When most people hear “LoadUp,” they think of junk removal. That association is well-earned. Since 2014, LoadUp has completed over half a million jobs in more than 18,000 cities across the United States, making it one of the most trusted home services brands in the country.

Beyond junk removal, you can book furniture assembly, moving labor, donation pickup, and flexible hourly labor, all through one platform, with upfront pricing and no surprises.

What Services Does LoadUp Offer?
LoadUp offers five core home services, all bookable online with instant pricing and no hidden fees:
- Junk Removal: Haul away unwanted furniture, appliances, electronics, yard debris, and more from your home or business.
- Donation Pickup: Your pros pick up gently used items and transport them directly to a local donation center or charity, keeping usable goods out of the landfill.
- Product Assembly: Background-checked local pros assemble furniture, exercise equipment, office gear, and more, arriving fully equipped with the tools needed to get it done right.
- Moving Labor: LoadUp connects you with background-checked pros to load and unload rental trucks and moving containers. You drive; your team handles the heavy lifting.
- Hourly Labor: Book skilled, vetted pros by the hour for any physical home task, from garage organization to furniture rearranging and beyond.
The short answer: if it involves physical work in or around your home, LoadUp likely has a service for it.
Junk Removal: The Foundation of Everything We Do
LoadUp built its reputation on junk removal, and it remains the cornerstone of the platform. Whether you have a single beat-up couch or an entire home to clear out, LoadUp handles it efficiently and affordably, with upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’ll pay before anyone shows up.
What LoadUp removes:
- Furniture (sofas, bed frames, dressers, tables, chairs)
- Mattresses and box springs of all sizes
- Appliances (refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, microwaves)
- Electronics (TVs, computers, printers, responsibly recycled)
- Exercise equipment (treadmills, weight benches, home gyms)
- Bulk and oversized items that standard trash services won’t accept
- Yard waste and debris
- Construction and renovation debris
- Full garage, basement, attic, and estate cleanouts
- Office and commercial junk removal
How junk removal works with LoadUp:
Visit our online booking system, enter your zip code, and select the items you need removed. Pricing updates in real time as you add items, so you have a confirmed total before you commit. On the day of your pickup, your Loader team arrives, carries everything out from wherever it is on your property, and hauls it all away. You don’t need to move anything to the curb first.
After pickup, your team sort items for donation, recycling, or responsible disposal. Items in good condition are prioritized for local charities. Loaders donate or recycles more than 70% of everything they haul, which is well above the industry average.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Americans generate over 292 million tons of municipal solid waste annually. Choosing a hauler that prioritizes donation and recycling over landfill disposal makes a real difference at scale.
Same-day and next-day availability is offered in most service areas when you book before 12 PM. If some of your items are still in good shape, LoadUp’s donation pickup service can be paired with junk removal so usable goods find a new home instead of a landfill.
Donation Pickup: Junk Removal With a Purpose
Not every unwanted item belongs in a landfill. LoadUp’s donation pickup service is a responsible alternative, giving still-usable belongings a second life by donating them to local charities and organizations.
How donation pickup works with LoadUp:
The process is similar to junk removal, with one key difference: the destination is a charity, not a disposal facility. You book online, select what needs to go, and choose a pickup window. Your Loaders arrive, carry everything out, and transport items to an appropriate local donation partner, such as a Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, or shelter, based on what’s accepted in your area.
Not every item is guaranteed to be accepted for donation. Charities have specific criteria around condition, type, and current need. When items don’t qualify, your pros handle disposal responsibly through recycling or proper waste management rather than defaulting to a landfill. You can also request a donation receipt from your Loader when items are successfully donated.
Donation pickup is a good fit for:
- Downsizing after children leave home or before a senior relocation
- Estate transitions and full home cleanouts
- Clearing out spare rooms, storage areas, or overstuffed closets
- Seasonal donations and spring cleaning
- Anyone who wants to give back without the hassle of hauling
The Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity ReStores accept a wide range of household items, from furniture and appliances to general housewares. Your Loaders handle the connection directly, so you don’t need to arrange your own drop-offs.
For larger cleanouts where some items are too worn to donate, donation pickup and junk removal can be combined in a single booking so everything gets handled at once.
Furniture Assembly: Professional Setup, No Hassle
Furniture assembly is one of the most consistently underestimated household tasks. A 2023 survey by Ikea Hackers found that the average person underestimates assembly time by more than 50%. What looks like an hour on the box regularly turns into a much longer afternoon.
LoadUp’s furniture and product assembly service takes that off your plate entirely. Pricing typically runs 20-30% below the national average, with same-day availability when you book before 12 PM.
