Junk has a way of piling up until it's one more chore nobody wants. In Chatham, LoadUp makes it simple: see your upfront price before you book, then get it hauled away.
You check the town website, leave a voicemail, and ask around for a hauler. One never calls back, another can't come out for weeks. Meanwhile the junk stays right where it was, taking up the garage.
Municipal pickup schedules can be a real help, but in a rural area they tend to come with limits on timing, item types, and how much you can set out. If your schedule or your pile doesn't fit theirs, you're left waiting.
Many haulers want to walk the property before giving a number, then price by how much of the truck you fill. That makes it hard to know what you'll actually pay until the truck is loaded and the decision is already made.
Thrift shops and charities need things they can resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken pieces usually get turned away. Even when they'll take something, you still have to load it up and drive it over yourself.
A roll-off sounds simple until you're arranging delivery windows, working out where it can sit, and checking whether it needs a permit. Then it takes up the driveway for days while you do all the lifting and carrying yourself.

A narrow stairway in an older farmhouse or a crowded barn loft takes patience, and your Loaders handle every lift. Each is background-checked and rated by real locals in Chatham after each job.
If the old sofa is already waiting at the end of a long gravel driveway, curbside is the simple choice. For a weekend house with a cellar full of stored boxes or furniture still upstairs, full-service means your Loaders carry everything out from where it sits.

Out here, a barn full of old furniture or a basement of estate leftovers means borrowing a truck, making two trips, and hoping the weather holds. Nobody needs that on a weekend. Your Loaders do the lifting, carrying, and loading, and they like showing up for the neighbors who keep this corner of Columbia County running.
Bulky furniture and cleanout debris pile up fast in older Chatham homes, barns, and garages. Where each item ends up depends on its condition, and your Loader sorts it with donation and recycling in mind when local options allow.
Furniture and household goods that are clean and still usable may be set aside by your Loader for donation, where available. Local donation options vary, so nothing is promised for any particular item.
Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for donation, like scrap metal or broken wooden pieces, may be recycled when possible. Your Loader separates what local recycling options can take.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, like a water-ruined sofa or rotted lumber from an outbuilding, are disposed of responsibly. Your Loader loads them out of Chatham, and facility choices depend on current local options.
An untarped load breaks New York State law, and taking the wrong item to the wrong station means a second trip. These rules apply to Chatham and Columbia County residents.
Columbia County calls items like strands of lights, hoses, cords, blinds, ropes, and plastic bags tanglers because they wrap around sorting machinery and put workers at risk. Keep them out of the recycling bin when you clear out holiday decorations or a garage.
Columbia County sends all construction and demolition debris to the Greenport Transfer Station, the only county facility that accepts it. So drywall, lumber, and shingles from a kitchen or roof project can't be dropped off at the Chatham Convenience Station.
Refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, and air conditioners are accepted only at the county's Greenport Transfer Station, not the Chatham Convenience Station. Section 608 of the federal Clean Air Act requires the Freon to be removed before the appliance is thrown away.
Columbia County stations take no more than six tires per visit, and no county station takes tires larger than 24 inches. Tires still on their rims cost extra per tire, so taking the rims off first avoids that charge.
New York State makes it illegal to carry waste without tarping it, and Columbia County asks residents to tarp loads going to the Greenport Transfer Station securely. Open pickup beds lose light debris like cardboard and insulation quickly at highway speeds.
The county charges by the bag, so bagged garbage at its stations must go in official Columbia County garbage bags unless the load is weighed on the Greenport scale. Stations sell the bags for check or money order only.

(678) 884-4738Not unless it fits the village's trash rules. Bulky junk generally isn't part of regular pickup. The Village of Chatham has offered a heavy trash drop-off day at the DPW Garage, 13 Brookside Ave., using a one-per-household voucher from the Clerk's Office.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Chatham starts at $90 for a single item, 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.
Yes, if you have a truck and the time. The Columbia County Chatham Convenience Station is at 452 Route 295 and is open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 7:30 am to 3:45 pm. County permits and fees apply, so check them first. It's often the cheaper option for small loads.
Not for curbside or driveway pickups, as long as the items are out and you leave access notes. For indoor pickups, someone should be there or you can leave entry instructions at booking. Same-day or next-day availability depends on your address and the schedule.
The village's heavy trash drop-off excludes hazardous waste, tires, asbestos, firearms, ammunition, fireworks and animal carcasses. It also excludes appliances with Freon, TVs, computers and office equipment. Items like these often need a specialty disposal route or a hauler.
Loaders try to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on what local charities and facilities accept. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to proper disposal. Outcomes vary by item condition, so none of it is guaranteed.
You choose your items and a time window online, and you see the total before you confirm. On pickup day, Loaders arrive in the window, load the items and haul them away. Rural spots like Malden Bridge or East Chatham are handled the same way.
The main difference is pricing and booking. Truck-based haulers often price by how much space your load fills and may confirm the price on site. LoadUp prices per item online, so you know the total before anyone arrives. For a big cleanout, a truckload quote may fit better.
