The Problem

Smithfield has junk options, just not easy ones

You search online, call the town, then the county, and request a few hauler quotes. One calls back, another never does. Two weekends later, the junk is still sitting in the garage waiting on you.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Town bulk pickup can handle some large household items, but it usually runs on a request and municipal pickup schedule, has limits on what goes out, and expects you to drag everything to the curb yourself. That's a hard ask for a heavy upstairs load.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many old-school haulers want to see the pile in person before they'll give you a number, then charge by how much of the truck it fills. You don't know the real total until they're standing in your driveway, and by then it's hard to say no.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Local charities do good work, and they have to be careful about what they take. Stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken furniture often get turned down. You still have to haul everything there yourself, and you shouldn't count on getting a receipt.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container makes sense for a full renovation, not a single spare room. You have to book a drop-off and pickup window, it may need permission to sit on the street, it ties up your driveway for days, and you still do all the lifting.

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.

Background-checked Loaders who show up ready to work

From a narrow staircase in an older single-family home to a crammed detached garage, your Loader handles the lifting. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Smithfield after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it by the driveway or have it carried out

If your old recliner or bagged yard debris is already on the driveway or beside the carport, curbside pickup lets your Loader load it and go. For a dresser in an upstairs bedroom of an older Smithfield home or a sofa stuck in a back room, full-service means your Loader carries it out from where it sits.

  • Same-day or scheduled

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Smithfield and every street near the Neuse River

Anyone who has watched I-95 beach traffic crawl past Smithfield knows a quick dump run rarely stays quick. Skip the bungee cords and the sweaty tailgate. Your Loader lifts, carries, and loads the old dresser or garage pile from wherever it sits, and showing up for neighbors in this town is the good part of the job.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items rarely end up in one place, and that matters in Smithfield, where cleanouts range from garage clutter to full estate piles. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so reusable pieces are kept out of the landfill when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation where available. Availability depends on local charities at the time, and you should not assume a donation receipt will be provided.

  • 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 or damaged but still hold usable material, like metal frames or appliances, may be directed to recycling when possible. Outcomes depend on what local recycling options accept that day.

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

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or broken bulky pieces, such as a ruined mattress or sagging sofa, go to proper disposal. Your Loader hauls them from your Smithfield property to an appropriate local disposal site.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Smithfield disposal rules most residents don't know

Get these wrong and your cart can sit unemptied or extra debris can turn into a billed special pickup. These rules apply in Smithfield and Johnston County.

Rule 01

Remodel debris like drywall and shingles skips the convenience centers

Johnston County convenience centers accept no construction and demolition waste, including insulation, carpet and padding, cabinets, commodes, bathtubs, doors, and fencing. These materials must be weighed at the county landfill, where a per-ton disposal fee applies.

Rule 02

Refrigerators and stoves need every door removed before collection

Smithfield picks up white goods such as water heaters, stoves, and refrigerators on the regular collection schedule, but the Town will not take any appliance until all of its doors have been removed, as state law requires.

Rule 03

Paint, batteries, and motor oil can stall your cart pickup

Smithfield prohibits tires, batteries, paint, motor oil, and other legally restricted items in collection containers, and a cart holding them is not emptied until they are removed. Johnston County holds a one-day household hazardous waste collection event each spring.

Rule 04

Pack barn and attic cleanouts have a weekly cap at county sites

Johnston County convenience centers refuse cleanouts of old buildings, pack barns, storage buildings, or attics beyond one half-ton pickup load per week, and trailers over eight feet are not allowed. Larger loads must be weighed and paid for by the ton at the county landfill.

Rule 05

Old televisions are banned from the county landfill

Discarded televisions appear on the county landfill's list of prohibited wastes. Johnston County convenience sites take used electronics without a trash decal, and Smithfield residents may use them, though the program is limited to household and non-profit consumers.

Rule 06

Tree contractor debris stays off the town's curbside route

Smithfield collects homeowner yard waste like leaves, grass clippings, pine straw, and shrub clippings from a single curbside point on your regular pickup day, but the Town will not collect debris left by a tree service contractor. Yard waste never goes in the blue rollout.

Only what the town's weekly collection covers. Smithfield Public Works Sanitation handles household waste, yard waste, furniture and appliances, with each of four zones collected once a week. Call Public Works at 919-934-2596 to confirm what your zone accepts.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Smithfield starts at $75, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

Same-day or next-day pickup is often available in Smithfield, depending on the schedule. Enter your address during booking to see open times. For curbside items you don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access instructions.

Yes. Johnston County convenience centers accept only three bulk items per week, such as couches, chairs or mattresses. They are for county residents only. Clean-outs over a half-ton pickup load a week and large trailer loads must go to the county landfill instead.

Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to a licensed disposal site. Outcomes vary by item condition and what local facilities will take.

You book online, pick the items and a time window, and see your total before confirming. On pickup day your Loader arrives, carries the items out and hauls them away. You don't need to move anything to the curb, though that earns the $5 curbside discount.

For small loads, yes. The Smithfield Recycling Center at 231 Hospital Road is open Wednesdays 7 am to 4 pm and Saturdays 8 am to noon. A paid pickup makes more sense for heavy items, big clean-outs, or if you can't haul it yourself.

The main differences are the pricing model and the booking flow. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King usually price by truckload and may confirm the cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before the Loader arrives.
