Junk has a way of piling up until getting rid of it turns into its own project. Book a Botno pickup, see the price before you commit, and have it loaded up and gone.
You call the city about the big stuff, hear what the truck will not take, then leave messages with a hauler or two. One never calls back. A month on, the junk is still sitting where it was.
Regular city service is built around the can, not a chest freezer or a stack of old deck boards. Whatever the truck leaves behind, you are expected to sort, load, and drive out yourself, and appliances, tires, and old paint are not accepted at the city site anyway.
Most want to see the load before naming a price, so you book one visit for the estimate and wait on another for the actual work. Truckload fractions are guesswork until someone is standing in your driveway, and the number can still move once loading starts.
Anything torn, stained, or no longer working gets declined, and rightly so, since a small shop cannot store what it cannot sell. You still lift it, drive it over, and risk a no at the door, then load the same junk back up again.
A roll-off has to be trucked in, parked in the driveway for days, and picked up on the company's schedule, all so you can do the lifting yourself. For one room or a single heavy item, that is a lot of steel to rent.

No waiting on callbacksLocal Loaders arrive at your location, haul away the junk, and dispose of it responsibly when options allow.
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.

A chest freezer at the bottom of narrow basement stairs takes planning, not guesswork. Your Loaders are background checked and rated by real locals in Bottineau after each job.
If the mattress or the old deck boards are already sitting in the driveway or by the garage door, curbside is the simpler route. Choose full service when the load is still down in the basement, back in a shed, or up a flight of stairs, and your Loaders will carry it out from wherever it sits.

Everybody here can find Tommy Turtle with their eyes closed, and everybody here has a truck. The problem was never the truck. It is the miles between your driveway and somewhere that will actually take a busted chest freezer. Your Loaders handle the lifting and the driving, because folks in this town have earned an easier Saturday.
Clearing a Bottineau basement or shed is only half the job, since where each item ends up depends on its condition. Your Loader sorts as they go and takes the load to an appropriate site.
Furniture and household goods still in clean, usable shape may go to a local donation or reuse outlet when one is accepting items. Want a receipt? Donate those pieces yourself before pickup.
Worn pieces get checked for salvageable material instead. Metal appliance shells, scrap wood, and old electronics can go to a recycling site when nearby options allow, which sometimes means a longer drive.
Water-stained mattresses, collapsed sleeper sofas, and broken exercise equipment have no second life left. Those ride out with your Loader to a permitted landfill or transfer station serving the Bottineau area.
Junk left sitting in the open can be treated as a public nuisance, so know how Bottineau and Bottineau County handle each material before hauling anything.
State law has prohibited disposal of major appliances, lead acid batteries and used oil in North Dakota landfills since 1992, so refrigerators, washers and water heaters have to be routed to a scrap metal recycler instead.
Federal clean air rules require a certified technician to recover refrigerant from fridges, freezers, window air conditioners and dehumidifiers before they are dismantled or recycled. Venting it during disposal is illegal, which is why scrap yards ask about it.
North Dakota does not require households to recycle electronics, though screens, circuit boards and batteries can carry hazardous components that need special handling. Local recycling options narrowed after the Minot recycling center closed in 2020, so drop offs take planning.
The city site does not accept tires, batteries, oils, paints, solvents or appliances. Bottineau closed its municipal landfill in 1993 and now runs a transfer station, with household garbage hauled to a regional landfill near Sawyer.
Since 2009 the city has taken wood only at its burn pile and rejects loads containing sheetrock, shingles, carpet, glass, paper or metal. Remodeling debris has to be separated first, or the entire mixed load gets refused.
City ordinance bars burning garbage, refuse or rubbish within Bottineau, and state air quality rules separately prohibit open burning of tires, shingles, plastics and treated wood. Yard waste is meant to be separated for composting rather than buried.

(678) 884-4738The city garbage truck only collects household trash in city-issued cans, so anything set beside the cans gets left behind. Furniture, wood, metal, and other junk need a scheduled special pickup with a fee based on the item and weight. Call the City Office at 701-228-3232 to arrange one.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Bottineau starts at $85, and leaving items outside for curbside pickup takes $5 off. The first item covers the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on, so your full total is confirmed before you book. The city charges a separate special-pickup fee based on weight.
Availability depends on Loader schedules in the Bottineau area, so entering your zip during booking shows the soonest open dates. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home if items sit in an accessible spot. Heavy junk inside the home needs someone present so Loaders can reach it.
The city inert landfill and regular pickup won't take tires, batteries, appliances, oils, paints, or solvents. For guidance on those, the city directs residents to call 701-228-3620. LoadUp Loaders can haul most household junk and appliances, but not hazardous materials like paints or solvents.
Loaders sort loads and try to donate usable items or recycle when local options allow, keeping what they can out of the landfill. Bottineau's curbside recycling has been limited since the Minot center closed in 2020, so reusable goods are often better routed to area charities and thrift shops.
You book online by listing what needs to go, your Bottineau location, and a time that works, then you see the total price upfront before confirming. On pickup day your Loader typically calls ahead, then handles all the lifting and loading so you don't have to move anything yourself.
LoadUp prices each item online and locks the total before anyone arrives, so you skip the in-person estimate that truck-based haulers usually require. LoadUp has served the Bottineau area since 2014, and for small one or two item jobs the upfront per-item price is often lower than a truckload quote.
Each spring the city sets aside dates when residents can place unwanted junk on the boulevard for neighbors to take for free. It's a handy way to rehome usable items, though leftovers still need proper disposal afterward. For anything that doesn't get claimed, a scheduled pickup clears it out.
