When junk keeps piling up, it stops being a small chore fast. Book LoadUp in North Decatur for a quick pickup, see your price before you commit, and get your space back.
You search online, call the county, and request a few hauler quotes. One sends a vague range, another never calls back. Two weekends later, the junk is still sitting in your garage, waiting on a plan.
Unincorporated DeKalb County runs its own bulk pickup, and you usually have to request it ahead of time. Pickups can be limited by item type, quantity, or wait time, and you still have to drag everything to the curb yourself. That rarely works for a basement cleanout.
Many haulers want to come see the job before they give you a number, and then they quote by fractions of a truckload you can't really picture. The final price can change once loading starts, so you won't know the real cost until the truck is already full.
Thrift stores and charities have to be careful about what they accept. Stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken furniture often get turned away, and some places won't send a truck at all. You end up loading things yourself only to bring half of them home again.
A roll-off container needs a delivery window, room on your driveway, and sometimes a permit if it ends up on the street. It can sit for days while neighbors toss their own junk in, and you're still the one carrying every heavy piece out to it.

If the old recliner or bagged brush is already waiting at the end of your driveway, curbside pickup keeps the visit quick. For a packed carport, a crowded basement, or furniture still inside an older brick ranch, full-service means your Loaders carry everything out for you.

Anyone who has tried to cross the Emory area at rush hour knows that strapping an old mattress to the roof for a trip to the transfer station is a bad plan. Your Loader does the lifting and loading instead, and honestly, we love showing up for neighbors who just want their weekend back.
Moving bulky items out of a North Decatur home is only half the job, because where they end up matters too. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring donation or recycling when local options allow.
Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader sets those items aside for that path, though donation is never guaranteed and depends on availability.
Items that are worn or damaged but still have usable materials, like metal frames or some electronics, may be recycled where available. Acceptance depends on item condition and what nearby facilities currently take.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or broken bulky items that can't be donated or recycled go to an appropriate disposal site. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, so you never haul anything to a transfer station.
Use an unapproved container or set out an overflow bag and it won't be collected. Here's what applies to North Decatur households in unincorporated DeKalb County.
DeKalb accepts all cardboard in curbside recycling, but only up to 10 flattened boxes at a time, and unflattened boxes are not serviced. A big move or delivery-heavy cleanout can easily exceed that, so spreading boxes across collection weeks helps.
County rules bar hazardous materials, including batteries, from garbage carts, and liquids of any kind are prohibited too. For paint and chemicals, household hazardous waste, motor oil and batteries, the county points residents to CHaRM, the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials.
DeKalb County Solid Waste Management will not collect yard trimmings in plastic bags. Use durable 20 to 40 gallon metal or plastic containers or biodegradable paper bags with two handles, and fold paper bag tops so Georgia rain doesn't break them down.
Large appliances can't go in the garbage cart and must be scheduled as a bulky item. The county has also periodically offered free bulky item curbside pickup events, including its SWEEP cleanup program, with dates assigned by each household's regular garbage day.
Electronics cause contamination in curbside recycling, so the county routes them elsewhere. Its e-recycling options include a drop-off at the Seminole Road Landfill and a Best Buy partnership, with TVs, computers, and phones accepted.
Construction materials, including dirt, concrete, bricks, and rocks, are banned from the county's 95-gallon garbage carts. Residents can instead schedule them through the county's bulky item and special collection service, which also covers materials like fencing.
