Junk has a way of piling up until it's all you notice. Book LoadUp, see your price up front, and get a quick pickup that clears it out for good.
You search online, call to ask about bulk pickup rules and request quotes from a few haulers. One answers, one wants to visit first, and one never calls back. Weeks later, the junk is still sitting there.
City bulk pickup programs can be a solid free option, but they come with rules. You usually have to request a spot or wait for a scheduled window. Some items, like appliances or renovation debris, may be excluded, and you still drag everything out front yourself.
Many haulers want to see your stuff in person before naming a price, so you book a visit just to get a number. Then the quote comes as a fraction of a truckload, and what counts as a quarter or half load can shift once the truck arrives.
Donating usable items is a good instinct, but drop-off sites check condition and often turn away stained upholstery, worn mattresses or anything damaged. Even when they accept something, you still load it, drive it there and unload it. Whatever they reject comes home with you.
A roll-off makes sense for a full renovation, not for clearing one spare room. You may need a permit to put it on the street and have to coordinate delivery and pickup windows. Neighbors watch it sit for days, and you still do all the loading.

Strapping a mattress to the roof and inching down Shelbyville Road in traffic is nobody's idea of a good Saturday. Your Loaders do the lifting, carrying, and loading from your garage, basement, or porch, so the day stays yours. LoadUp and your Loaders genuinely like showing up for the people of St. Matthews.
Bulky items rarely have one right destination, which is why where a piece goes after pickup matters in St. Matthews. Your Loader sorts by condition, so reusable items, recyclable materials, and true trash each get a sensible next step.
Furniture, housewares, and other items in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader loads them separately, though acceptance varies and nothing is guaranteed.
Items that are damaged but still hold recyclable material, like metal frames or some appliances, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them when local options allow, since accepted items change.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, such as a waterlogged sofa or broken carpeting, are loaded by your Loader and taken to an appropriate disposal site, so they leave your St. Matthews property responsibly.
An unwrapped mattress can be refused at the curb and junk set out too early breaks city ordinance, so these rules apply in St. Matthews and Jefferson County.
City ordinance makes it unlawful to set out large items, limbs, or junk more than 24 hours before collection. Anything refused must leave the curb within 24 hours. The city may allow extra time for a properly loaded Bagster-type bag once pickup is requested.
Kentucky law allows waste tire disposal only by transfer to a permitted facility and requires tire transporters and accumulators to register and post a bond. Periodic county collection events through the Energy and Environment Cabinet let individuals drop off tires at no cost.
Old mattresses, box springs, and upholstered furniture qualify for Rumpke's city pickup only when completely wrapped in plastic. Residents get one free large item per week, depending on truck space, requested at least 48 hours before regular collection.
Medications tossed in the trash can poison children or pets or be scavenged for illegal use, and flushing can contaminate groundwater. St. Matthews keeps a prescription drug disposal box at City Hall, and pills should be placed loosely in a sealed plastic bag.
The city leaf program generally begins the first week of November, with signs posted in each area a week before pickup. Rake leaves to the street edge, not into the street, and never cover catch basin drains or fill drainage ditches.
Latex paint is accepted curbside once completely solidified, with the lid removed and the can set outside the trash container. Oil-based or lead paint is different and must go to the Haz Bin, Louisville Metro's free household hazardous drop-off.

Often, depending on Loader availability and when you book. Next-day slots are more common. Entering your address during booking shows live availability for your area. For curbside items you usually don't need to be home, and for in-home pickups you can leave access notes.
Many items fall outside the routine pickup. Bulky items are usually limited to scheduled pickup days or hauler limits, and hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, and batteries are generally excluded. Confirm size and quantity limits with your hauler or Louisville Metro Public Works before setting anything out.
Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance by local charities and recyclers. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition, so nothing is guaranteed.
You book online, choose your item and a pickup window, and see your price before confirming. On pickup day, your Loader arrives in that window, handles the lifting and loading, and takes the junk away. Your total stays what you were quoted at booking.
The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers typically price by truckload, often confirmed after an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online, so you know the total before anyone arrives. For a full-house cleanout, a truckload hauler can be the better fit.
