The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Smithers takes more than it should

You search online, call the town office, then the county, and leave messages with a couple of haulers. One calls back, maybe. Weeks go by, and the junk is still sitting on the porch where you left it.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Municipal pickup schedules can help, but small-town programs often limit what goes out, need a call ahead, and run on their own calendar. Appliances, tires, and paint are often turned away, and nobody carries anything down a hillside yard for you.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come look before they give you a number, then price by how much of the truck you fill. You won't know the final cost until the work is done, and some of them never show up for the estimate.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities can only take what they can resell, so stained, broken, or worn items get turned down. You still have to load and drive everything there yourself, and whatever they refuse comes back home with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off dumpster makes sense for a full renovation, not one cluttered room. You have to schedule delivery and pickup, find level ground on a narrow or sloped lot, and leave a big steel box blocking the street or the driveway for days.

Background-checked Loaders who show up ready to work

Your Loader can carry a dresser down narrow basement steps or across a steep hillside yard to the truck. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Smithers after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it out front or leave it where it sits

Curbside, or outdoor, pickup is a good fit when you can get items to the street or the bottom of the driveway yourself, though on a steep lot or a tight drive, that walk down can be the hardest part. If you have a chest freezer in the basement of an older house or a porch full of worn-out furniture, choose full-service so your Loaders carry everything out from where it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Smithers, on both sides of the Fayette and Kanawha County line

Hauling a dead chest freezer up a steep yard, then along U.S. Route 60 to a drop-off, is no way to spend a Saturday. Your Loaders handle the lifting, carrying, and loading instead. Smithers neighbors still look out for each other, and your Loaders are glad to show up for you.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast in a small river town like Smithers, and where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring donation or recycling when local options allow, and disposal only when needed.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Clean, usable furniture and household goods may be donated when possible and when local options allow. Your Loader can set these items aside, though acceptance varies by organization and some items may not be taken.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for donation may be recycled where available, such as scrap metal or wood. Your Loader handles the lifting, and acceptance varies for appliances and electronics.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soaked, or contaminated bulky items, like a collapsed sofa or a ruined mattress, go to disposal. Your Loader loads them out of Smithers, and some special-handling items may not be accepted.

  • No logistics or transport to handle
  • No sorting or drop-off required on your end
  • Local disposal fees covered

Local Disposal Rules

The Smithers disposal rules most residents don't know

Disposing of junk the wrong way in West Virginia can lead to a litter citation or a violation of the state's mandatory disposal law. These rules apply to cleanouts in Smithers and across Fayette County.

Rule 01

Spring and fall fire seasons limit when you can burn brush

During West Virginia's fire seasons, March 1 through May 31 and October 1 through December 31, you can burn brush and yard debris outdoors only between 5 p.m. and 7 a.m. Someone must stay with the fire, and the ground around it must be cleared.

Rule 02

Car batteries go back to retailers, not the trash

West Virginia doesn't allow lead-acid batteries, like those from cars, mowers, and boats, in household garbage or landfills. Stores that sell these batteries have to accept used ones, so returning them to a store is an easy, legal way to get them out of a garage.

Rule 03

Every household must be able to show where its trash goes

Under West Virginia's mandatory disposal law, residents must either pay for a certificated garbage collection service or show proof that they disposed of their trash properly. If you haul a cleanout yourself, keep your landfill receipts in case the county solid waste authority asks for them.

Rule 04

Refrigerant must be removed before old fridges are scrapped

Federal Clean Air Act rules apply across West Virginia. They require the refrigerant in refrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners, and dehumidifiers to be recovered before the appliance is finally disposed of. Scrap yards may ask for proof it was removed, and venting refrigerant on purpose is illegal.

Rule 05

Dumping penalties under state litter law grow with the load

West Virginia's litter law sets penalties based on the weight or volume of what is dumped, and courts can add community service picking up litter. Bigger loads, like a dumped couch or a pile of remodeling debris, fall into the more serious penalty levels.

Rule 06

Whole tires are kept out of West Virginia landfills

State rules keep whole tires out of ordinary landfill disposal. Stockpiled tires hold rainwater and are a fire risk. The state DEP's REAP program holds free tire collection events in counties from time to time, which gives residents a legal way to get rid of old tires.

Not unless it is part of a scheduled collection. Piles left out on roadsides or vacant lots can count as illegal dumping under West Virginia law and can bring fines. Check with your trash hauler or the Fayette County Solid Waste Authority for current bulk rules.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Smithers starts at $80 for a single item, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on charge, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

Sometimes. Availability depends on Loader schedules near the Upper Kanawha Valley, and rural areas along Route 60 may have fewer open slots. Enter your address during booking to see the live times for your location, including next-day options.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Items can be left outside with access notes. For items inside your home, someone should be there, or you can leave access instructions when booking. Your Loader typically gives notice before arriving.

Hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, and fuel are generally not allowed in household trash or most hauler pickups. Large or bulky loads, such as old furniture or construction debris, often need a scheduled bulk pickup or a transfer site. Confirm accepted items with your local provider.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance at nearby facilities. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to an appropriate disposal site. Outcomes vary by item condition and what local partners will take.

You choose your items online, see the price, and pick a time window. The total is confirmed before booking. On pickup day, a Loader arrives, removes the items from where you've indicated, and handles the loading and hauling for you.

The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers usually charge by truckload and may confirm the price at an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online, so you see the total before anyone arrives. For large cleanouts, a truckload hauler can make sense.
