The Problem

Getting junk out of a Murray home takes more than willpower

You search for options, call about the city's program, leave messages with a couple of haulers, and wait. One sends a vague quote, another never calls back, and weeks later the junk is still in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Free city pickup has real limits: it runs on the city's schedule, it won't take every item, and you have to get everything to the curb yourself. That works if you can lift it. It doesn't help when the heavy piece is stuck upstairs.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Lots of haulers want to come look before they give you a number, and then they charge by how much of the truck you fill. You won't know what you owe until they're done loading, so the quote you started with may not be the bill you get.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need things they can resell, so a stained mattress, a scratched dresser, or a broken appliance usually gets turned away. Even when they will take something, you're normally the one loading it up and driving it over.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster makes sense for a gut renovation. For one room it means booking delivery and pickup, finding space on the driveway, maybe checking whether you need a permit, and putting up with a big steel box the neighbors look at for a week.

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.

  • Locked means locked. The price at booking is what you pay. No adjustments, no surprises.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Murray, from Court Square to the Highway 641 corridor

When the semester wraps up, half of Murray is trying to fit a futon, a mini fridge, and a bookshelf into one hatchback, and nobody wins. Skip the borrowed trailer and the second trip. Your Loaders handle the lifting and loading, and they genuinely like showing up for this town's students, landlords, and longtime neighbors.

Local Disposal Rules

The Murray disposal rules most residents don't know

Miss Murray's brush dates and disposal falls on you, and the transfer station rejects certain loads outright. Here's what applies in Murray and Calloway County.

Rule 01

Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners stay out of the transfer station

The Murray Transfer Station will not accept air conditioners, refrigerators, or freezers. These units contain refrigerant that federal rules require be recovered before disposal, so they cannot ride along with a mixed load of household junk headed to the county's drop-off.

Rule 02

Moving out of Murray? The garbage cart stays behind

Every Murray garbage cart is serial-numbered, issued to a specific address, and must not leave the premises. Residents vacating a home should notify the Sanitation Department. Since only city-owned carts are emptied, loose move-out bags left at the curb will not be collected.

Rule 03

Spring brush pickup has size limits and a firm schedule

Murray's free spring brush pickup runs from late April into May and takes only trimmings no more than six feet long or six inches thick. Stumps and root balls cannot be chipped. Miss your section's date and a paid pickup goes on your utility bill.

Rule 04

Fire-damaged belongings are refused at the Murray Transfer Station

After a house fire, cleanup debris needs a plan beyond the usual drop-off. The city-run transfer station, which handles solid waste for all of Calloway County, lists burnt items among the materials it will not accept, alongside whole tires and batteries.

Rule 05

Renovation dumpsters inside city limits come through Murray Sanitation

City ordinance requires Murray to provide solid waste collection to every entity within the city limits and prohibits private collectors from operating there. For remodel debris, the Sanitation Department offers construction roll-off containers measuring from 20 to 30 cubic yards.

Rule 06

Leftover paint and chemicals count as rejected liquids at drop-off

Garage and basement cleanouts often turn up half-used cans. The Murray Transfer Station lists liquids, including paint and chemicals, among the materials it refuses, along with hazardous waste, so sort those cans out before a load is weighed in.

Not safely. Large piles of junk left out without an arrangement can be treated as illegal dumping, and the rules on bulk items vary. Check with the City of Murray sanitation department about what regular collection covers before putting anything out.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Murray starts at $85 for a single item, 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 charge, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

Sometimes. Availability depends on the schedule in your area that day. Enter your address during booking to see the open time slots, including same-day or next-day windows when they exist. For outdoor pickups, you don't need to be home.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Leave the items out and add access notes at booking. For items inside a home, apartment, or dorm, someone should be there or you can leave clear access instructions. Your Loader contacts you before arriving.

Hazardous materials such as paint, chemicals, and batteries usually need special handling, and very large or bulky items often exceed what regular household collection accepts. Ask the City of Murray or Calloway County about current limits before setting anything out.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill. Whenever possible, they take good furniture and household goods to local donation partners and send recyclables to appropriate facilities, depending on acceptance. Anything that can't be reused or recycled is disposed of properly.

You choose your items online, pick a time window, and see your total price before confirming. On pickup day, your Loader calls ahead, confirms the items, removes them, and cleans up the spot. There is no in-person estimate needed first.

The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers often price by truckload and may give an estimate on site. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For large cleanouts, a truckload hauler can sometimes be the better fit.
