The Problem

Getting rid of junk here is harder than it looks

You read up on town pickup rules, leave a voicemail or two, and request hauler quotes that never come back. A few weekends slip by, and the junk is still sitting in the garage waiting on you.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Town and county bulk programs can help, but they often come with item limits, set collection windows, and rules about what has to be hauled to the road first. If you're out of town or the load is heavy, that schedule rarely bends to fit.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before they'll give you a number, then price it by how much of the truck it fills. You end up booking a visit, waiting around, and still not knowing the final cost until the truck shows up.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need items they can actually resell, so stained cushions, worn mattresses, and anything salt-air rusted usually get turned away. You can still drop off the good pieces, but whatever is left still needs somewhere to go, and someone to carry it there.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container means a delivery window, a pickup window, and a big steel box parked in your driveway for days. On a quiet, tree-lined street, it's a lot of hassle and lost yard space for one bedroom or a garage corner, and you still do all the lifting yourself.

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.

Careful hands for every heavy lift

Carrying a sleeper sofa down the outside stairs of a raised beach house takes care and muscle. Your Loader handles that lift, is background-checked, and gets rated by real locals in Southern Shores after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Left in the driveway or carried out from inside

Pick curbside when your items already sit in the driveway, which keeps things simple on a wooded lot where the house is set back from the road. Go full-service when a rental turnover leaves worn mattresses and dressers inside, and your Loaders will carry each piece out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Southern Shores, from the sound to the ocean

Anyone who has crept along US 158 on a summer Saturday knows a loaded truck bed is no way to spend changeover day. Driving a worn-out sofa to a disposal site can swallow the afternoon. Your Loaders do the lifting and loading, and LoadUp is glad to show up for the people who keep this town running.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Where a couch, mattress, or pile of cleanout debris ends up matters as much as getting it out of the house. In Southern Shores, your Loader sorts each item by condition, so reusable pieces stay in circulation when possible.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when possible or where available. Your Loader sets these aside during loading so usable pieces have a chance at a second home.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for donation may be recycled when local options allow. Your Loader separates materials like metal or wood from the load, though recycling availability on the Dare County coast is limited.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, such as waterlogged furniture or broken mattresses, go to responsible disposal. Your Loader hauls them from your Southern Shores property and takes them to an appropriate 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 Southern Shores disposal rules most residents don't know

Put out the wrong item and it won't be collected, or it gets turned away at drop-off. Here is how disposal works in Southern Shores and Dare County.

Rule 01

Brush piles over 12 by 4 feet count as lot clearing

The town's year-round Limb/Branch Pickup only takes homeowner-cut brush, with limbs up to 5 inches in diameter. Larger piles are treated as major lot clearing, and contractors and landscapers can't use the service. Wind, rain, heat and ice can delay sector schedules.

Rule 02

Deck and indoor furniture need a Town Hall permit for drop-off

Property owners must buy a $50 permit in person at Town Hall before taking furniture and other large bulky items to the Kitty Hawk/Dare County Recycling Center. It covers half a pickup load. Anything larger is turned away and must go to the C&D Landfill.

Rule 03

Gasoline, oil and paint never belong in the trash cart

Southern Shores trash cans cannot hold oil, propane, paint, charcoal or hazardous waste. The Kitty Hawk recycling center takes used motor/hydraulic oil, gasoline, anti-freeze and batteries at no charge, and Dare County hosts household hazardous waste collections in the Northern Beaches, Buxton and Manteo.

Rule 04

Mattresses are not allowed at the Kitty Hawk recycling drop-off

The Kitty Hawk/Dare County Recycling Center lists mattresses as not allowed. Southern Shores accepts mattresses at its semi-annual bulk collection, and mattresses and box springs can also go to the Dare County C&D Landfill at no charge.

Rule 05

Remodel leftovers are not accepted on town bulk pickup day

Lumber, building supplies, windows, screens, doors, carpets and rugs are the unacceptable items most commonly set out for Southern Shores bulk collection. Self-generated construction and demolition debris can go to the Dare County C&D Landfill, usually at no charge and with no permit required.

Rule 06

Refrigerators need a Freon-removed tag before bulk collection

For Southern Shores bulk collection, refrigerators, freezers and any appliance that may contain refrigerant must carry a tag stating the Freon has been removed, and refrigerator and freezer doors should come off. Appliances can also go to the Kitty Hawk recycling center without a permit.

Only during the town's two bulk collections each year, one in April and one in October. Residents can't put large items out until one week before the collection date. For anything outside those windows, Bay Disposal offers special bulk pickups, so call them to confirm rates.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Southern Shores starts at $75, with $5 off for curbside or driveway pickup. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on, with the exact total confirmed before booking. Self-hauling is cheaper: the town's bulky item permit costs $50.

Same-day and next-day pickup are often available in Southern Shores, depending on the schedule in your area. You enter your address during booking to see open times. For curbside items you usually don't need to be home. For indoor pickups, someone should be there or leave access instructions.

The town's bulk collection excludes lumber, building materials, doors, windows, carpet, cabinets, and other demolition debris, plus anything produced by a contractor or business. Residents' own debris of this kind can go to the Dare County C&D Landfill, usually at no charge, or to the Kitty Hawk recycling center with a $50 permit.

Regular household garbage and mattresses can go to the Dare County C&D Landfill in Manns Harbor at no charge. The Kitty Hawk/Dare County Recycling Center at 4190 Bob Perry Road takes bulky items such as furniture with a $50 permit, bought in person at Town Hall. The permit covers up to half a pickup load.

Loaders aim to donate or recycle as much as possible, depending on what local charities and recyclers accept. Items in good shape are the best candidates for donation. Whatever can't be donated or recycled is taken to an appropriate disposal facility.

You pick your items and address online, get a price before you confirm, and choose an arrival window. Loaders do the lifting and loading, so you don't have to carry anything. Curbside or driveway pickups get $5 off the base price. The total is set before booking, not at the door.
