The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Bettendorf takes more than it should

You look up the city's rules, call to ask what qualifies, request a few hauler quotes, and wait on callbacks that never come. Weeks go by, and the pile in the garage hasn't moved an inch.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs can handle some large items, but they usually come with limits on what qualifies, how much you can set out, and when collection happens. You still have to drag everything to the curb yourself, and some items may need separate arrangements.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before quoting, then price by how much of the truck you fill. That leaves you guessing until the load is on board, and the final number can look very different from what you expected.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers have to be selective, so worn upholstery, stained mattresses, or anything missing parts often gets turned away. Even items they'd accept usually have to be dropped off by you, which means loading heavy pieces into your own vehicle first.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A rented dumpster means a rental window, a driveway spot, and possibly a permit if it lands on the street. For a single room of furniture or a one-time cleanout, it's a big metal box that takes up space your neighbors will notice for days.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Bettendorf, from the I-74 bridge to the I-80 corridor

Fitting an old sectional into a minivan between soccer practice and a Saturday full of errands is a plan that rarely survives the driveway. Your Loader carries it out, loads it up, and hauls it away. Bettendorf families already juggle plenty, and LoadUp and your Loaders genuinely enjoy showing up for you.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Most of what leaves a Bettendorf home is bulky, and where it ends up depends on its condition. Your Loader sorts each item toward donation, recycling, or disposal when local options allow, keeping what can be reused out of the landfill.

Local Disposal Rules

The Bettendorf disposal rules most residents don't know

Set out the wrong item or prepare it incorrectly and it simply stays at the curb, uncollected. These rules apply to residents in Bettendorf and across Scott County.

Rule 01

Boxes stuffed with trash don't count as bulky waste

Bettendorf's ordinance says cardboard boxes or containers holding refuse are not bulky waste and will not be collected. Empty cardboard must be broken down to fit inside the city recycling cart, and bulky waste day cannot absorb overflow household garbage.

Rule 02

Tree service debris and stumps stay off city collection

Bettendorf collects properly bundled brush at no charge, but tree debris and stumps from a tree service contractor's removal must be removed privately at the owner's or tree service's expense. After the July 2024 storms, the city temporarily waived yard waste stickers.

Rule 03

Refrigerators and freezers must be emptied before landfill drop-off

Bettendorf's bulky waste collection includes white goods. Residents who self-haul can take refrigerators, freezers, ACs, and dehumidifiers to the Scott Area Landfill for recycling at a per-unit fee, but refrigerators and freezers must be emptied first.

Rule 04

Eviction and foreclosure cleanouts are excluded from city pickup

Bettendorf's ordinance states that items resulting from an eviction, set-out, or foreclosure will not be collected by the city, even on bulky waste day. Bulky waste service is limited to residential premises, so non-residential properties must take waste to a permitted disposal site.

Rule 05

Old hard drives are wiped before electronics get reused

Scott and Rock Island County residents can drop off computers, screens, televisions, cell phones, printers, and stereos at the Waste Commission's Electronics Recovery Center free, with no appointment. All data on hard drives slated for reuse is destroyed, then independently verified.

Rule 06

Clean shingle loads cost less at the Scott Area Landfill

Roofing tear-offs kept free of other debris qualify for the landfill's reduced-fee asphalt shingle recycling. Every load must be tarped or tied down, anyone unloading at the working face needs a Hi-Vis safety vest, and waste from elsewhere in Iowa requires prior approval.

Only on your bulky waste day. Bettendorf lets residents set out bulky items every other week on their recycling day, by 7:00 a.m., with an arm's length of space from carts. Bagged items need a $3.00 sticker. Items left out at other times risk being treated as illegal dumping.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Bettendorf starts at $85, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. Your exact total is confirmed before booking.

Often, yes. Same-day and next-day slots are offered in Bettendorf when availability allows, and entering your address during booking shows what is open. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access instructions.

Household hazardous materials such as paint, motor oil, and medical sharps are not bulky waste. The city directs residents to drop them off at 5640 Carey Avenue in Davenport. Bulky pickup is also limited to once every other week, so large cleanouts often outgrow it.

Loaders aim to donate or recycle whatever they can, depending on acceptance and condition. Usable furniture and household goods may go to local charities, and recyclable materials are routed to proper facilities when options allow. Items that can't be reused or recycled are disposed of properly.

You book online, choose your item or items, and see the price before confirming. Pick a pickup window, and your Loader will let you know before arriving. On pickup day, the Loader does the lifting and loading from wherever the junk is, so you don't need to move anything.

For a single large item, the free city pickup is often the better deal because bulky waste collection is included in your solid waste fee. A hauler like LoadUp makes sense when you need a specific day, have items to remove from inside the house, or can't wait for your next bulky week.

Mainly pricing and booking. Traditional haulers typically price by truckload and often confirm the total at an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before booking. For one or two items, per-item pricing is often simpler, while large cleanouts may suit truckload pricing.
