The Problem

Johnson has options. It doesn't have an easy one.

First you ask around about who takes what and get pointed toward a drop-off site. Then you leave messages with two haulers, hear back from one, and wait on an estimate while the junk sits through another season.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

There is no town bulk pickup to schedule here. The district transfer station is one of the few in the county that takes bulky loads, but only on its open days, measured by volume when you pull in. It's a drop-off, not a pickup, and the loading is yours.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Most haulers won't price it over the phone. Someone drives out from Morrisville or farther to look, quotes you by how much of a truck bed you fill, then revises once the stairs and the weight come into it. You are left guessing until the job is done.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Reuse shops and thrift operations take what they can sell: clean, working, no tears or damp basement smell. They also expect you to deliver it during a narrow drop-off window, and they will pass on the mattress, the tired recliner, and most of what is left in the pile.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A container needs somewhere to sit for days: a driveway that can hold a delivery truck, or permission if it edges into the road. You still climb in and load it yourself, and you rent the whole box to clear one room.

  • 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.

Background-checked Loaders who show up ready to work

A sectional wedged up a farmhouse stairwell or a treadmill buried in a dirt-floor basement is your Loader's problem, not yours. Every Loader is background checked and rated by real locals in Johnson after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Pick the service level that matches your load

If everything is already stacked in the driveway or beside the barn, curbside works and keeps things simple. When the couch is still in an upstairs apartment above a storefront or behind a shed door that has not opened since fall, choose full service and your Loaders will carry it out.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving all of Johnson, both sides of Route 15

Around here, getting rid of something big usually means borrowing a truck, hoping the driveway has firmed up, and giving up a Saturday to the transfer station run. Not everyone has the truck, the back, or the free morning. Your Loaders do the lifting and the carrying, and they like showing up for the people here.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items leave a Johnson property in very different shape, and that condition decides where they can legally go. Your Loader sorts each piece on site, keeping usable things out of a landfill when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Items still clean and structurally sound may be offered to a reuse or thrift channel when possible. Nothing is arranged on your behalf, so handle any donation you need documented before booking.

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

Visible Wear

Recycling

A broken dresser or dead appliance can still hold metal, wood, or electronics that Vermont rules keep separate from trash, so your Loader looks for a recycling option where one is available.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs
See common questions
Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Water damaged mattresses, collapsed furniture, and similar bulky loads go to a permitted transfer station or landfill serving the Johnson area, chosen by your Loader based on the load and what is open that day.

  • No logistics or transport to handle
  • No sorting or drop-off required on your end
  • Local disposal fees covered

Local Disposal Rules

The Johnson disposal rules most residents don't know

Dumping or burning junk instead of hauling it properly can bring fines and cleanup orders, so Johnson households in Lamoille County should know these Vermont rules first.

Rule 01

Illegal dumping carries fines and license consequences

Vermont penalizes anyone who dumps waste on open land or in water outside a certified facility, with fines reaching five hundred dollars plus roadside cleanup duty. Unpaid fines can suspend driving and hunting or fishing privileges.

Rule 02

State law bans core recyclables from your trash

Vermont's Universal Recycling Law makes it illegal to throw away mandated recyclables, leaf and yard debris, clean wood scraps, and food scraps. These materials must be separated and taken to a facility that accepts them.

Rule 03

Freon appliances must keep their refrigerant intact

Appliances are landfill banned statewide, and the Lamoille district asks that refrigerator doors be removed but that refrigerant never be tampered with. Certified processors extract Freon, mercury switches, and capacitors during recycling instead.

Rule 04

Most electronics cannot legally go in the trash

Vermont banned electronic devices from disposal because they carry lead, mercury, and cadmium. The state E-Cycles program covers computers, monitors, printers, peripherals, and televisions at no charge for households dropping off seven or fewer covered devices.

Rule 05

Construction debris is sorted by material at drop-off

Vermont counts lumber, drywall, shingles, flooring, masonry, furniture, and mattresses as construction and demolition waste. In Lamoille County, concrete and brick go only to the Johnson site, while sheetrock and asphalt shingles have limited acceptance.

Rule 06

Yard debris and clean wood need composting or diversion

Leaf and yard debris and untreated wood scraps have been landfill banned since Vermont phased in its disposal bans. Residents may legally manage leaves, brush trimmings, and food scraps in a backyard compost pile instead.

Johnson has no municipal curbside bulky pickup, so anything set out is your responsibility. Residents can haul loose trash and large items to the LRSWMD Johnson drop-off at the Town Garage on Creek Road, open Saturdays 9 am to 1 pm, cash or check only, or book a hauler to handle it for you.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Johnson starts at $100, and leaving items at the curb or driveway takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee for labor and hauling, and each additional item is a flat add-on, so your exact total is confirmed before booking. The LRSWMD Johnson site charges by volume, roughly $32 per cubic yard of bulky trash.

Yes, LoadUp offers same-day or next-day pickup in the Johnson area when you book before noon. Availability depends on Loader schedules across Lamoille County, so entering your zip during booking shows the live options for your address.

Under Vermont's Universal Recycling Law, food scraps, blue-bin recyclables, and leaf and yard debris are banned from the trash and landfill statewide. Vermont has 11 landfill disposal bans in total, covering items like electronics, tires, and appliances, which must go through a district drop-off or a permitted hauler rather than the regular trash.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill whenever possible, routing furniture and goods toward donation and sending recyclables to the right facilities. It matters here because Vermont has just one operating landfill. Mattresses, for example, are about 85 to 90 percent recyclable and are handled through recycling programs when options allow.

For curbside or driveway pickups, no, you can leave items out with access notes added at booking. For in-home removal, someone should be present or provide entry instructions ahead of time. Your Loader typically calls before arriving so you know the ETA.

The main differences are pricing and booking. 1-800-GOT-JUNK serves Vermont with same-day service but sets your price through an in-person estimate once the truck arrives. LoadUp prices per item online and locks that total in before anyone shows up, so there is no driveway estimate to wait on.
