Junk has a way of piling up until it's one more thing on your list. In Hickory, LoadUp makes it simple: book a quick pickup, see your upfront quote first, and get your space back.
You search online, call Metro to ask what they'll pick up, and leave messages with haulers. Some never call back. Others want to see the pile first. Weeks go by and the junk hasn't moved.
Metro Nashville's bulk pickup programs work well for some loads, but they come with item limits, a request process, and a wait for your turn on the schedule. Everything has to go out to the street first, which doesn't help when the heavy pieces are still in a basement.
Lots of haulers want to come out and look before they'll give you a number, and then they price by how much of the truck you fill. You don't know the real total until the job is done, and by then the price is out of your hands.
Donation centers need items they can actually resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken appliances often get turned away. Most won't pick up from inside your house either, so you still have to load it and drive it over.
A rented dumpster means picking a size, booking delivery, and possibly getting permission if it has to sit near the street. Then it takes up your driveway for days while you do all the lifting. That's a lot of work for clearing out one garage.

Your Loader handles the awkward part, like easing a dresser down a steep, narrow staircase in an older home. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Old Hickory after each job.
If the broken treadmill or old patio set is already out on the driveway, curbside pickup keeps things simple. Full-service is often the better fit for the historic mill village's older, modest homes, since your Loaders carry items out through tight doorways and hallways for you.

Let's be honest, wrestling a worn-out mattress into a borrowed truck and creeping down Old Hickory Boulevard is nobody's idea of a good Saturday. Your Loaders carry it out of the garage, basement, or backyard and haul it away. They like showing up for neighbors here, and your weekend has better things to do.
Big, bulky items are hard to move alone, and what happens to them afterward matters in Old Hickory. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so donation, recycling, or disposal fits what it is, when local options allow.
Furniture, tools, and household goods in clean, usable shape may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader carries them out and loads them separately from the rest of the pile.
Items that are worn or damaged but still hold useful materials, like metal frames or old exercise equipment, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them from the rest of the load.
Heavily damaged, soaked, or contaminated bulky items, such as a ruined mattress or a collapsed couch, go to responsible disposal. Your Loader handles the heavy carrying from your basement, garage, or yard in Old Hickory.
Bringing items to the wrong Metro Convenience Center or exceeding a monthly cap means extra fees or a wasted trip, under rules that apply in Old Hickory and Davidson County.
The Davidson County Sheriff's Office offers bulk item pickup to Davidson County residents free of charge. Pickups are scheduled by appointment, and discarded items must be on the curb in front of the house on the appointed day.
Metro's East and Ezell Pike Convenience Centers take small amounts of carpet pad for recycling at no added charge, but only once it is pulled apart from the carpet. Stacked pickup truck beds and trailer loads of pad are not allowed.
Household hazardous waste can be dropped off free only at the East and Ezell Pike Convenience Centers, up to 15 gallons or 100 pounds per household each month. Anything over that limit is listed as unacceptable.
The free allowance of three trash bags and one bulk item, limited to one visit per day, specifically excludes mattresses. Residents can drop off any combination of up to four mattresses and box springs per month for recycling, and fees apply.
Small amounts of do-it-yourself construction and demolition waste, such as scrap wood, are accepted only at the Omohundro Convenience Center for a fee. Metro directs larger loads to private sites like the Middle Tennessee Environmental Center at the Southern Services Landfill.
Metro Convenience Centers accept one bulk scrap metal item or up to three trash bags of scrap metal at no charge. The official list includes refrigerators, washers and dryers, ovens and ranges, dishwashers, lawncare equipment, and even expired license plates.

(678) 884-4738Not without an arranged pickup. Metro Nashville's regular trash service is not a bulk haul, and piles left out on their own risk being treated as illegal dumping. Metro's Davidson County Sheriff's Office runs a bulk item program, and Metro Convenience Centers take self-hauled loads.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Old Hickory starts at $80, 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. The exact total is confirmed before booking.
Same-day pickup is often available, but it depends on the schedule in your area that day. Enter your address during booking to see the live openings. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or you can leave access notes.
Household hazardous waste like paint, bleach, antifreeze, gasoline and batteries needs special handling. Metro takes it free at the East and Ezell Pike Convenience Centers, up to 15 gallons or 100 pounds per month. Haulers generally can't take these items, so set them aside before pickup day.
Loaders try to keep usable items out of the landfill. Whenever possible they route furniture and household goods to local donation partners and recyclable materials to recyclers. Depending on acceptance and condition, anything left over goes to the appropriate disposal facility. Donation and recycling are not guaranteed.
You choose your items and enter your Old Hickory address online, then pick a time window and see your total before you confirm. Your Loader usually gives notice before arriving. They load the items from where you've pointed them out, indoors or at the curb, and take them away.
The main difference is how the price is set. Traditional haulers like College HUNKS and 1-800-GOT-JUNK typically price by truck volume and offer estimates, and College HUNKS lists a typical range of $150 to $750. LoadUp prices per item online, so the total is shown before booking.
It can be, if you have a truck, a few loads and time to spare. Metro runs free Convenience Centers, including the East and Ezell Pike locations, where residents can self-haul. A hauler costs more, but it saves the lifting, loading and trips, which matters for heavy or bulky items.
