The Problem

Short Pump has junk options. None of them fit.

You search online, read county pages, and call a few haulers. One wants to come out and look first, another never calls back. Weeks go by, and the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Henrico County offers bulk collection, but you have to request it ahead of time and follow rules about which items qualify. You still have to drag everything to the curb yourself, and the pickup date may not match your move-out or closing deadline.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to send someone to look before giving you a number, and then the price depends on how full the truck gets. You often don't know what you'll actually pay until the job is done and the truck is loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Local donation centers look closely at condition, so stained, worn, or broken pieces usually get turned away. Most won't take mattresses or certain appliances at all, and you still have to load everything up and drive it over yourself.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off dumpster makes sense for a full gut renovation, not for clearing out one bedroom. It takes up your driveway for days, may have to follow HOA rules, and you're still the one carrying every heavy item out to it.

Background-checked Loaders who treat your home with care

Pickup Options

Set it at the curb or leave it where it sits

If the old grill or a stack of boxes is already sitting in your driveway, curbside (also called outdoor) service keeps the visit quick and simple. For a dresser in an upstairs bedroom, a treadmill in the basement, or a couch in an apartment off West Broad Street, choose full-service so your Loaders carry it out from inside.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky furniture and appliances are hard to move alone, so where they end up matters to Short Pump households. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, aiming for donation or recycling when local options allow.

Local Disposal Rules

The Short Pump disposal rules most residents don't know

Misread these rules and a loaded truck gets turned away or a curbside pile sits uncollected. Here is what applies in Short Pump and across Henrico County.

Rule 01

Furniture piles over the standard size miss the base rate

Henrico's bulky waste service is priced around a standard pile of 8 by 4 by 4 feet. Furniture and other items exceeding that size or outside the qualifying list will not be collected at the standard rate, and pickup comes within 14 calendar days.

Rule 02

Rental property cleanouts are barred from county Public Use Areas

Henrico's two Public Use Areas are strictly residential, and a driver's license with a Henrico address serves as proof. Debris from rental properties, vacant lots, or businesses counts as commercial waste, and bringing it violates County Code and Virginia DEQ regulations.

Rule 03

Bagged leaves go free in winter, but yard waste must be clean

Henrico collects bagged leaves at the curb at no charge during a set window running from November into February. Public Use Areas also take yard waste free, but it is processed into mulch, so plastic, paper, and trash must stay out.

Rule 04

Refrigerators and air conditioners carry an extra curbside charge

Henrico's bulky waste curbside service, run through TurboHaul, accepts refrigerators, freezers, and AC units, but adds a separate fee for every item containing Freon, HCFC, or CFC refrigerant. Several cooling appliances in one pile means several added charges.

Rule 05

County trash service expands into far western Henrico in 2026

Henrico's trash collection covers most areas, but a two-phase expansion extends service into parts of far western and far eastern Henrico beginning June 1, 2026. Households outside existing routes should confirm their service status before counting on county curbside pickup.

Rule 06

Old paint and gasoline are banned from bulky waste pickup

Containerized liquids such as paint and antifreeze are prohibited from Henrico's bulky waste pickup. Instead, both Public Use Areas accept used motor oil, old gas, antifreeze, and oil-based paints and solvents from county residents free of charge.

Not unless it's part of a county program. Henrico County runs free Community Cleanup days for qualifying older neighborhoods, with notice mailed about two weeks ahead. Bulky items left out at other times can be treated as illegal dumping.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Short Pump starts at $85. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. Curbside or driveway pickup takes $5 off, and your exact total is confirmed before booking. Henrico's contractor bulky waste pickup is $67.

Yes. Henrico partners with an independent contractor for bulky waste pickup available countywide on request, and the fee is $67. Participants in the Real Estate Advantage Program (REAP) get one free pickup per year. It's a good fit for a small, simple load.

Loaders aim to keep as much as possible out of the landfill. Usable items are donated to local charities when options allow, recyclables go to recycling facilities depending on acceptance, and only what can't be reused or recycled is disposed of. Outcomes vary by item and condition.

Get a price online with the real-time price generator, or text a photo of your items. Pick a time, and Loaders arrive to haul the items away. Large projects like a garage or attic cleanout can get an on-site estimate first.

Mainly the pricing model. Many traditional haulers price by truckload and confirm the total at an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online, so you see the total before booking. For a big full-property cleanout, a truckload or on-site quote may suit better.
