Junk has a way of piling up until it's one more thing on the list. On The Rock, LoadUp gives you a quick pickup and a clear price before you book.
You look into the town's options, call around to a few haulers, and wait on callbacks that never come. Another week passes, then another trip to the mainland, and the junk is still sitting in the garage.
The Town of New Shoreham's waste options work well for everyday trash and recycling. Bulky or heavy items are a different story. Accepted items, hours, and fees can change with the season, and you usually have to get everything there yourself.
A lot of haulers want to come out and see the job before they'll give you a number. Then the price depends on how much of the truck you fill, which makes it hard to know what you'll actually pay until the work is done.
Donation spots on and off the island only take what they can resell or reuse, and that's fair. Worn furniture, stained mattresses, and broken pieces usually get turned away, and you still have to haul everything there and maybe back again.
Getting a dumpster to an island property can mean coordinating delivery, finding a level spot, and possibly getting a permit. Then it sits in the driveway for days while you do the lifting yourself. That's a lot of hassle for one room's worth of stuff.

A sleeper sofa wedged in a rental cottage's narrow stairwell gets carried down and out by your Loader. Your Loaders are background-checked and rated by real locals in Block Island after each job.
If the old grill or bed frame is already sitting at the end of your driveway or beside the garage, curbside is the simpler fit. If you are closing up a seasonal rental and the beds, dressers, and boxes are still upstairs or in the basement, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry everything out from where it sits.

Anyone who has tried to balance a box spring on a moped knows how this goes. Block Island's narrow roads and steady bike traffic were never built for bulky hauls. Your Loaders handle the lifting, carry everything out, and take it away, and they genuinely like showing up for the neighbors here.
Bulky items pile up fast on Block Island, and where they end up depends on their condition. Your Loader looks over each piece and sorts it toward donation, recycling, or disposal when local options allow.
Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader carries them out, though acceptance depends on what donation channels are available at the time.
Items that are worn or damaged but still have usable materials may be recycled where available. Options on the island are limited and can change seasonally, so recycling is never guaranteed.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or broken bulky items are loaded by your Loader for responsible disposal. Block Island has limited disposal options, so handling depends on what is available at the time of your pickup.
A storm-soaked mattress can be refused and most bulky loads are billed by weight, so these are the rules that apply on Block Island in Washington County.
The New Shoreham Transfer Station charges a separate, higher per-item fee for appliances with Freon than for large white goods without it. Federal rules require refrigerant to be recovered before these units are scrapped, so plan for the added cost.
Leaf and yard waste is charged by weight at the New Shoreham Transfer Station, at the same rate as bulky waste. Backyard compost bins sold at the Transfer Station give islanders a way to handle leaves without paying at the scale.
Mattresses and box springs go inside the building at the New Shoreham Transfer Station free of charge, since Rhode Island collects the recycling cost at purchase. Ones that are wet, frozen, twisted, heavily soiled, or appear to contain bed bugs are rejected and charged.
E-waste is accepted at the New Shoreham Transfer Station and charged by weight rather than tossed with household trash. Rhode Island law bars covered electronics such as televisions and computer monitors from regular solid waste disposal.
The Transfer Station accepts motor oil and filters for a per-gallon fee, and that category specifically includes diesel fuel and hydraulic fluid, a useful outlet on an island where boat and generator maintenance is routine.
Residents can drop off cardboard and extra recycling at the Transfer Station at no cost, while businesses pay by weight. Keeping boxes out of a bulky waste load matters, since bulky waste is billed by the pound.

(678) 884-4738No. Block Island has one municipal Transfer Station, and bulky waste is dropped off there rather than collected from the curb. Furniture, bulky waste and construction debris cost $340 per ton, or $0.17 per pound, at the drop-off.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Block Island starts at $105, and curbside or outdoor pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on, with the exact total confirmed before booking.
It depends on the day. Block Island is a ferry-served island, so crew availability can differ from the mainland. Enter your address during booking to see which dates are open. For curbside pickups you usually don't need to be home if you leave access notes.
Large appliances cost $10 each at the Transfer Station, and appliances with Freon cost $50 each. E-waste is charged by weight at $340 per ton, or $0.17 per pound. Mattresses are free if they're recyclable, but rejected ones cost $100.
Loaders try to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on what local partners accept. Anything that can't be reused or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item and condition, so none of this is guaranteed.
You pick your items online, see the price, choose a time window, and book. On pickup day, Loaders arrive in that window, confirm the items, and haul them away. The total is confirmed before booking, so the price you were quoted is what you pay.
For a small load of items you can carry and transport yourself, the Transfer Station is often cheaper, since bulky waste is $0.17 per pound. A hauler makes more sense for heavy items, big cleanouts, or when you don't have a truck.
The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King typically price by truck volume, often after an estimate. LoadUp prices per item online, and you see the total before booking.
