Marietta's curbside bulk pickup has limits most residents discover the hard way — certain items get rejected, schedules fill up, and that pile in the garage keeps growing. This page breaks down every option for getting rid of junk in Cobb County.
Most Marietta residents end up googling, calling, getting quoted, and often ghosted. A week later the junk is still sitting there. The options exist. They just don't work together.
Marietta's city pickup program takes furniture and bagged junk curbside, but service can run several days out and typically excludes mattresses, Freon appliances, and construction debris. If your item doesn't qualify, you find out after the truck doesn't take it.
In-person estimates. Truck-load pricing. Final bills 30% above the quote. The hauler model is built for the hauler, not for someone with one couch and a Tuesday.
Local donation centers do amazing work: clean, current, fully-functional items only. Nobody's taking your 2009 sectional with the cat damage.
Permits, scheduling, neighbor side-eye. Dumpsters make sense for renovations, not for clearing out a basement on a Saturday afternoon.

No in-person charges
Most companies charge by truck space, and the price often changes on arrival. LoadUp charges by item, based on exactly what you're removing.
Cobb County's bulk pickup program handles some items on a scheduled basis, but electronics, construction debris, and anything requiring disassembly tend to fall outside its scope. LoadUp picks up where the county leaves off — same-day or next-day, with upfront pricing.

Loaders prioritize Goodwill, Furniture Bank, and Habitat ReStore over local landfills. Every removal plants a tree.

LoadUp proudly serves Marietta with local Loaders who know the area and show up ready to help. Wherever you are in the city, we help residents reclaim their space with same-day pickup.
Most junk hauled from Marietta homes still has some life in it. LoadUp routes each load based on condition — usable items go to donation, salvageable materials head to recycling, and only what is truly spent goes to a licensed disposal facility in Cobb County.
Items in good, clean condition are routed to local charity resale partners serving the metro Atlanta area, including Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity ReStore locations in Cobb County. Donation receipts are available by request.
Damaged items that cannot be donated are broken down for material recovery. Metals, wood, and textiles are separated and sent to certified recycling facilities in the greater Atlanta region.
Heavily damaged or contaminated items are taken to licensed transfer stations and disposed of in full compliance with Cobb County and Georgia regulations. No illegal dumping, no shortcuts.
Miss one of these and your junk ends up sitting at the curb with a rejection sticker, or worse, you're looking at a fine. Here is what actually applies in Marietta.
Cobb County does not allow residents to simply leave large items at the curb on regular trash day. You need to call and schedule a bulk pickup in advance, and slots can fill up during busy seasons like spring and summer.
TVs, monitors, and computers are banned from standard waste collection. Georgia encourages e-waste recycling, and Cobb County periodically hosts collection events, but day-to-day disposal of electronics requires a separate plan.
Refrigerators, window AC units, and dehumidifiers contain refrigerants regulated by the EPA. Cobb County will not pick these up curbside. A certified technician must recover the Freon before any appliance can be legally disposed of.
Renovation leftovers — drywall, lumber, tile, old cabinets — are not accepted through the county's residential bulk pickup. Homeowners in Marietta need a private hauler or a rented dumpster to handle construction and demolition waste.
Mattresses are often excluded from standard bulk pickup due to bedbugs and disposal difficulty. In Cobb County, mattresses typically need to be wrapped in plastic before any hauler will accept them, and many donation centers refuse them outright.
Cobb County collects yard debris on a separate schedule from household junk. Mixing branches, leaves, or grass clippings with furniture or appliances at the curb can result in the entire pile being skipped on collection day.

(678) 884-4738Not without a scheduled pickup. Cobb County offers bulk waste collection, but items must be arranged in advance through your hauler — placing junk curbside without an appointment can result in a code enforcement citation. Marietta takes illegal dumping seriously, especially in historic areas like Downtown Marietta and the Square.
Through LoadUp, single-item pickups typically start around $69-$150 depending on size and weight. Full cleanouts for garages or rental turnovers start around $349. Traditional truckload haulers in the Cobb County area usually quote $200-$500 for a comparable residential load. Cobb County curbside bulk pickup may be included in your waste service at no extra charge for eligible items.
Yes — LoadUp offers same-day availability in most Marietta zip codes when you book before noon. Next-day service is available across the broader Cobb County area. Enter your address during booking to confirm live availability for neighborhoods like Whitlock, Fair Oaks, or Franklin Gateway.
Yes, but appliances containing refrigerant require certified Freon recovery before disposal — it's a federal requirement. LoadUp handles the refrigerant removal as part of the pickup, no tag needed on your end. If you go through Cobb County bulk pickup, you'll likely need to confirm the unit has been properly drained first.
LoadUp loaders sort items on-site whenever possible. Furniture and household goods in decent shape are routed to local donation centers, including Habitat for Humanity ReStore locations in the metro Atlanta area. Electronics go to certified e-waste processors. Materials like metal and cardboard are recycled. Only what can't be reused or recycled goes to a disposal facility.
For curbside jobs, no — just leave items in an accessible spot and add notes during booking. For in-home or garage cleanouts, someone should be present or you can provide entry instructions ahead of time. Your LoadUp driver calls about 30 minutes before arriving so you're not stuck waiting around all day.
The biggest difference is pricing transparency. 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King charge by truckload and require an on-site estimate, so you don't know your final price until the crew arrives. LoadUp prices per item online with a locked quote before anyone shows up. For one- or two-item jobs common in Marietta, that model usually saves $30-$100.
Go to the LoadUp site, enter your Marietta address, select the items you need removed, and get an instant price. Choose your preferred date — same-day, next-day, or a future slot. You'll get a confirmed window and a call from your loader roughly 30 minutes before arrival. No in-person estimate required.
