When junk piles up in the Collar City, it gets old fast. LoadUp makes it simple: book a quick pickup, see your price before you commit, and get your space back.
You search for options, call the city, leave messages with a few haulers, and wait. Some call back with vague quotes, others never do. Weeks later, the junk is still parked in the basement.
City bulk pickup programs can save you money, but you usually have to schedule ahead, follow item rules, and get everything to the curb yourself. Appliances, electronics, and renovation debris often need separate handling, and steep porch steps don't get any easier.
Many haulers want to come out and look before they'll give you a number, then price by the fraction of a truck they think you'll fill. You often don't know the real cost until the job is done and the truck is already loaded.
Thrift stores and charities need things they can resell, so stained couches, worn mattresses, and broken furniture often get turned away. Even good pieces usually need to be dropped off, which means getting a heavy dresser down a narrow row house stairwell yourself.
A roll-off container takes up a parking space or driveway for days, may need a street permit, and comes with delivery and pickup windows to plan around. On a tight block where parking is already scarce, neighbors notice. For one room of junk, it's too much.

Your Loaders take on the steep, narrow stairs of older walk-ups, carrying couches and dressers around landings that barely fit them. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Troy after each job.
Curbside makes sense when your items are already at the street or in the driveway, like a stack of old furniture you moved out of a ground-level garage. Full-service is the better fit when the load is in the basement of an older row house or in an attic up two flights, because your Loaders carry it out from wherever it sits.

Troy's brick row houses were built long before anyone pictured a sectional couch, and the stairwells show it. Steep, narrow, and a little unforgiving, they make a basement clear-out feel like a team sport. Your Loaders carry it all down and out, and they genuinely like showing up for this city's people.
Bulky items pile up fast in Troy's older, multi-story buildings, and where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring donation or recycling when local options allow, with disposal as the last step.
Sofas, dressers, and other items in good, clean condition may be donated when possible. Your Loader carries them out and takes reusable pieces toward donation instead of straight to disposal.
Items too worn to donate, like scrap metal, damaged appliances, or broken furniture frames, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them from the rest of the load for that purpose.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, such as soaked mattresses or rotted furniture from a Troy basement, are disposed of responsibly. Your Loader handles the loading and hauling, so you don't have to.
In Troy, renovation debris left at the curb counts as illegal disposal, and an unscheduled bulk pile can bring a littering penalty. These rules apply in Troy, Rensselaer County.
The City of Troy does not collect construction debris. Any construction or demolition material set out at the curb is treated as illegal disposal. For these materials, the city suggests a dumpster company or a private pickup company.
Since 2015, New York's Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act has banned households from putting covered electronics, such as computers and televisions, in the trash. Manufacturers must offer consumers a free way to recycle this equipment.
Troy's bulk program does not pick up tires from commercial properties. Residents have another option in the city's free spring bulk drop-off. It returned in 2024 for the first time in decades, accepts tires and is open only to city residents.
Troy collects furniture, appliances, carpets, TVs and mattresses by appointment only. If items go to the curb or alley without a scheduled pickup, the property owner faces a removal charge and a penalty under city code Section 188-3, Littering.
Troy's Department of Public Works does not pick up dirt, rocks, bricks, cinder blocks, sand or concrete. Rubble from patio tear-outs, regrading or basement projects is not covered by the city's curbside and bulk services and needs a separate disposal route.
Troy's bulk pickup program will not accept hazardous waste, electronics or construction materials. Before a scheduled pickup, residents need to take hazardous products out of their furniture and other bulk items and use a collection set up for household hazardous materials.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Troy starts at $90 for a single item, and curbside or outdoor pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. Your exact total is confirmed before booking.
Sometimes. Same-day and next-day slots depend on Loader availability in the Capital Region, so enter your Troy address at booking to see live openings. For curbside pickups you generally don't need to be home, and in-home pickups need someone present or access instructions.
Hazardous materials such as paint, solvents, chemicals, and batteries usually can't go out with regular trash anywhere in New York. Large or bulky items often have their own rules too. Confirm current limits with the City of Troy or Rensselaer County before setting anything out.
Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill. Depending on acceptance, good furniture and household goods may go to local donation partners, and recyclable materials are sorted for recycling whenever possible. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility.
You choose your items and pick a time online, then see your total before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader arrives in the window, handles the lifting and loading, and takes the items away. You don't need to haul anything to the curb yourself for in-home pickups.
If you have a truck, time, and a small load, hauling it yourself to a Rensselaer County disposal site or using the city's own service is often cheaper. Paid junk removal makes more sense for heavy items, stairs, tight schedules, or when you have no vehicle.
