The Problem

Getting junk out of a Nashville home is harder than it looks

You search for options, call Metro, and request a few hauler quotes. One calls back, one wants to come look first, and one never answers. Weeks go by and the junk is still in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Metro's bulk pickup can work well if you can wait. You request it ahead of time, the rules depend on your address, and it won't take everything. You also still have to drag every heavy piece out to the street yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers won't give you a number until someone comes out to look. Then the price depends on how much of the truck they think you'll fill, so the quote can change once the loading starts, and you never really know the total ahead of time.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and reuse groups need things they can actually resell, so stains, tears, and missing parts usually mean a no. They also turn down plenty of categories outright, and you still have to load and drive everything there yourself.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container means booking delivery and pickup, maybe getting a permit if it sits on the street, and losing your driveway for days. On a narrow infill lot or a tight older street, the neighbors notice. It's a lot of hassle for one room of junk.

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.

  • 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.

Loaders you can trust inside your Nashville home

A high-rise can mean a reserved freight elevator and a short loading dock window, so your Loader plans the carry around both. Loaders are background-checked and rated by real locals in Nashville after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Leave it outside or have it carried from inside

If the old recliner is already at the end of your driveway or next to a garage that faces the alley, curbside keeps things simple. Full-service is the better fit when the load is at the top of the steep interior stairs in a tall, narrow infill home, since your Loaders handle every flight.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Nashville, inside the 440 and out past Briley Parkway

Anyone who has crawled through downtown on I-40 on a Friday knows a mattress doesn't belong in that traffic, and a WeGo bus is no place for a dresser. Nashville keeps growing, and the weekend errands keep stacking up. Your Loaders like showing up for the neighbors here, lifting the heavy stuff so your Saturday stays yours.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items rarely end up in the same place, and in Nashville where a couch or old dresser goes depends on its condition. Your Loader sorts each piece toward donation, recycling, or disposal when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, housewares, and other items in clean, usable shape may be set aside for donation when possible and local options allow. Your Loader carries them out separately so they stay in good condition.

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

Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but not ready for reuse, like metal frames or some appliances and electronics, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them from the general load when possible.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, such as a water-damaged sofa or a broken mattress, go to responsible disposal. Your Loader hauls them out of Nashville homes and buildings and takes them to an appropriate local facility.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Nashville disposal rules most residents don't know

Set out the wrong item and it simply stays at the curb, so these Nashville and Davidson County rules decide where each piece of a cleanout actually goes.

Rule 01

Eviction cleanouts are excluded from curbside bulk removal

Nashville's curbside bulk removal option, staffed through Correctional Services, cannot by law remove items from a location that resulted from an eviction. Landlords and property managers clearing a unit after an eviction need a different disposal route.

Rule 02

Glass bottles and jars stay out of curbside recycling

Metro's curbside recycling carts do not accept glass, a long-standing Nashville rule that surprises many newcomers. Glass from a kitchen, pantry, or home bar cleanout belongs at a glass drop-off site or a Convenience Center instead.

Rule 03

Mattresses and box springs are capped at four monthly

Metro Convenience Centers accept any combination of up to four mattresses and box springs per resident each month. Clearing out a house with several beds, or a bunk room plus guest rooms, can mean spreading drop-offs across more than one month.

Rule 04

Apartment and condo residents must stage items at the entrance

Nashville's curbside bulk removal program cannot go onto private property such as apartment or condominium complexes. For residents of those communities, items only qualify for pickup when they are placed at the main street entrance to the property.

Rule 05

Old refrigerators count as scrap metal, not trash

Refrigerators, washers and dryers, dishwashers, and ovens and ranges are on Nashville's scrap metal list. Residents can drop off one bulk scrap metal item, or up to three trash bags of scrap metal, at no charge, routing aging appliances to recycling.

Rule 06

Pull the rims before bringing old tires in

Metro Convenience Centers take up to four tires per month at no charge. The allowance is written for tires without rims, so having them dismounted beforehand keeps a garage or carport cleanout within what the city accepts free.

Not without a scheduled pickup. The Davidson County Sheriff's Office runs a bulk item program for loose items, and Metro's solid waste policy allows fines up to $50 per day for violations. Bagged trash, paint, tires and glass are not accepted.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Nashville starts at $80, with $5 off for curbside or driveway pickup. The first item includes the base pickup fee and each additional item is a flat add-on, with the total confirmed before booking. Truck-based haulers here often run $150-$350.

Often yes, depending on the schedule in your zip code. Enter your address during booking to see live availability. For curbside pickups you generally don't need to be home. For indoor pickups, someone should be there or you can leave access instructions.

Metro's East and Ezell Pike Convenience Centers take household hazardous waste free, up to 15 gallons or 100 pounds a month, covering paint, bleach and batteries. The Sheriff's curbside program skips paint cans, chemicals, tires and glass, so those need separate handling.

Yes, for small loads. Metro's Convenience Centers let residents bring any three items, such as bagged trash or a couch, once a day at no cost. You do the loading and driving yourself. A hauler makes more sense for heavy, bulky or larger jobs.

Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on what facilities accept. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to the appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition and acceptance.

Pricing model. 1-800-GOT-JUNK mainly prices by truck space, with some single-item starting prices published in select zip codes. LoadUp prices per item online, and the total is confirmed before booking. For full-house cleanouts, a truck-based crew may fit better.
