The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Cahokia takes more than one call

You search online, call the city, leave messages with a few haulers, and wait. One calls back with a vague estimate, another never does. Weeks later, the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Since the 2021 merger, bulk pickup questions go through Cahokia Heights, and municipal pickup schedules don't always match your timeline. Some items get turned away, and you still have to drag everything heavy out to the street yourself before the scheduled pickup day.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come out and look before they give you a number, then price by how much of the truck they guess you'll fill. You often don't know the real cost until the job is half loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need things they can actually resell, so a stained mattress, a water-marked dresser, or a couch with a broken frame usually gets turned away. Then you're left hauling the rejects back home and starting over.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A rented dumpster can sit in your driveway for days, block the street, and may need a permit. It also leaves all the lifting to you. For a basement corner or one cluttered room, it's more hassle than the job calls for.

Background-checked Loaders you can count on

Carrying a heavy dresser up steep, narrow basement stairs in an older home takes patience and good footing. Your Loaders are background-checked professionals, rated by real locals in Cahokia after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Leave it by the driveway or have it carried out

If your items are already sitting in the driveway or at the edge of a big yard, curbside is the simple choice. For a sleeper sofa wedged in a back bedroom or a chest freezer in the utility room of an older home, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry it out and load it for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Cahokia and the whole Metro East

Old houses on big river-bottom lots tend to collect things: the basement sofa that outlived two owners, the swing set nobody's touched since the kids grew up. Hauling it yourself means a borrowed truck and a dump line. Your Loaders would rather carry it out for you, because Cahokia neighbors have earned an easier weekend.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Cahokia homes often hold bulky items that outlast their use, from worn sofas to water-stained furniture. Where each piece ends up depends on its condition, and your Loader sorts that out as the truck is loaded.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods in good, clean shape may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader sets those items apart while loading, though donation is never guaranteed and no paperwork is promised.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for donation may be recycled when possible, such as metal frames or scrap pieces. Availability varies, so recycling is never promised for every item.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs
See common questions
Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged or soaked bulky pieces, like ruined mattresses or broken furniture, go to responsible disposal. Your Loader carries them out and loads them. LoadUp does not handle hazardous materials or chemicals.

  • No logistics or transport to handle
  • No sorting or drop-off required on your end
  • Local disposal fees covered

Local Disposal Rules

The Cahokia disposal rules most residents don't know

A banned television or tire in the trash can mean a rejected pickup or a state violation. Here is how disposal works in Cahokia and St. Clair County.

Rule 01

Refrigerators and air conditioners need parts removed before disposal

Illinois treats refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and water heaters as white goods. They cannot be collected for landfill disposal until the refrigerant, mercury switches, and PCB-containing components are removed, because these parts can release ozone-depleting gases and toxic chemicals.

Rule 02

Cahokia's local trash rules now come from Cahokia Heights

In 2021, Cahokia merged with Centreville and Alorton to form the City of Cahokia Heights. Trash service and nuisance ordinances for former Cahokia addresses now fall under Cahokia Heights, so older village guidance residents find online may be outdated.

Rule 03

Old televisions and computer monitors are banned from Illinois landfills

Under the Illinois Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act, televisions, computer monitors, printers, scanners, and video game consoles cannot go to landfills. Manufacturers are required to fund recycling programs, so these items belong at registered electronics collection sites instead of curbside trash.

Rule 04

Household chemicals wait for county hazardous waste collection days

The St. Clair County Health Department holds household hazardous waste collection days, such as the May 2025 event at the St. Clair County Fairgrounds in Belleville. Keeping leftover household chemicals until the next event keeps them out of regular trash carts.

Rule 05

Used tires left outdoors become summer mosquito breeding sites

Illinois bans whole used tires from landfills and requires stored tires to be kept from collecting water. In humid Mississippi River bottomland summers, a tire left behind a garage can breed mosquitoes, so tire retailers and state collection events are the proper routes.

Rule 06

Leaves, grass, and brush stay out of Illinois landfills

Illinois has banned landscape waste from landfills since 1990, which covers leaves, grass clippings, and brush. Fall cleanups need to keep yard debris separate from household trash so it can be composted rather than buried.

Not unless your hauler or the city has set a pickup for it. Junk left out on its own can be treated as illegal dumping in Illinois and may bring a fine. Check current bulk pickup rules with Cahokia Heights, since the city merged with Alorton and Centreville in 2021.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Cahokia starts at $80, and curbside or outdoor pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. The exact total is confirmed before booking. Traditional haulers usually price by truckload.

Same-day slots are sometimes open, depending on Loader availability in your area that day. Enter your address during booking to see live times for Cahokia. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home, and for in-home jobs you can leave access instructions.

Hazardous items like paint, chemicals, solvents, and batteries generally can't go in regular trash or bulk loads in Illinois. Because Cahokia sits on the Mississippi floodplain, flood-damaged debris can also be heavy and wet. Ask your local waste provider or St. Clair County about hazardous waste drop-off options.

Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to the appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition, so none of these are guaranteed.

You pick your items and a time window online and see the total before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader gets in touch before arriving, then removes and loads the items. For curbside jobs you only need to leave the items accessible.

The main differences are pricing model and booking flow. Many traditional haulers charge by truckload and may confirm the price at an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For a large cleanout, a truckload hauler can be a better fit.
