When junk keeps piling up, it stops being a small chore and starts weighing on you. Book a pickup at a price shown upfront, and let LoadUp take it from there.
You look things up online, call the town office, and leave messages with a couple of haulers. One calls back, one never does. A few weekends go by, and the pile is still sitting in the garage.
Plenty of rural towns don't run a regular bulk pickup program, so check with the town before you count on one. Where a program does exist, it usually comes with limited dates, a list of items it won't take, and the rule that you drag everything to the road yourself.
Many haulers want to come look before they'll give you a number, which on a country road can mean waiting days just for an estimate. Then the price depends on how full the truck gets, so you won't know the real cost until the job is done.
Thrift stores and charities have to be careful about what they accept, and they're right to be. Stained mattresses, scratched dressers, and broken appliances usually get turned away, and you still have to load and drive everything there yourself, which might mean a long trip down the lake road.
A roll-off container makes sense for a full teardown. For a cleared-out spare room or a few worn-out appliances, though, it's a lot. You have to plan around delivery and pickup, find a level spot on the driveway, and then do all the heavy lifting yourself.

If the old mattress or broken mower is already waiting at the end of a long gravel driveway, curbside pickup keeps things simple. Choose full-service when items are still inside a basement, loft, or detached garage and you want your Loaders to carry them out.

Let's be honest, a dump run out here means hitching the trailer, wrestling a water heater onto it, and creeping down snowy hill roads. Your Loaders would rather take that on. They arrive at your property, do the lifting, and haul it off, because showing up for neighbors here is the part they like best.
Hauling a load out of a rural property rarely ends at the driveway, and where each item goes matters. In Catharine, your Loader sorts by condition, so usable pieces and recyclable materials are kept out of the landfill when possible.
Items in good, clean condition may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader sets aside usable furniture, appliances, and household goods for this path, though availability can vary in rural Schuyler County.
Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for donation may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates metal, cardboard, and other materials when nearby facilities accept them, rather than sending everything to one place.
Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items, like waterlogged mattresses or broken-down fixtures, are taken to an appropriate disposal site. Your Loader handles the loading, and the destination depends on what nearby facilities accept.
In Catharine, trash set out without a contracted pickup simply stays put, since Schuyler County has no public dump. These state and county rules decide where the rest goes.
Clearing out a woodshed? New York bans moving untreated firewood more than 50 miles from where it was cut. The rule slows invasive pests like the emerald ash borer. Burning the wood locally or keeping it on site follows the rule.
Schuyler County does not run a dump or transfer station. Catharine households have to hire a private company for curbside pickup or take materials to a drop-off site. The closest option is a Saturday morning recycling drop-off in neighboring Montour Falls.
Each year Schuyler County holds a household hazardous waste event together with Yates County. Saving garage and basement chemicals for that day keeps them out of regular trash service and out of the creeks that run through Catharine.
Small towns like Catharine can burn untreated brush and limbs most of the year. New York bans it from March 16 through May 14, when dry ground after snowmelt raises wildfire risk. Burning garbage, furniture, or painted lumber is never allowed.
State law bars residents from throwing rechargeable batteries, such as packs from old cordless tools, in household garbage. Any New York store that sells rechargeable batteries must take used ones back for recycling at no charge.
Since 2015, state law has barred residents from throwing out covered electronics with regular garbage. These include televisions, computers, printers, and video game consoles. Manufacturers have to fund free recycling, so these items belong at an electronics collection site.

Sometimes. Availability in a rural area like Catharine, Odessa, or Alpine depends on how many Loaders are nearby that day. Enter your address when booking to see the open dates and time windows. Booking earlier in the day improves your chances.
Not for curbside or driveway pickups. You can leave items out with access notes, such as a gate or barn location. For items inside a house or garage, someone should be present, or you can give access instructions when booking.
Hazardous materials are the main restriction. Schuyler and Yates counties hold a Household Hazardous Waste Day, with the next one on August 15, 2026. Pre-registration is required, tires are $3 each, and most other items are free. Households only, no businesses.
Loaders try to keep usable items out of the landfill. They aim to donate items that are in good shape, recycle materials like metal and cardboard when local facilities accept them, and dispose of the rest properly. Outcomes depend on item condition and acceptance.
