Area Rug Removal

That old rug has overstayed its welcome

Worn out, faded, or just wrong for the new look you're going for — an old area rug is awkward to roll, dusty to move, and too bulky to deal with alone. Book a pickup and it's gone.

Why LoadUp

Rug removal that actually works for you

City bulk pickup makes you wait. Doing it yourself means wrestling a dusty, heavy roll out the door. LoadUp gets it done on your schedule, handled by real people.

  • Price locked before you commit

    See your exact price before you book — no surprise fees added at pickup, no matter the rug size or condition.

  • Same-day availability

    Need it gone today? Same-day pickup is available when you book before noon, so you're not stuck waiting on a bulk collection day.

  • In-home, not just curbside

    Your Loaders pick up from any room in your home — bedroom, living room, upstairs hallway, or garage. No dragging it to the curb first.

  • Donation & recycling first

    When a rug is in usable condition and local options allow, your Loaders will route it to donation or recycling instead of the landfill.

What to Expect

Full-service removal breakdown

Area Rug disposal service details

Pricing for area rug pickup is based on the size and quantity of rugs being removed. A single small accent rug and an oversized living room rug are priced differently, and your upfront quote reflects that before you confirm anything. Access factors like an upper floor or a tight stairwell may also apply.

You do not need to roll or move the rug before your Loaders arrive. Leave it flat or loosely folded and they will handle the rest.

Rug types accepted for pickup

Most loose area rugs are accepted regardless of size, material, or condition.

  • Wool area rug
  • Synthetic area rug
  • Jute or sisal rug
  • Shag rug
  • Flatweave rug
  • Oversized area rug
  • Runner rug
  • Pet-stained or water-damaged rug
  • Outdoor area rug

Options & add-ons (clearly priced)

Your booking total is transparent from the start. Optional adjustments like upper-floor access or adding extra rugs or items to the same pickup are clearly shown during checkout so your final price is accurate and surprise-free when your Loaders arrive.

Volume discounts

The more you remove, the more you save. Discounts apply in real time as items are added.

Flights of stairs

Stairs add time and labor, which is factored in upfront to keep pricing fair for everyone.

Item disassembly

For items that need to be taken apart, add disassembly to your booking during checkout.

Donation drop-off

Choose whether eligible items should be donated when possible during checkout.

Sustainability efforts

Your Loaders prioritize donation or recycling for area rugs whenever local options are available and the rug is in usable condition. Rugs that are heavily soiled, moldy, or in poor shape may go to a disposal facility depending on what is available in your area.

Area rug pickup typically starts around $80, though your final price depends on the size and number of rugs, whether you choose curbside or in-home pickup, and any access factors like an upper floor or tight stairwell. You see the exact price before you confirm, so there are no surprises when your Loaders arrive.

No preparation is needed on your end. You can leave the rug flat on the floor and your Loaders will roll it up, lift it, and carry it out. If the rug is very large or heavy, they will fold or roll it in whatever way makes it easiest to move safely.

Yes. If you book in-home pickup, your Loaders will come inside and take the rug from wherever it is, including an upstairs bedroom, a hallway, or a basement. Someone needs to be home to provide access when you book in-home pickup. If you book curbside, you would move the rug outside yourself and you do not need to be present during pickup.

This service covers loose area rugs only. Your Loaders do not remove wall-to-wall carpet, carpet tiles, or any padding that is tacked or glued to the floor. If what you have is a loose rug that sits on top of the floor, it qualifies for pickup.

Yes, your Loaders will pick up rugs in most conditions, including those with pet stains, water damage, or heavy soiling. Rugs in that kind of condition typically cannot be donated, so they are more likely to go to a disposal facility, but your Loaders make that call based on what is available locally.

When a rug is in usable condition and local donation or recycling options are available, your Loaders will route it there instead of sending it to the landfill. Heavily soiled or damaged rugs often cannot be donated and will go to a disposal facility. No donation receipt or documentation is provided.
