Junk piles up fast, and dealing with it is never anyone's favorite chore. Out in Markham country, LoadUp makes it simple: book a quick pickup and see your price upfront before you commit.
You search online, call the county to ask what's covered, leave messages with haulers in nearby towns, and wait on callbacks that never come. Weeks go by, and the pile in the barn is still there.
Markham is unincorporated, so it has no city bulk pickup program of its own. Any county or nearby city options may not reach rural addresses, often skip appliances and construction debris, and still expect you to drag everything to the road yourself.
Many haulers want to come out and look before they'll give you a number, and the drive out west of Bay City doesn't help. Truckload pricing leaves you guessing how much of the truck your load fills until the job is already done.
Donation centers only want items in good shape they can resell. A sagging couch, a rusted deep freezer, or a pile of weathered fencing won't make the cut, so you still need another plan for most of what's left.
A roll-off sitting on your acreage for a week means coordinating delivery and pickup windows, possibly tearing up the grass, and doing all the heavy lifting yourself. For one shed or a few big pieces, it's far more than the job needs.

Your Loader works an old freezer out of a cramped pole barn or past a low shed doorway with care. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Markham after each job.
Curbside makes sense if you have already moved the old recliner or a stack of fencing scraps out to the edge of your driveway. If things are still inside the farmhouse, a detached garage, or the back of a barn, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry them out for you.

Markham has no city bulk pickup program to lean on, and a dead chest freezer in the barn won't load itself into a pickup bed for a trip to town. Your Loaders handle the lifting, carrying, and loading, and they like showing up for neighbors who keep this corner of the coastal plain running.
Out past the city limits, bulky items like old sofas, appliances, and barn leftovers need a plan once they leave your property. In Markham, your Loader sorts each load by condition, so reusable pieces stay out of the landfill.
Furniture and household goods that are clean and in working shape can be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading so good items get a second life.
Items that are worn or damaged but not ready for donation, like metal frames or some appliances, may be recycled where available. Acceptance varies, so your Loader sorts what can be diverted.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or broken bulky items that can't be donated or recycled are taken to an appropriate disposal site. Your Loader hauls them out, and heavy materials like concrete may have limits.
Show up with a recently burned barrel or an untarped trailer and you can be refused or charged extra. These rules apply in Markham and across Matagorda County.
To prevent fires, any barrel burned within the previous 72 hours will not be unloaded at any Matagorda County waste facility. Burned trash and the burn barrel itself are accepted after that window, each at its own barrel rate.
Texas outdoor burning rules prohibit burning treated lumber, plastics, electrical insulation, non-wood construction and demolition materials, and anything containing natural or synthetic rubber. For rural Markham properties, that rules out the burn pile for treated deck boards, shingles, and tires.
Matagorda County's annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day, typically held in the fall at the county fairgrounds, has taken computers, printers, and cell phones, but TVs appear on the list of items not to bring, along with compressed gas cylinders.
The county transfer station turns away trailers over 20 feet unless they are end dumps, and it does not accept car haulers or flatbed trailers. Roll-off boxes max out at 30 yards, and end dumps and roll-offs are weekday only.
Past Matagorda County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days have listed old appliances, with or without Freon, among accepted items. The event is limited to household waste, and contractor debris and farm or business waste are not accepted.
The Matagorda County Transfer Station charges a tarp fee on any load that arrives without a tarp, and the county's posted fee sheet says no exceptions. Payment is cash or check only, as the site does not take credit cards.

(678) 884-4738Markham is unincorporated, so there is no city crew running bulk curbside pickup. Households usually use a private trash hauler or take items to a disposal site themselves. Dumping on roadsides or vacant land is illegal under the Texas litter law.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Markham starts at $75, and curbside or outdoor pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.
Sometimes. Availability in a rural area like Markham depends on Loader coverage near Bay City and the time you book, so enter your address during booking to see open slots. For outdoor pickups you usually don't need to be home.
Bay City has no city landfill, but Matagorda County owns a transfer station you can reach at 979-245-4547. Call first to confirm hours, accepted materials, and fees. Self-hauling is cheaper if you have a truck and the time.
Texas treats illegal dumping as a criminal offense under Health and Safety Code Chapter 365. Penalties for individuals start with fines of up to $500 and rise with the amount dumped, up to felony charges. Leaving junk on a rural road or field counts.
Loaders try to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating them to local charities when options allow. They recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Anything left goes to a permitted disposal facility, never roadside or vacant land.
Pick your items and enter your Markham address online, then choose a time window and see your total upfront. A Loader typically calls or texts before arrival, loads everything from the spot you indicate, and hauls it away.
The pricing model differs. Truckload haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King generally quote by the volume of truck space used. LoadUp prices per item online with the total confirmed before booking. For big cleanouts, a truckload quote may fit better.
