The Problem

Memphis has junk options, just not good ones

You search online, call the city's service line, and leave messages with a few haulers. Some quote, some never call back. Weeks go by and the junk is still sitting in the garage or carport.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Memphis bulk collection works if your items fit the program's rules, you request it ahead, and you can drag everything to the curb yourself. Renovation debris, hazardous items, and a whole houseful from an estate cleanout often fall outside those rules.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come out and look before they'll name a price, and then charge by how much of the truck you fill. Until the bed is loaded, you're guessing what the final bill will be.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers only take items they can resell, so the sagging recliner, the stained mattress, and the broken dresser drawer get turned away. You still have to load and drive the good pieces there yourself.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster can sit on your driveway or the street for days, may need a permit, and blocks parking on tight older streets. You still do all the lifting, and it's far more container than one room of junk needs.

Loaders who are ready for a Memphis attic in August

A steep attic stair in an older bungalow takes patience, and your Loader carries every piece down. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Memphis after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders

Pickup Options

Set it by the street or leave it where it sits

If the storm-split limbs or an old recliner are already at the end of your driveway, choose curbside and your Loader loads them up and leaves. For a sectional in a converted warehouse loft or a dresser upstairs in a brick Tudor, choose full-service and your Loader carries it out from inside.

Serving Memphis, inside the 240 loop and well beyond it

Hauling a sectional down the stairs in a Memphis August, when the humidity clings like a wet towel, is nobody's idea of a free weekend. And after a summer storm, the limbs don't haul themselves. Your Loader lifts, carries, and loads it while you stay in the shade. Showing up for this city is the part we like best.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items are hard to move alone, and in Memphis the question after pickup is where they end up. Your Loader sorts each load by condition, so usable pieces and damaged ones take different paths.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

When a sofa, dresser, or table is clean and sturdy, your Loader may take it to a donation partner when local options allow, so it can be used again.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor
See donation pickup
Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn but not donatable, like metal frames, old appliances, or electronics, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates what local options accept from what they don't.

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

Responsible Disposal

Soaked mattresses, moldy carpet, and broken-up furniture can't be reused. Your Loader hauls these to an appropriate disposal site in the Memphis area, so they don't end up dumped.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Memphis disposal rules most residents don't know

Bags left at the curb illegally get tagged, and removing them falls back on the property owner. These are the rules that apply in Memphis and Shelby County.

Rule 01

Pull tires off their rims before a convenience center drop

The city's Collins Yard Convenience Center accepts up to 10 rimless tires from Memphis residents. Tires still mounted on wheels fall outside that allowance, so separating them first is what keeps a load of old tires accepted.

Rule 02

Bulky curbside piles max out at half a cubic yard

Outside-the-cart bulk collection comes twice a month on your scheduled bulk week, and each bulky item pile is limited to half a cubic yard. Keep piles within three feet of the street and clear of mailboxes, parked cars, fences, trees, and low-hanging limbs.

Rule 03

Paint, pool chemicals, and motor oil need a separate route

The Collins Yard Convenience Center turns away paint, antifreeze, motor oil, pool chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, batteries, fuel tanks, and any liquids. Shelby County runs a separate household hazardous waste program for residents, which is where these garage and shed leftovers belong.

Rule 04

Remove or seal refrigerator doors before setting them out

Memphis asks residents to secure items such as refrigerators by removing the doors or sealing them shut before setting them out for bulk collection. An intact, latching door on an abandoned fridge is a known entrapment hazard for children.

Rule 05

Yard waste becomes city mulch, so keep it separate

Memphis collects up to two 60-gallon bags of yard waste each week alongside cart service, with bigger loads held for bulk weeks. The city turns yard waste into mulch and compost, so keep it separate from non-compostable trash.

Rule 06

Mattresses and furniture can skip the curb on weekends

Two city Solid Waste Convenience Centers accept large items such as furniture and mattresses Friday through Sunday, weather permitting. It's a useful option between bulk weeks, but residents must show proof of residency, and the centers are not for commercial use.

Not without checking the city's rules first. Memphis collects household trash and yard waste on set schedules, and bulky piles put out at the wrong time or in the wrong place can be treated as illegal dumping. Call Memphis 311 to confirm what is allowed at your address.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Memphis starts at $80 for a single item, 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.

Often, depending on Loader availability in your area and how early you book. Enter your address during booking to see the real-time slots for your Memphis zip code. Next-day and scheduled windows are usually easier to get.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. You can leave the items outside with notes about where they are. For items inside your home, someone should be there, or you can give access instructions at booking. Your Loader also sends an arrival heads-up.

Hazardous materials such as paint, solvents, pesticides, and car batteries generally don't belong in household trash anywhere in Shelby County. Large items and construction debris can also fall outside routine collection. Check with Memphis 311 or Shelby County for current disposal options.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill. When options allow, furniture and household goods go to local donation partners, and recyclable materials go to recycling facilities, depending on acceptance. Whatever is left goes to an appropriate disposal facility.

You choose your items and enter your Memphis address online. Then you pick an arrival window and see your total price before you confirm. On pickup day, your Loader arrives in the window, removes the items from where you've pointed them out, and hauls them away.

The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King typically price by truckload space, often confirmed on-site. LoadUp prices per item online, so you see the total before booking. For large cleanouts, a truckload hauler may suit you better.
