When junk piles up, it has a way of taking over your whole week. Book LoadUp for a quick pickup and a clear quote upfront, so Niantic's shoreline homes can breathe again.
You search online, call Town Hall, leave voicemails for a few haulers, and wait. One sends a vague quote, another never calls back. Weeks go by, and the junk is still sitting in the garage.
East Lyme's municipal pickup schedules can help, but they usually run on the town's calendar instead of yours. Some items may need advance arrangements or special handling, and you still have to drag everything to the curb yourself. That's hard when a closing date or guest arrival is coming up.
Lots of haulers want to come out for an estimate before they'll quote anything, so that's one more visit to plan around. Then they price by the fraction of the truck, which leaves you guessing until the loading is done. The number you hear on the phone rarely tells you the full story.
Local donation spots do good work, but they need items they can actually resell. A faded wicker set off the porch or a mattress with years of use usually gets turned away. You end up driving a carload over and bringing half of it back home.
A roll-off dumpster makes sense for a gut renovation, not for clearing out one spare room. It can mean permits, delivery windows, and a big steel box blocking a tight driveway for days. On a narrow shoreline street, the neighbors will notice.

No in-person charges
Most companies charge by truck space, and the price often changes on arrival. LoadUp charges by item, based on exactly what you're removing.

Your Loaders ease a dresser down the narrow attic stairs of an older coastal cottage with care. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Niantic after each job.
If your items are already at the end of the driveway or next to the road, curbside (outdoor) pickup is the simple choice. If you have a sleeper sofa in a damp basement or a load stacked deep in a detached garage on a tight shoreline lot, full-service means your Loaders carry it out from inside.

Nobody wants a pickup bed of old cottage furniture crawling through July Saturday traffic while beach parking is already spoken for. Skip the dump run. Your Loaders handle the lifting and loading, and they genuinely like showing up for this village's year-rounders and summer people alike.
Bulky furniture, worn-out mattresses, and cottage leftovers all need a sensible next stop. In Niantic, your Loader sorts each item by condition, so donation or recycling happens when local options allow and the rest is disposed of responsibly.
Furniture, housewares, and equipment in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when possible. Your Loader separates reusable pieces as they load, and availability depends on what local options can accept.
Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for donation, such as scrap metal, old electronics, or mattresses, may be recycled where available. Your Loader sorts them out for recycling when local options allow.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or broken-down bulky items, like waterlogged furniture or crumbling carpet, are disposed of responsibly. Your Loader carries them out of your Niantic property and takes them to an appropriate disposal site.
Skipping the residency permit or mixing materials can mean a wasted trip or higher per-pound charges. These rules apply in Niantic, a village of East Lyme in New London County.
East Lyme charges a per-unit fee for non-recyclable mattresses at the Transfer Station. After a nor'easter or basement flood, a soaked mattress may lose recyclable status, so storing it dry and covered before drop-off can matter.
The Transfer Station is meant for residential use and small quantities. Contractors working for residents must show proof the material came from an East Lyme home, such as a building permit, a signed homeowner note, or job site mail, to receive a day pass.
Residents drop off leaves at the Transfer Station at no charge, and the town also runs curbside leaf pickup each fall. Contractors pay by the pound, and vehicles making multiple trips in one day must weigh in and out.
In a shoreline town where many residents keep small craft, it helps to know the Transfer Station fee schedule lists a separate dismantling charge for large items such as boats, apart from the per-pound rate for bulky waste and demolition materials.
The East Lyme Transfer Station accepts paint at no charge in containers of 5 gallons or less, sealed, not leaking, and in the original can with a readable label. Empty cans are refused, though cans with dried latex paint are accepted.
East Lyme Public Works offers special curbside bulky waste collections during the warmer months, booked in advance through Town Hall with fees tiered by item count. Outside that window, the Transfer Station is the town's drop-off option for large items.

(678) 884-4738Not loose. East Lyme's curbside crews only empty trash cans, and they may skip a can holding yard waste, scrap metal, demolition debris or other bulky waste. Bulky items need a scheduled town bulky waste pickup or a trip to the transfer station.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Niantic starts at $80, and curbside or driveway pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on, with the exact total confirmed before booking.
Yes. The town's Public Works bulky waste pickup is $85 for up to 5 items or $135 for up to 10 items, per the fee schedule effective 7/1/25. Schedule through Town Hall at 860-691-4118 or online. It's often the cheaper choice if you can wait.
Same-day slots are sometimes available depending on Loader schedules in the Niantic area, but it isn't guaranteed. Enter your address when booking to see live availability. For curbside pickups you generally don't need to be home, and you can leave access notes.
Residents can haul their own junk to the transfer station. Bulky waste and demolition material is charged at $0.12 per pound with a $5 minimum, and there is no fee if a resident loads items themselves for a town pickup. Large truck and heavy equipment tires are not accepted.
Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating whenever possible, recycling what local facilities accept, and disposing of the rest properly. Outcomes depend on item condition and what donation centers and recyclers accept, so nothing is guaranteed.
You book online, choose your items and a pickup window, and see the exact price before confirming. On pickup day, Loaders arrive in your window, remove the items from inside or outside your home, and handle the loading and hauling. You don't have to move anything yourself.
The main difference is pricing and booking. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King generally price by truck volume and may confirm the price on site. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking, which can suit smaller jobs.
