Junk has a way of piling up until it becomes one more chore you keep putting off. Book a LoadUp pickup and let it be hauled away, no drive into Albuquerque required.
You search for options, call the county, leave messages with a few haulers, and wait. One calls back with a vague estimate, another never does. Weeks pass, and the pile in the shed is still there.
City bulk pickup programs can work well where they exist, but availability varies a lot for unincorporated areas like this one. Even when a program is available, it usually means booking ahead, dragging everything to the road yourself, and finding out that some items aren't accepted.
A lot of haulers want to come out and look before they'll give you a number, and that number usually depends on how much of the truck your stuff fills. You often don't know the final cost until the job is done and someone is standing in your driveway.
Donation centers want clean, working, resellable goods, and that's fair. A worn recliner, a scratched-up entertainment center, or anything that's been in a dusty outbuilding for years often gets turned away. Then you still have to haul it home or find somewhere else for it.
For a garage cleanout or a single room, a roll-off container is more than you need. You have to schedule the drop-off and pickup, find a level spot on your lot for it, and then do all the heavy lifting and loading yourself.

Curbside fits when the load is already outdoors, like cleared brush or old fence rails stacked near where your Loader can park. Choose full-service when items are still in a basement, a crowded garage, or a back room, and your Loaders will carry everything out for you.

Wrestling a dead chest freezer out of the shed, then white-knuckling it down I-40 through Tijeras Canyon, is a lot to ask of a Saturday. Your Loaders handle the lifting, carry it across the gravel, and load up. LoadUp and your Loaders genuinely like showing up for neighbors who already keep this place running.
Bulky items pile up fast on larger lots and in sheds, which is why where they end up matters in Sandia Knolls. Your Loader sorts each load by condition, so donation, recycling, or disposal fits what you have.
Furniture, tools, and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader sets those items aside during loading so usable pieces have a chance at a second home.
Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for donation may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates materials like scrap metal and old appliances when possible, instead of sending everything to one pile.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or broken-down bulky items are taken to an appropriate disposal site, such as a transfer station or landfill serving the area, so you never have to haul that load yourself.
Showing up with a mixed, uncovered load can mean extra charges and rejected items, so here is how disposal actually works for Sandia Knolls residents in Bernalillo County.
Clearing brush and dead trees to reduce wildfire fuel around East Mountain homes produces bulky debris, and the East Mountain Transfer Station accepts trees, trunks, branches, and other vegetative materials as green waste, which the county diverts from the landfill.
Since January 2023, the East Mountain Transfer Station has accepted only #1 and #2 plastics, mostly bottles and jugs, emptied and clean. Plastics labeled #3 through #7, plastic bags, and Styrofoam are rejected because the county found their recycling market unreliable.
Bernalillo County's East Mountain Transfer Station accepts a variety of wood items, such as pallets and old furniture, as part of its green waste stream. The county sorts, recycles, and repurposes this material whenever possible, which keeps it out of the landfill.
Every load arriving at the East Mountain Transfer Station must be covered, or it incurs an additional $5 charge. On windy East Mountain highways, a tarp also keeps loose debris from scattering along the roadside on the way in.
The East Mountain Transfer Station's state solid waste permit from the New Mexico Environment Department covers cardboard recycling. The county recommends sorting recyclables before arrival, so moving boxes should be loaded separately from bagged household trash.
The East Mountain Transfer Station accepts lumber from East Mountain residents as its own material type, apart from household rubbish. Every vehicle must check in before dumping, and all loads must be in the yard by 5 p.m., before posted closing.

(678) 884-4738Not unless it's part of a scheduled service. Sandia Knolls is unincorporated Bernalillo County, so there's no city bulk pickup. Curbside trash customers can call (505) 892-1200 for county yard waste pickup windows, and items left out otherwise risk being treated as illegal dumping.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Sandia Knolls starts at $85, with $5 off for curbside or outdoor pickup. The first item includes the base pickup fee and each additional item is a flat add-on, with the exact total confirmed before booking. Self-hauling to the East Mountain Transfer Station costs about $5 per cubic yard.
Often, yes. Same-day or next-day pickup is offered when you book before 12pm, depending on Loader availability for your address. Enter your address during booking to see open times. Pickups can be curbside or from inside your home or garage.
The East Mountain Transfer Station at 711 Highway 333 is the closest county option, open 7 days a week, 7 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. Loads must be covered or add $5. Appliances run $3 each, mattresses $2, tires $1, and e-waste is free.
Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating them when charities will accept them. They try to recycle metal, cardboard, and e-waste whenever possible. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility.
You book online by choosing your items, entering your Sandia Knolls address, and picking a time. The price is confirmed before you book. On pickup day, Loaders carry the junk out and load it, so you don't have to lift anything.
Hauling it yourself is cheaper if you have a truck, a covered load, and time. The East Mountain Transfer Station charges about $5 per cubic yard for household waste. A hired service makes more sense for heavy, bulky, or many items, or when the drive from the East Mountains isn't practical.
The main difference is pricing and booking. 1-800-GOT-JUNK prices multiple items by the share of truck space used, with single-item pricing for lone items. LoadUp prices per item online, so your total is confirmed before booking and nothing is estimated on-site.
