The Problem

Getting junk gone in St. Matthews takes longer than it should

You call the town, then the county, and get two different answers. You leave messages for a couple of haulers, and one never calls back. A month later, the junk is still sitting in the shed.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Town and county programs can help when your items fit their rules, but bulky pieces, renovation debris, and large loads often fall outside what they accept. Pickup usually waits on their schedule, and you may still have to drag everything to the curb or a convenience center yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before quoting, and that can mean waiting days for someone to stop by. Then pricing gets tied to a vague share of a truck, so the number you hear up front can shift once the loading starts.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation outlets only take items they can resell or pass along, so a scratched table, a stained mattress, or a broken appliance usually gets turned away. Options can be limited in a smaller community, and you still have to load and deliver everything yourself.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container makes sense for a full gut renovation, but it's a lot for clearing one room or a cluttered garage. You may need permission to park it, it can tear up a driveway or lawn, and you're still the one carrying every load out to it.

Vetted Loaders who show up and see it through

Your Loaders wrestle a rusted mower out of a cramped backyard shed and onto the truck. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in St. Matthews after each job.

  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it by the road or leave it where it sits

If the old washer or brush pile is already at the end of your driveway, curbside pickup is all you need. Full-service is the better fit when a dresser is still in a back bedroom of an in-town home or the clutter fills a detached garage or barn on a larger rural lot, because your Loaders carry it out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving St. Matthews, from the Congaree to Lake Marion

Out here, getting rid of an old sofa usually means borrowing a neighbor's truck, hunting for ratchet straps, and losing half a Saturday to the round trip. You can skip the favor-trading. Your Loaders do the lifting and loading, and they genuinely like showing up for the folks around St. Matthews.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Big, bulky items are hard to move alone, and where they end up matters. In St. Matthews, your Loader sorts each load by condition, so usable pieces and recyclables stay out of the landfill when local options allow.

Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader sets those items aside for donation where available, so usable pieces can find a second home.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Local Disposal Rules

The St. Matthews disposal rules most residents don't know

Dumping junk on public property breaks South Carolina litter law, and Calhoun County keeps a dedicated Litter Control office, so these Saint Matthews and Calhoun County rules matter.

Rule 01

Only four tires per resident each year, rims removed

Calhoun County lets residents bring up to four tires per year to the county landfill. It is the only county site that takes car, motorcycle, bus, and truck tires. Tires must be off the rim, so mounted spares need dismounting first.

Rule 02

Televisions and monitors are no longer taken at collection sites

Since July 1, 2011, Calhoun County has required household electronics, including televisions, computers, monitors, and printers, to go to the Landfill Recycling Center. The rural collection sites stopped accepting them after June 2011, so a trip to the landfill is the only county option.

Rule 03

Business waste is illegal at county recycling centers

Calhoun County recycling centers are for residential use only and cost nothing for households to use. However, using them for commercially generated waste is illegal, so contractors and businesses clearing out a property need a different legal way to dispose of it.

Rule 04

Leftover fuel mixtures from garage cleanouts have one drop-off point

Calhoun County accepts oil and gasoline mixtures, like the stale fuel left in mower and small-engine cans, only at the Landfill Recycling Center. The neighborhood recycling centers do not take it, so set these containers aside for a separate trip.

Rule 05

Residents get a free yearly allowance for renovation debris

Calhoun County residents can bring up to four tons of construction and demolition waste to the county landfill each year at no charge. Big remodels can go past that limit, so estimate how much drywall, flooring, and cabinetry you have before demolition starts.

Rule 06

Refrigerators and washers go in the scrap metal container

Calhoun County recycling centers collect appliances as scrap metal. The county list includes stoves, washers and dryers, refrigerators, grills, and bicycles. Tires and electronics can only go to the landfill, but these items are accepted across the county's recycling centers, and attendants can point out the right container.

Not as a general rule. Calhoun County runs staffed solid waste collection sites instead of offering open-ended bulk curbside pickup, and dumping items on a roadside or vacant lot can count as illegal dumping. Check the county Public Works office for current hours and accepted items.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in St. Matthews starts at $80, and pickup from the curb or driveway takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. The exact total is confirmed before booking. Hauling it yourself to a county site is cheaper in cash but costs time and truck access.

Sometimes, depending on Loader availability in the Calhoun County area. Same-day slots are more likely when you book early in the day, and next-day is easier to find. Entering your address during booking shows the real availability for St. Matthews.

Hazardous items like paint, chemicals, car batteries, and used motor oil generally need separate handling, and many county sites sort scrap metal, appliances, and yard waste into different areas. Rules vary by site, so confirm with Calhoun County Public Works before loading your truck.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating them to local charities or thrift stores when those options allow. They try to recycle metal, cardboard, and electronics whenever possible. Anything that can't be donated or recycled goes to the appropriate disposal facility, and acceptance varies by item.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. You can leave items outside and add access notes when booking. For items inside your home or garage, someone should be there, or you can leave clear access instructions. You get updates before your Loader arrives.

The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King usually price by truck space, often after an estimate. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms your total before booking. For a big full-house cleanout, a truckload hauler may fit better.