How furniture assembly works with LoadUp:
Simply select the items you need assembled in our booking system, and choose a time. Your Loaders arrive fully equipped with all the tools required. Nothing is needed from you. Your team unpacks the item, lays out all components, follows the manufacturer’s instructions, and completes the assembly correctly and safely. When the job is done, they will also clear all packaging materials from your space.
If you’re replacing old furniture at the same time, LoadUp can haul the old pieces away as an add-on during the same appointment. That means a complete swap, whether a bedroom set or a home office, handled in one visit instead of two separate bookings.
What LoadUp assembles:
- Furniture: beds, wardrobes, dressers, sofas, dining tables, storage units, entertainment centers, and more from IKEA, Wayfair, Amazon, Target, and Costco
- Exercise equipment: treadmills, ellipticals, weight benches, home gym systems, stationary bikes
- Desks and office furniture: standing desks, task chairs, filing cabinets, bookshelves, conference tables
- Kids’ furniture: cribs, toddler beds, bunk beds, loft beds, and toy storage
- Outdoor and patio furniture: sectionals, dining sets, pergola kits, and fire pits
- Basketball goals and outdoor sports equipment
This is especially useful when you’ve just moved in and have a full room to furnish at once. Pairing assembly with moving labor on the same day means you can go from an empty truck to a fully set-up space in one coordinated booking.
Moving Labor: Professional Help, Without the Full-Service Cost
Full-service moving companies can cost between $1,000 and $5,000 or more for a local move, according to Moving.com. For many people, that cost is hard to justify when what they really need is a reliable team to do the heavy lifting.
LoadUp’s moving labor service is built for exactly that. You handle the logistics and rent the truck; LoadUp connects you with background-checked Loaders to do the work. Service starts at $156 per hour with a team of two.
How moving labor works with LoadUp:
Book online, estimate the hours you’ll need, and describe the job. Your team arrives at the scheduled time ready to work. They handle all the lifting, carrying, and loading, protecting your furniture and navigating stairs, hallways, and elevators as needed. You stay in control of the route and timeline since the truck is yours.
You can book loading help at your origin, unloading help at your destination, or both. For local moves, many people book a few hours at each end. If the job runs longer than expected, your team can often extend on-site depending on availability. And once you’re settled in, LoadUp’s assembly service can be booked as a follow-up so you’re not spending your first night surrounded by flat-pack boxes.
How LoadUp moving labor works, at a glance:
- Loading service: Your Loaders arrive and professionally load your rental truck or moving container
- Unloading service: Your Loaders meet you at the destination and unload everything into the right rooms
- Room-to-room moving: Need furniture rearranged within your current home? Your team can handle that too
Compatible with all major rental options:
U-Haul, PODS, Budget, Penske, Enterprise Truck Rental, U-Pack, and more.
Who benefits most from LoadUp moving labor:
- DIY movers who want control over their move without the physical strain
- Apartment and condo residents navigating stairs, elevators, and narrow hallways
- College students making their first solo move
- Local movers who don’t need the full scope of a traditional moving company
- Anyone who’s run out of favors to call in
The American Moving & Storage Association reports that approximately 40 million Americans move each year. A significant portion do it themselves, and LoadUp’s moving labor service is built exactly for that market.
Hourly Labor: On-Demand Help for Any Home Task
Of all the services LoadUp offers, hourly labor is the most versatile and possibly the least understood.
The idea is simple: book background-checked pros by the hour through LoadUp’s platform to tackle physical tasks around your home. There’s no set scope, no project minimum beyond the hourly commitment, and no restriction on the type of work involved.
How hourly labor works with LoadUp:
Book online, describe what needs to get done, and select how many hours you need. Your team of two arrives at the scheduled time and gets to work based on your direction. If one task wraps up early, your pros move on to the next thing on your list. You direct; your team executes.
The one-hour minimum keeps it practical for smaller jobs. For bigger projects like a full garage cleanout or pre-listing home staging, two to three hours gives the team enough time to make a real dent. Hourly labor also pairs well with other LoadUp services: if a garage cleanout turns up a pile of junk to haul, you can add junk removal to the same appointment. If you’re staging a home and need old furniture out, donation pickup can run alongside the labor booking.
Common uses for LoadUp hourly labor:
- Garage and basement organization: sorting, shelving, hauling, and general space reclamation
- Heavy lifting: moving appliances, safes, oversized furniture, and gym equipment
- Home staging: furniture placement and space prep before a property listing
- Pre- or post-move support: disassembly, storage unit loading, closet clearing, and unpacking help
- Event setup and breakdown: rearranging a space before or after a gathering
- Helping family members: particularly useful for elderly or mobility-limited individuals who need physical help at home
According to a Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies report, Americans spend over $400 billion annually on home improvement and repair. A growing share of that is going toward on-demand labor services, and LoadUp is well-positioned to serve that need.
