The Problem

Big Flats has junk options, just not easy ones

You call the town, then the county, and get bounced between offices. Two haulers want to stop by for a quote, a third never calls back. Meanwhile the garage stays full and another weekend goes by.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Free municipal pickup sounds ideal until you read the fine print. There may be item limits, set dates, or a call you have to make ahead. Appliances with refrigerants and electronics often need separate handling, and you still have to drag everything to the road yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before they'll give you a number, and then they quote by fractions of a truckload. Your final bill depends on how they eyeball the pile, so you won't really know the cost until they're done loading.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities have to be choosy. Stained upholstery, scuffed dressers, and older electronics often get turned away. Even when they accept your items, you're usually the one loading the vehicle and driving it over, and the rest of the junk still needs a plan.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container makes sense for a gut renovation, not a cluttered spare room. You have to book drop-off and pickup windows, find a spot on your driveway that won't block anyone, check for any permit rules, and still haul every piece out to it 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.

Southern Tier Loaders who show up ready for the hard parts

Working a dead chest freezer up a narrow basement stairwell in an older farmhouse is routine for your Loaders, who are background-checked and rated by real locals in Big Flats after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it by the driveway or leave it where it sits

Plenty of Big Flats homes sit on deep lots with long driveways, so curbside (outdoor) pickup makes sense once a patio set or a pile of renovation lumber is already out by the street or garage door. Choose full-service when a sleeper sofa is wedged in a split-level basement or a back bedroom, and your Loaders will carry it out from inside.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Big Flats and the valley from Elmira to Corning

Southern Tier winters have a way of turning the garage into a holding pen for everything you meant to deal with in October. Come the first dry weekend, nobody wants to borrow a truck and fight a slushy driveway. Your Loaders do the lifting and loading, and they genuinely enjoy showing up for neighbors around here.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Big Flats homes run from older farmhouses to newer builds, and the junk they hold ranges just as widely. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so usable pieces and recyclables stay out of the trash when local options allow.

  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Local Disposal Rules

The Big Flats disposal rules most residents don't know

Putting a TV in the trash violates New York law, and county drop-off sites require special bags. These rules apply to cleanouts in Big Flats and Chemung County.

Rule 01

Leftover snowblower gas and antifreeze need a registered drop-off

Chemung County holds free household hazardous waste events each spring and fall that accept gasoline, antifreeze, paint and fluorescent lights. You must register ahead of time with a list of your items. The events are open to county residents only, not businesses.

Rule 02

Big Flats offers no town trash or bulk pickup service

The Town of Big Flats does not provide sanitation services, so residents arrange curbside collection through private companies. Because there is no town bulk pickup day, furniture and large cleanout piles are not covered by any town schedule. They need their own disposal plan.

Rule 03

Spring brush burning is banned during the snowmelt cleanup season

New York bans residential brush burning from March 16 through May 14 in towns under 20,000 people, which includes Big Flats. Burning household trash is illegal statewide all year. Limbs downed by winter storms need another way out during that window.

Rule 04

Old TVs and computer monitors cannot go out with the trash

Since 2015, New York law has barred households from throwing covered electronics such as televisions, computer monitors and printers in the trash. Chemung County offers electronics collection days. Its hazardous waste events do not accept electronics.

Rule 05

Self-hauled trash needs county bags, and big loads go elsewhere

At the Big Flats Transfer Station and other county drop-off sites, trash must go in specially marked county bags, and the contents must be visible through the bag. Large quantities must go to the Materials Recycling Facility in Elmira or the Chemung County Landfill in Lowman.

Rule 06

County law requires recycling no matter which company you use

Chemung County law requires residents to recycle. Zero-Sort recycling is open to every county resident no matter which private trash company they use. Nothing needs to be sorted, so clean recyclables from a garage or basement cleanout can all go in one bin.

Not unless your hauler or town specifically allows that item. Bulk items set out with no arrangement can be treated as illegal dumping. Rules vary by hauler, so confirm with your trash provider or Chemung County Solid Waste at (607) 737-2980.

Yes, the Big Flats Transfer Station is one of Chemung County's drop-off sites. It is a good low-cost choice if you have a truck and can do the lifting. Hours and accepted items change, so call Solid Waste Management at (607) 737-2980 first.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Big Flats starts at $90, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on. Your exact total is confirmed before booking.

Sometimes. Availability depends on the schedule near you that day, so enter your address at booking to see open times. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access instructions.

Hazardous waste is the main exclusion, such as paint, chemicals, and fuels. Chemung County also keeps liquids and hazardous materials out of its drop-off stations. Ask Chemung County Solid Waste at (607) 737-2980 about household hazardous waste options.

Loaders aim to keep items out of landfills. Usable pieces may be donated, and recyclable materials are sent for recycling when options allow. What can't be donated or recycled is disposed of properly. Outcomes depend on what local organizations will accept.

Choose your items online, enter your Big Flats address, and pick a time window. You see a guaranteed total before you confirm. On pickup day the Loaders arrive, load everything, and sweep up the area. Same-day and next-day slots are shown when available.

The main difference is the pricing model. Many traditional haulers price by truckload and may confirm the cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online, so the total is set before anyone arrives. Truckload pricing can suit very large cleanouts better.
