The Problem

Getting junk out of a Herndon home takes longer than it should

You look up the town and county rules, call a few haulers, and wait on quotes that never come back. Meanwhile the garage stays full and the move-out date keeps getting closer.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Bulk collection can work well when your address qualifies, but service depends on whether the Town, the County, or a private hauler covers your street. Many townhome and condo communities use HOA contracts instead. Schedules, item limits, and exclusions vary, so confirm the details before you drag anything outside.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many old-school outfits want to come by for an estimate first, which means taking time off around their schedule. Then the quote comes as a fraction of a truckload, and that number can change once the job starts. You end up unsure what you will actually pay.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities have to be choosy, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and anything with a scratch or missing part often gets turned away. You might still have to load it into your car and drive it there first, then bring the rejects back home.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container is built for renovations, not a basement of old furniture. You have to plan drop-off and pickup dates, and you may need permission to put it on the street or a shared lot. In a tight townhome row, it can also take neighbors' parking.

What sets us apart

Your price is locked before pickup day

Most companies charge by truck space, and the price often changes on arrival. LoadUp charges by item, based on exactly what you're removing.

  • Per-item, predictable. First item includes the pickup fee. Every add-on is flat, no truck math, no hourly rates.
  • Locked means locked. The price at booking is what you pay. No adjustments, no surprises.
  • No-obligation quotes. Big job or full cleanout? Text a photo for a guaranteed price first.

Vetted Loaders who show up ready to lift

Carrying a sectional down a narrow townhome staircase with a tight landing turn is routine work for your Loaders, who are background-checked and rated by real locals in Herndon after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it at the curb or leave it where it sits

Curbside works well when the item is already on your driveway and your HOA is fine with it sitting out front briefly. If it is in a finished basement or an upper-floor apartment with a long hallway to the elevator, choose full-service so your Loaders carry it out from inside.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Herndon, on both sides of the Dulles Toll Road

Hauling an old sectional to a drop-off site means joining the Route 28 crawl with a couch strapped in a borrowed truck, and Herndon commuters know how that Saturday ends. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading instead. LoadUp and your Loaders like showing up for people who already spend their week in that traffic.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Herndon homes turn over a lot of bulky furniture, garage clutter, and old equipment, so where it all ends up matters. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, aiming to keep usable things out of the landfill.

Local Disposal Rules

The Herndon disposal rules most residents don't know

A misplaced pile in Herndon can sit uncollected at the curb, or worse, spark a fire at the county transfer station. These rules apply across Herndon and Fairfax County.

Rule 01

Compressed air tanks go back to the supplier, not the trash

Fairfax County says pressurized gas containers must never go in household trash or recycling, after an exploding tank injured transfer station staff. Compressed air tanks go back to the supplier. Helium tanks under 20 pounds and camping-size propane canisters are accepted at county facilities.

Rule 02

Oversized moving boxes need advance notice before hitting the curb

In Herndon, cardboard too large for your recycling cart, including moving boxes, is collected on your recycling day. The town asks you to send an application to Public Works at least 24 hours ahead so it can plan staffing and equipment.

Rule 03

Contractor-cut trees and stumps stay off town brush routes

The Town of Herndon does not remove trees or stumps cut by tree companies or contractors, so plan for that after storm cleanup. Brush the town collects must be bundled no longer than four feet, 50 pounds or less, with limbs no thicker than three inches.

Rule 04

Old mirrors and window glass do not belong in purple bins

Herndon's purple containers take clean glass bottles and jars of all colors, which keeps glass out of single-stream recycling. Mirrors, windows, sheet glass, ceramics, porcelain, lamps, and light bulbs are not accepted, and the town does not run a recycling drop-off.

Rule 05

Old televisions and gaming systems head to the I-66 Transfer Station

Fairfax County's I-66 Transfer Station accepts electronics such as televisions, computers, gaming systems, keyboards, speakers, and cords for drop-off. E-waste shares a schedule with household hazardous waste that is separate from the facility's general hours, so check the times before you load up.

Rule 06

No town spring clean-up collection to absorb extra household junk

The Herndon Town Council cut the Spring Clean-up Special Collection from the FY26 budget. Regular trash must fit in town-provided carts with the lids fully closed, and bags or extra cans not provided by the town will not be collected.

Not without arranging collection first. Herndon sits in Fairfax County, and trash left out outside of your hauler's scheduled service can be treated as illegal dumping. Check with your trash hauler or HOA about bulk pickup rules before putting anything out.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Herndon starts at $85, 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. Truckload haulers usually quote by volume.

Sometimes. Same-day slots depend on Loader availability near Herndon and the time you book, and next-day is more common. Enter your address during booking to see which times are open for your location. Availability varies by day.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. You can leave items outside with access notes. For items inside a home, townhouse, or apartment, someone should be there, or you can leave entry instructions when booking. Your Loader typically gives notice before arriving.

Hazardous materials such as paint, solvents, pesticides, propane tanks, and chemicals generally can't go in regular hauls. Fairfax County runs household hazardous waste drop-off programs for these. Bulky furniture, appliances, and general household clutter are usually fine.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill. Depending on acceptance, furniture and household goods may be donated to local charities, and recyclable materials are taken to recyclers whenever possible. Items that can't be reused or recycled are disposed of at the proper facility.

You pick your items and a time slot online, see the full price upfront, and confirm. On pickup day your Loader arrives in the window, does the lifting and loading, and handles the haul-away. You don't need to move anything to the curb unless you choose the curbside discount.

The main difference is pricing and booking. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King generally price by truckload volume and may confirm the quote on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before booking. For big full-room cleanouts, a truckload hauler can be a better fit.