You only pay for the time you use. No project too small, no task too random.
Why Choose LoadUp for All Your Home Services?
Most homeowners piece together home services from different providers: one for junk removal, another for furniture assembly, a third when they need moving help. That means multiple accounts, multiple scheduling windows, and multiple bills.
LoadUp brings all of it into one platform.
What sets LoadUp apart:
Upfront, transparent pricing. LoadUp shows you your price before you book. No on-site estimates, no volume-based guesswork, no fees added after the fact. You can review LoadUp’s pricing in full before scheduling anything.
Online booking in minutes. Enter your zip code, select your service, and get an instant quote. Many jobs are available same-day or next-day.
Background-checked Loaders. All Loaders are vetted before their first job on the platform. You can feel confident about the pros coming to your home.
Nationwide coverage. LoadUp has been serving customers since 2014 and now operates in more than 18,000 cities across the U.S. Check service availability in your area before booking.
One platform for every service. Junk removal, furniture assembly, moving labor, donation pickup, and hourly labor are all managed through the same account with consistent booking and pricing standards across each service.
Unlike TaskRabbit, which relies on individual gig workers, Lugg, which is limited to moving, or 1-800-GOT-JUNK, which handles junk removal only, LoadUp covers the full range of physical home tasks under one roof.
One Platform for All of It
Most people find LoadUp when they need junk removed. They come back when they need furniture assembled, help with a move, or just a reliable team for a few hours of work around the house. That’s what LoadUp has built toward since 2014: one platform, one booking experience, and a network of background-checked pros ready to show up and get it done.
Today, with over 500,000 orders completed and service in 18,000+ cities across the U.S., LoadUp is one of the most comprehensive home services platforms available to homeowners and renters nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing varies based on the number of items, their size and weight, and your location. LoadUp uses item-based pricing, so you see your confirmed total before scheduling. Get an instant quote at goloadup.com/pricing/ by entering your zip code and selecting the items you need removed. There are no on-site estimates, no hourly surprises, and no fees added at the time of service.
Most junk removal companies, including LoadUp, do not accept hazardous materials such as paint, chemicals, gasoline, pesticides, propane tanks, or asbestos. These require specialized licensing and handling that falls outside standard junk removal. For the vast majority of household items, including furniture, appliances, electronics, mattresses, exercise equipment, and construction debris, LoadUp can help.
Not always. LoadUp offers both in-home pickup, where your Loaders carry items out from anywhere inside the property, and curbside pickup, where you place items outside and no one needs to be present. In-home service requires someone on-site to provide access. Curbside pickup works well if your schedule is tight, and it typically comes in at a slightly lower price.
LoadUp prices by item, not by weight or truck volume. You select the specific items you need removed and the quoted price reflects exactly that. This is more transparent than volume-based pricing, where you’re often charged for empty truck space. Adding more items to a single booking also reduces the per-item cost.
For most people, yes. IKEA furniture consistently takes longer to assemble than the box suggests, often two to three times longer. Hiring a professional means it gets done correctly the first time, without stripped screws, wobbling joints, or leftover parts. LoadUp’s assembly pricing typically runs 20-30% below the national average, which makes it a practical trade-off for most budgets.
A full-service moving company provides a truck, transportation, and a crew. Moving labor provides only the crew. You rent the truck yourself and handle the driving. Moving labor is considerably less expensive and gives you full control over the logistics of your move. It’s a strong fit for local moves, DIY movers, and anyone who wants professional loading and unloading help without the cost of a full-service provider. LoadUp’s moving labor starts at $156 per hour for a two-person team.
Yes. Garage organization and cleanout is one of the most common uses for LoadUp’s hourly labor service. You book by the hour, describe what needs to get done, and your pros show up ready to work. Most garage projects run two to three hours. If the cleanout turns up items you want removed, a junk removal add-on can be included in the same appointment.
Not with LoadUp. After pickup, your pros sort items based on condition and local availability. Usable items are directed to charitable partners including Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity ReStores. Items that can be recycled, including electronics and metals, are routed to appropriate facilities. LoadUp donates or recycles more than 70% of everything it hauls, well above the industry average. If donation is your primary goal, LoadUp also offers a dedicated donation pickup service.
Not far. Same-day pickup is available in most markets when you book before 12 PM, and next-day availability is standard across the majority of LoadUp’s service areas. For larger jobs like full estate cleanouts or whole-garage removals, booking a day or two ahead gives you more flexibility on timing. Check real-time availability at goloadup.com/book-online/.
