When junk keeps piling up, it turns into a chore nobody has time for. Book LoadUp for a quick pickup and a clear price upfront, and get your Chattanooga space back.
You look up the rules, call a few numbers, and wait on callbacks that never come. One hauler wants to see it first, another goes quiet. Weeks later, the junk still owns the garage.
City bulk pickup programs work well for some items, but they come with eligibility rules, request steps, and limits on what gets taken. Not every address qualifies the same way, and you still have to get everything down to the curb yourself.
Many haulers want to come look before they give you a number, then price by how much of the truck you fill. That leaves you guessing about the cost until the job is underway, and sometimes until it's done.
Donation centers have to be selective about condition, and they turn down stained, broken, or worn-out pieces. Even when something qualifies, you still have to load it and drive it there. Whatever they turn down comes right back home with you.
A rented dumpster takes up your driveway or the street for days, and you may need a permit before it arrives. You still do all the lifting, and on a sloped lot or a tight street, it's a lot for a one-room cleanout.

Your Loaders carry items down steep front steps on a hillside home or up from a narrow basement stairwell. Each one is background-checked and rated by real locals in Chattanooga after every job.
Curbside fits when the old dresser is already sitting at the bottom of your driveway or by the street. If it is still upstairs in a condo, or getting it out would mean dragging it down a steep hillside lot yourself, full-service lets your Loaders carry it out from where it sits.

Chattanooga is built on hills, and anyone who has wrestled a dresser down a steep driveway knows the hill only helps one way. Then comes the drive to the landfill. Your Loaders handle the lifting, carrying, and loading, and they like showing up for neighbors who just want the afternoon back.
Bulky items are hard to move alone, and in Chattanooga, where hillside lots and older homes can make that harder, where things end up matters. Your Loader sorts by condition, favoring reuse when local options allow.
Furniture, sporting goods, and household items in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, and availability depends on what nearby channels currently accept.
Items that are damaged but still have usable materials, like metal frames, appliances, or electronics, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them during loading, and acceptance varies by facility and item type.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or broken bulky items that can't be reused or recycled go to an appropriate disposal site for the Chattanooga area. Your Loader carries and hauls them so you don't make the trip.
Miss the Monday setout or mix materials, and a pile can sit until your area's next rotation. These rules apply in Chattanooga and Hamilton County.
Chattanooga has reported brush collection delays from peak seasonal demand and commercial dumping. Residents may take brush, meaning natural wood like tree limbs and hedge bushes, to the Wood Recycle Center, while land clearing debris is never collected curbside.
The city's bulk trash collection is not offered to businesses, apartment complexes, or landlords. You or a relative must live at the address requesting service, so a vacant rental turnover or tenant move-out pile does not qualify for city pickup.
Chattanooga notes that the glass it recycles comes from its drop-off recycling centers only, from which it is shipped to a processor in Atlanta. Jars and bottles cleared from a pantry or garage belong at a recycle center, not the curbside cart.
Each Chattanooga property is limited to twelve bulk trash collections in any consecutive twelve month period, covering items like mattresses, furniture, carpet, and water heaters. Bulk trash can also be taken to one of the city's refuse centers at no charge.
Chattanooga's curbside recycling accepts flattened, clean, empty cardboard, but recyclables cannot be bagged or stacked on top of the cart, and the lid must close completely. Spills from overfilled containers will not be picked up. Overflow cardboard is accepted at city recycle centers.
Chattanooga lists tires and railroad ties as unacceptable for curbside bulk trash collection, and bulk piles must not be mixed with treated wood. Pull these out before setting furniture at the curb, since bulk piles must stay free of other unacceptable material.

Often, depending on the schedule that day. Enter your address during booking to see live availability for your area, from Hixson to Brainerd. For curbside pickups you generally don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access instructions.
Hazardous items like paint and chemicals don't belong in curbside piles. Hamilton County residents can use the Household Hazardous Waste Facility for free. Tires go to the Hamilton County Transfer Station at 7625 Standifer Gap Rd.
Yes. The City Landfill is free for city residents disposing of household garbage from their primary residence, in a vehicle no larger than a pickup truck. Non-residents pay $2 per bag up to 15 bags, then tipping fees with a $30.50 minimum.
Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating or recycling them whenever options allow. Outcomes depend on item condition and what local charities and recyclers will accept. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility.
You pick your items and address online, see the total upfront, and choose a time window. On pickup day your Loader arrives, does the lifting and loading, and takes the items away. You don't need to move anything yourself.
