Free only counts if the junk gets there. Whatever the town or the county district accepts, you load it, you haul it, and you stack it yourself. Refrigerant appliances, tires, and construction debris often carry separate handling or a fee at staffed sites.
The estimate comes after someone drives out to look at it, and that trip gets scheduled around everyone else's day. Then the price is quoted in fractions of a truckload, so what you owe depends on how tightly the load stacks behind you.
Anything torn, stained, or left a winter in an unheated shop gets turned down at the door, and reasonably so. Hours are limited, space is tight, and a yes still means you load it and drive it there. The rest is still yours.
A rolloff means picking a delivery day, finding ground flat enough to set it, and leaving room for the truck to swing in. It sits in the driveway for days where everyone sees it, and one room's worth of junk barely covers the floor.

A chest freezer wedged at the back of a shop building or hauled up basement stairs takes two people who know the lift. Your Loaders are background checked and rated by real locals in Columbus after each job.
Choose curbside if the items are already sitting outside, at the end of a gravel drive or beside an outbuilding, and you just need them gone. Choose full service when your Loaders need to bring a treadmill up from a basement, out of a detached garage, or through the narrow doorways common in older homes along the Yellowstone River corridor.

Around here, getting rid of something big usually means a trailer, a tie-down job, and a drive toward Billings you did not plan on. Wind and February do not help either. Your Loaders take the lift and the mileage off your hands, and they like pulling into a county seat where people still wave.
Most of what leaves a Columbus property still has some life in it, and plenty does not. Your Loaders sort each pickup by condition, so usable items keep moving and only the rest gets thrown out.
Furniture, tools, and household goods that are clean and still working can be passed along to a local secondhand option when one is available. Your Loaders set those items aside before loading.
A chest freezer with a cracked lid or a rusted swing set still holds metal worth recovering. Your Loaders separate scrap and electronics for recycling where local options allow.
Waterlogged carpet, collapsed outbuilding debris, and anything past saving goes to a permitted transfer station or landfill serving the Columbus area. Your Loaders handle the lifting and the drive.
Getting disposal wrong in Columbus can mean a rejected load or a dumping violation, so know what Stillwater County and Montana actually require here.
The Columbus solid waste site takes appliances only when refrigerators are certified Freon free with the compressor removed. Federal rules require a certified technician to recover refrigerant, so sealed units are turned away at the gate.
Columbus runs its site for garden and yard waste, brush, furniture and appliances. Bagged household trash, tires, barrels and dead animals are excluded, and that waste belongs in the county solid waste system instead.
Stillwater County's household assessment covers non hazardous household garbage, but staffed collection sites add fees for oversized loads such as tires and construction debris. Budget for that surcharge before hauling a remodel out.
The county transfer station serving Columbus takes electronics, batteries, scrap metal, aluminum and waste oil for recycling. Routing those items there keeps them out of the trash stream that ends up at the Billings landfill.
Liquid paint, gasoline, oil, solvents, caustics, pesticides and poisons cannot go in with regular waste in Columbus. Stillwater County directs residents to household hazardous waste guidance for these materials rather than the collection sites.
Stillwater County requires a burn permit activated the day you burn, and only natural vegetation qualifies. Treated wood, shingles, plastics and rubber are prohibited statewide, and burning without a permit is a misdemeanor.

(678) 884-4738The Town of Columbus provides weekly curbside garbage in a 96-gallon cart, and crews only take what fits inside with the lid closed. Larger junk is on you, either hauled to the Stillwater County Transfer Station near town or handled by a private service. Montana law also requires you to secure any load you haul yourself.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Columbus starts at $85, and curbside or driveway pickups take a flat $5 off. The first item covers the base pickup fee, and each additional piece of junk is a flat add-on, with your total confirmed before you book. Hauling it yourself to the county transfer station is cheaper, though staffed sites charge small fees for tires and construction debris.
You book online by choosing a date and time window, and availability shows live for the 59019 area once you enter your address. Columbus is rural, so same-day is not guaranteed the way it is in a big metro, but next-day and scheduled pickups are common. You lock the price and the slot before anyone is dispatched.
The county system accepts non-hazardous household junk, but hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, batteries and Freon appliances are handled differently. Staffed collection sites charge small fees for tires and construction debris, and refrigerators need their refrigerant removed first. A paid hauler can take most of these with no tagging or prep on your end.
Usable items are sorted for donation when possible, with local options like the Community Closet Thrift Store in Columbus and Goodwill in nearby Billings. Metal and electronics route to recyclers, and only what truly cannot be reused is taken to the City of Billings landfill, where the county's waste already goes.
For curbside or driveway pickups you do not need to be home, just leave the junk accessible with a note on placement. For items inside the house or garage, someone should be present or provide entry instructions at booking. Your hauler usually calls ahead before arriving so you are not left waiting.
LoadUp prices each item online and locks the total before pickup, so you are not waiting on an in-person estimate. National chains like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King charge by truckload and often do not directly serve small Montana towns like Columbus. Upfront per-item pricing usually runs less for a single or two-item job.
