The Problem

Cary has junk options, just not easy ones

You check the town website, call about a pickup, and request a few hauler quotes. One calls back, one wants to visit first, one never replies. Meanwhile the garage stays full for another weekend.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Cary's bulk pickup program is worth checking first, but it runs on the town's schedule, not yours. You usually request it ahead of time, some items are restricted, and you still have to drag everything to the street yourself, which some HOAs frown on.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to walk your house before naming a figure, then price by fractions of a truck you can't picture. The number you hear on the phone can shift once they arrive, so you're left guessing until the truck is already loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donating feels right, and local thrift stores do good work, but they screen for condition. Stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and older appliances often get turned away. You might also have to load and drive everything there yourself, with no guarantee any of it gets accepted.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container sitting in a Lochmere or Preston driveway for a week is a lot of steel for a spare bedroom. Delivery windows, possible permits, scuffed pavement, and HOA approval add up fast, and you're still the one carrying everything out to it.

What sets us apart

Your price is locked before pickup day

Most companies charge by truck space, and the price often changes on arrival. LoadUp charges by item, based on exactly what you're removing.

  • Per-item, predictable. First item includes the pickup fee. Every add-on is flat, no truck math, no hourly rates.
  • Locked means locked. The price at booking is what you pay. No adjustments, no surprises.
  • No-obligation quotes. Big job or full cleanout? Text a photo for a guaranteed price first.

Loaders who treat your home with care

Your Loaders take careful turns on narrow stairs when bringing a sleeper sofa down from a bonus room over the garage. Every one is background-checked and rated by real locals in Cary after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Driveway drop-off or carried out from inside

If the old treadmill is already in your open garage or on the driveway, curbside service keeps things simple and means it won't sit out by the street longer than your HOA may like. For a sectional in an upstairs bonus room or a finished basement full of boxes, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry everything out from where it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Cary, on both sides of US-64 and I-40

Cary takes pride in tidy streets, and in many HOA communities an old recliner at the end of the driveway gets noticed quickly. Your Loaders carry it out from the garage or backyard and load it up, so your weekend stays yours. Helping neighbors who care this much about home is the part we like best.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky furniture and appliances rarely leave a Cary home the same way twice. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so usable pieces, recyclable materials, and true waste can each go where local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Sofas, dressers, and other items in clean, good condition may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader lifts and loads them separately so they stay in usable shape.

  • 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 old appliances, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates these from general debris when local recycling options apply.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs
See common questions
Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items, such as soaked mattresses or broken furniture, go to responsible disposal. Your Loader carries them out of your Cary garage or yard and handles the final load.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Cary disposal rules most residents don't know

Setting bulky items or appliances at the curb without an appointment means they miss weekly collection, so here is how Cary and Wake County handle common cleanout materials.

Rule 01

Curbside yard waste piles are capped at 240 cubic feet

Cary's collection policy limits regular curbside yard waste at each home to 240 cubic feet per day, roughly 8 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 6 feet high. Keep yard waste out of garbage carts; the Town asks residents never to mix the two.

Rule 02

Swing sets and bicycles need a bulky trash appointment

Cary defines bulky trash as anything too large to fit inside a Town-provided roll-out cart, including large televisions, bicycles, swing sets, and wheelbarrows. Pickup is by appointment through Cary 311, costing $15 for the first item and $8 for each additional item on the same trip.

Rule 03

Dead animals have a specific landfill destination in Wake County

Cary directs residents to dispose of dead animals at the South Wake Landfill in Apex, provided they are not microbiological or pathological waste. The Town will also collect carcasses placed curbside in a plastic bag when requested through Cary 311.

Rule 04

Cleanout trash bags must fit inside the cart with lid closed

Cary requires household garbage to be sealed in plastic bags and placed inside the Town-provided roll-out cart, with the lid closing completely. If a cleanout produces more than one cart holds, the Town offers additional roll-out carts by request.

Rule 05

Refrigerators and washers are scheduled separately from bulky trash

Cary treats refrigerators, dishwashers, washers, dryers, and similar appliances as their own curbside service, picked up for a fee by request through Cary 311. The Town's staffed convenience center also has provisions for appliance disposal if you prefer dropping one off yourself.

Rule 06

Used cooking oil and motor oil get their own collection

Cary's Solid Waste division collects cooking oil and motor oil as separate streams, so these liquids from a garage or kitchen cleanout have a destination other than the garbage cart. Check the Cary Collects tool for preparation details before setting them out.

Not unless it's part of a Town collection. Cary handles bulky items and yard waste through set programs, so call Cary 311 to confirm what qualifies and how to schedule. Loose piles with no arranged pickup risk being treated as illegal dumping.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Cary starts at $75 for the first item, which includes the pickup fee. Each additional item is a flat add-on, and the exact total is confirmed before booking. Curbside pickup takes $5 off. Truckload haulers usually quote on site.

Often, depending on the schedule in your area. Enter your Cary zip code at booking to see live same-day and next-day openings. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or you can leave access instructions.

Yes. Wake County convenience centers take household garbage and bulky items under 8 feet long or wide. Box trucks, dual-axle trailers and enclosed trailers need a free Trash Pass first. Oversized items go to the South Wake Landfill, where posted tipping fees apply.

Hazardous items like oil-based paint, chemicals, batteries, fire extinguishers, flammables and fluorescent bulbs are not accepted at Wake County convenience centers. They go to a Wake County Household Hazardous Waste facility. Plan for these separately from your regular junk load.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance at local donation and recycling sites. Items that can't be reused or recycled are taken to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition.

Pick your items and Cary address online, choose a time window, and see your total before you confirm. On pickup day, your Loader typically calls ahead before arriving, then carries the items out and loads them. You don't need to move anything to the curb.

The main difference is the pricing model. Many traditional haulers price by truckload space and confirm the total on site. LoadUp prices per item online, so the total is set before booking. For a few items, per-item pricing can cost less. For a full cleanout, a truckload quote may fit better.
