When junk piles up, it stops being a small chore and starts weighing on your whole week. Book LoadUp for a quick pickup and a clear price upfront, right here in the Queen City.
You start with a quick search, then a call to 311, a few hauler quote requests, and a callback that never comes. A week or two slips by, and the junk is still sitting there.
City bulk pickup programs work well if your items qualify and fit the municipal pickup schedule. Some things get turned away, and you still have to get everything out to the curb yourself, even from a basement or an upper flat.
Many haulers want to see the job in person before giving you a price, then quote by fractions of a truckload. It can be hard to know what you'll actually pay until the truck is already in front of your house.
Donation centers have to be selective, so worn upholstery, stained mattresses, and broken furniture usually get refused. Usable pieces may find a new home, but you still have to load and drive everything there and deal with whatever they won't take.
A roll-off container makes sense for a full renovation, not a single cleared-out room. You may need a permit to put one on the street, you'll wait on delivery and pickup, and a tight shared driveway can leave the neighbors annoyed.

If you can get an old dresser off the porch and down to the curb or the end of a shared driveway, curbside keeps things simple. For a sleeper sofa stuck in an attic or a basement full of renovation scraps, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry everything out from where it sits.

Anyone who has wrestled a sofa up steep basement stairs, around a porch rail, and down a narrow side path knows Buffalo's old double-lowers were not built for big hauls. Your Loaders do the lifting and loading, and they genuinely like showing up for the people keeping these homes going.
Buffalo homes hold a lot of bulky items, from basement sofas to porch furniture, and where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts each piece by condition, favoring donation or recycling when local options allow.
Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader sets those pieces aside during loading, so usable items have a chance at a second home.
Items that are worn or damaged but still have reusable materials, like metal frames or wood, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them from the rest of the load when possible.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, such as water-ruined couches or broken furniture from a flooded Buffalo basement, are disposed of responsibly. Your Loader takes them out for proper disposal.
Items that break Buffalo's curbside rules will not be accepted and stay at the curb. These are the rules City of Buffalo households in Erie County need to follow.
Tires are not allowed in Buffalo curbside collection. Instead, the city has held scheduled tire drop-off days at its Broadway Garage, limited to four tires per household per drop-off. More than four old snow tires means more than one drop-off day.
Buffalo collects three bulk items beside your tote every week, year-round, but each item must be one whole piece. A dresser with its drawers inside counts as one item. Pull out seven drawers and it counts as eight.
City rules bar TVs and computers from curbside pickup, and New York State law keeps covered electronics out of household trash. Buffalo runs a weekday e-waste drop-off that also opens the first Saturday monthly, and seniors and disabled residents can arrange pickup through 311.
When wind or heavy snow brings down limbs, Buffalo collects sticks and branches at the curb only when they are bundled and no longer than four feet. Leaves and other yard waste go in clear plastic or paper bags, never raked or blown into the street.
Hazardous waste is not allowed at the curb in Buffalo. The city accepts fluorescent bulbs, rechargeable batteries, and mercury as universal waste at its e-waste drop-off site, which also takes refrigerators and stoves.
Construction debris is not allowed at the curb in Buffalo. The city-owned East Side Transfer Station accepts construction and demolition debris, and owner-occupied households can dump up to one ton of trash there each year.

Buffalo's Engineering Garage at 1120 Seneca St accepts electronics, and you can reach it at 716-851-4890 or 311. Household hazardous waste like paint and chemicals goes to Erie County collection events, not the curb. Curbside bulk pickup excludes these items.
Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition and what local partners will take.
You book online, pick your items and time window, and see your total before confirming. Your Loader typically calls or texts ahead of arrival, then removes the items from inside your home or from the curb. The confirmed price is what you pay.
The main difference is the pricing model. 1-800-GOT-JUNK prices by volume and gives a quote on site, though it also offers a Flex option from $39.
