Junk piles up quietly until it starts taking over the room. Booking a pickup around Shelby takes a couple of minutes, with a real price upfront and the whole load gone.
You start with the township trash rules, move on to a county drop-off page, then call a few haulers. One wants to see it in person, two never call back, and two weekends later the junk hasn't moved.
The township's contracted hauler takes a limited number of bulk items at the curb, and no phone call is required. That only helps if you can get them up the basement stairs and out to the street yourself. Electronics and restricted items stay behind.
Most haulers price by how much of the truck you fill, a number you cannot estimate from your own garage. So you book a window for someone to come look, take time off work, and still hear a different figure on pickup day.
Charities resell what they accept, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and dated appliances get turned away at the door. What any location takes also shifts with the season and their floor space, so half a basement comes back up the driveway with you.
A roll-off container means permit questions, a delivery window, and a steel box parked in your driveway for days while you do all the lifting. For one room or one garage corner, you are renting volume you will never fill, in full view of the subdivision.

Most companies charge by truck space, and the price often changes on arrival. LoadUp charges by item, based on exactly what you're removing.

If the items are already sitting at the end of a wide subdivision driveway or out by the curb, curbside service covers it without anyone entering your home. Full service makes sense when the couch is still downstairs, the treadmill is behind a garage door, or a narrow stairwell turn stands between the load and the truck.

Anyone who has tried a Saturday dump run knows the drill: Hall Road backed up, a recliner strapped to the roof, and the whole afternoon gone. Then winter shows up and nobody wants a loveseat sitting in the snow. Your Loaders do the carrying, and they like showing up for neighbors here.
Most Shelby Township cleanouts mix usable furniture with worn-out bulk the township's trash contract will not take. Where an item ends up depends on its condition, so your Loaders sort as they load, not after.
Items in clean, working shape may be offered to local resale or charitable outlets when possible, though acceptance depends on condition and what those groups are taking that week. No receipt is provided.
Broken pieces still holding metal, cardboard, or usable material can go toward recycling where available. Appliances with refrigerant and electronics follow separate Michigan handling paths, so outcomes vary by item.
Water-damaged sectionals, collapsed box springs, and basement remodel debris typically head to a licensed Macomb County area transfer station or landfill, handled under the same rules any Shelby Township resident would follow.
Setting out the wrong load can turn a cleanout into a misdemeanor citation in Michigan, so these Shelby Township and Macomb County rules are worth knowing first.
The township's hauling contract allows a maximum of five bulk items at the curb each week, placed out by 7 a.m. A couch, a dresser, or a mattress and box spring each count as a single item.
Shelby Township asks residents to remove the doors and racks from refrigerators and freezers before setting them out, a long standing child safety step. The waste hauler, not the resident, handles Freon removal under current environmental standards.
Macomb County's household hazardous waste collection cannot accept computers, televisions, or other electronic devices, and they are not bulk pickup items either. Residents rely on periodic community e-waste events and certified recyclers that recover lead and mercury safely.
Part 115 of Michigan's environmental act keeps leaves, grass, and small trimmings out of landfills to preserve capacity and encourage composting, which is why the township runs a separate seasonal program. Dirt, sod, stumps, rocks, and concrete do not qualify.
Construction and demolition material is regulated solid waste in Michigan and must reach a properly licensed disposal area rather than the curb. Most renovation work in Shelby Township also needs a building permit, valid for an initial 180 days.
Michigan's littering law treats dumping three cubic feet or more of waste as a misdemeanor, with a penal fine up to $2,500 for a first offense and up to $5,000 once the pile reaches five cubic yards.

(678) 884-4738Yes. Priority Waste, the township's hauler, collects up to five bulk items per week at no extra charge. Set them at the curb by 7 a.m. on your regular pickup day, and no advance call is needed. For more than five items or a faster scheduled haul, LoadUp loaders handle the lifting.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Shelby Township starts at $80, and curbside or driveway pickups take $5 off. The first item covers the base pickup fee, then each additional item is a flat add-on, with your total confirmed before you book. Priority Waste already includes up to five curbside bulk items in the quarterly $62.19 trash bill.
Same-day service is often open across Macomb County when you book early in the day, and next-day is widely available. Enter your Shelby Township zip code during booking to see live availability for your street before you lock in a time.
Priority Waste caps curbside bulk at five items a week, and refrigerators or freezers need doors and racks removed first, with the hauler handling the Freon. Paint, batteries, and chemicals go to the annual Household Hazardous Waste day at River Bends Park, 5700 Van Dyke, held the last Saturday in April. LoadUp can take larger loads on your own schedule.
Loaders sort loads and aim to keep usable items out of the landfill whenever possible. Furniture and household goods may go to local charities like Habitat for Humanity ReStore or the Salvation Army, metal and electronics route to recyclers when options allow, and only what's left heads to disposal.
Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Just leave the junk accessible and add access notes at booking. For inside removals, someone should be present or provide entry instructions. Your loader typically calls about 30 minutes before arriving so you know when to expect them.
Mainly pricing and booking. 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King price by how much truck space you fill and usually quote on arrival, so your cost isn't set until the crew is in your driveway. LoadUp prices per item online and locks it in before anyone shows up in Shelby Township.
