Junk has a way of piling up until it's one more thing on the list. Book a pickup with LoadUp, see your price up front, and get your space back.
You check the town website, call around for a hauler, and leave a few messages that never get returned. Meanwhile the old couch is still on the porch and another weekend at the camp slips away.
Rural towns tend to lean on transfer stations rather than pickup programs that come to your door. Where those options exist, they can come with set hours, item limits, and permit rules. You still have to load everything yourself and drive it there.
Many independent haulers want to walk the property before they'll give you a number, which is tough to arrange if you're coordinating from out of town. Then the price shows up as a fraction of a truckload, and you won't know the real total until the truck is full.
Donation centers usually turn away furniture with stains, tears, or musty storage smells, which describes a lot of what comes out of a closed-up cottage. They often skip mattresses and worn appliances too, and the nearest drop-off can be a long drive away.
A roll-off container means a rental window, a delivery that has to fit on a narrow or sloped driveway, and possible ruts in the lawn. And you'd still be doing all the lifting yourself for a job that might only fill a corner of it.

Your Loader carries bulky pieces up steep basement stairs and along the sloped gravel driveways often found at lake cottages. Your Loaders are background-checked and rated by real locals in Severance after each job.
Curbside pickup works well if you've already moved the old couch or mattresses to the end of your driveway or near the road. If things are still in a shed or outbuilding, or inside a rental you're turning over from out of town, full-service means your Loaders go in and bring them out for you.

Out here, a worn-out sofa or a pile of storm branches usually means a long drive, a borrowed truck, and a transfer station that may not be open when you are free. Your Loader carries it out of the basement, shed, or camp steps instead, and genuinely likes showing up for year-round neighbors and weekend owners alike.
Out in Severance, the nearest drop-off point can be a long drive away, so where an item ends up matters as much as getting it out. Your Loader sorts each piece by condition, when local options allow.
Furniture, bikes, and gear that are clean and still sturdy may be donated when possible. Your Loader sets those pieces aside, though donation depends on what local organizations are able to accept.
Items that are worn but not donatable, like scrap metal, old appliances, or broken frames, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them when local recycling options allow.
Soaked mattresses, rotted furniture, and heavily damaged bulky pieces are taken for responsible disposal, which may mean a transfer station or landfill. Your Loader handles the lifting, and accepted items can vary.
Mixing free recyclables into weighed trash or bringing banned items can cost money or get a load turned away, so these rules apply in Severance and across Essex County.
The Town of Schroon transfer station takes brush up to 3 inches in diameter and charges for it by the cubic yard. New York also bans residential brush burning from March 16 through May 14 in towns under 20,000 residents.
Under fees that took effect in February 2026, household garbage at the Town of Schroon transfer station is charged by the pound, but metal scrap is accepted free. Keeping metal out of a cleanout load keeps it off the scale.
Essex County holds household hazardous waste collection events that only county residents can use. You need proof of residency, such as a driver's license, tax bill or utility bill, and businesses are excluded. The 2026 event is scheduled for late July in Elizabethtown.
Since 2015, New York has barred residents from throwing covered electronics in the trash. Manufacturer-funded programs let you recycle items such as computers, monitors, printers, keyboards, DVD players and DVRs for free at registered collection sites.
Recyclables, including glass, plastic, paper and cardboard, are accepted free at the Schroon transfer station. Local guidance asks that corrugated cardboard be flattened and that recyclables be kept clean and separate from household trash.
Not every Essex County town transfer station takes construction and demolition debris. The Town of Essex, for example, sends this debris to the Essex County Landfill and Recycle Center in Lewis. Check where remodeling waste is accepted before you haul it.

(678) 884-4738Not as a standard service. Severance is a hamlet in the Town of Schroon, which runs a transfer station on Alder Meadow Road instead of regular bulk curbside pickup that I could confirm. Residents haul their own junk there or hire someone.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Severance 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 charge, with your exact total confirmed before booking.
As of February 2026, household garbage and construction waste run $0.25 per pound, with a $10 minimum scale fee. Metal scrap and recyclables are free. Self-hauling is cheaper for small loads if you have a truck, but it costs you time and effort.
Same-day pickup depends on Loader availability in your area, and rural Adirondack addresses may have fewer open slots. Enter your address during booking to see live availability. Someone only needs to be home if your items are inside.
The Town of Schroon station does not accept paint, electronics, batteries, propane tanks, or brush thicker than 3 inches. Appliances with refrigerants like fridges and A/C units carry their own fee. Those restricted items often need a separate disposal route.
Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating them when local charities accept them, and they try to recycle metal and other materials whenever possible. Anything that can't be donated or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility.
You book online, choose your items and a time window, and see your price before confirming. On pickup day, your Loader contacts you before arriving, then removes and loads the items. Curbside, driveway, and in-home pickups are all options.
