Junk has a way of piling up until it's one more thing on the list. In Cato, LoadUp makes it simple: pick a time, see your price upfront, and get it gone.
You look things up, call the town hall, leave messages with a few haulers, and maybe hear back from one. Weeks go by, and that pile in the garage or shed is still waiting on you.
A small rural town often has no scheduled bulk pickup, and any drop-off option usually means you load, haul, and unload everything yourself. Appliances, tires, and electronics often have their own rules, and none of it helps when you can't lift the items.
Many haulers want to drive out and look before they'll give you a price, and a long rural drive can mean waiting days for that visit. Truckload pricing leaves you guessing what fraction counts, and the final number can change once they arrive.
Thrift stores need items they can resell, so stained couches, worn mattresses, and broken appliances often get turned away. Even when something qualifies, you still have to get it there, which can be a long trip toward Manitowoc with a full load.
A roll-off sounds simple until you're arranging delivery and pickup windows, finding a level spot that won't rut your lawn or block the driveway, and doing all the lifting yourself. For one room or a single outbuilding, you're paying for space you won't use.

If the old recliner or scrap pile is already sitting near the end of your driveway, curbside keeps things simple. For junk still tucked inside a machine shed, a detached garage, or an upstairs bedroom, full-service means your Loaders carry it out from where it sits.

Rural living means the nearest town is a drive, the old sofa won't fit in your sedan, and borrowing a neighbor's truck eats a Saturday. Your Loaders handle the heavy part, carrying it out of the barn, garage, or basement. Cato neighbors look out for each other, and your Loaders like showing up for you.
Out in rural Manitowoc County, nearby drop-off options can be few and far between, so where your items end up matters. In Cato, your Loader sorts each load by condition, favoring reuse when local options allow.
Furniture, tools, and household goods in good, clean shape may be donated when possible and local options allow. Your Loader sets them aside for reuse instead of the dump, though no specific destination or paperwork is promised.
Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for donation, like scrap metal or broken appliances, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them from the rest of the load when local options allow.
Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items, such as soaked mattresses or rotted furniture, are hauled away for responsible disposal. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading from your barn, garage, or yard, so you don't have to.
Wisconsin bans many common cleanout items from landfills, so putting them in with regular trash breaks state recycling law. Here is how that works in Cato and Manitowoc County.
Manitowoc County's compost sites accept brush and branches only if they are under 6 inches in diameter and 5 feet long. They do not take stumps, lumber or sod with soil. Leaving trash at a compost site counts as dumping and can bring a fine under county code.
Wisconsin's electronics recycling law keeps televisions, computer monitors, desktop printers and other covered devices out of landfills and incinerators. The Manitowoc County Recycling Center runs an ongoing electronics collection program. Toasters are not on the banned list.
Manitowoc County's Clean Sweep is a single spring collection. For 2026, the county partnered with Brown County's Hazardous Material Recovery Facility in Green Bay, so households can drop off acceptable hazardous waste for free all year. Fees still apply there for latex paint, batteries, propane tanks and electronics.
The Manitowoc County recycling depot accepts recyclables only and has no trash drop-off. Garbage has to go through a private collection service or to Ridgeview Landfill. The depot stays open on Saturdays all year, but the main office is closed on Saturdays from November through March.
Wisconsin's recycling law bans major appliances from landfills, and the list goes beyond the kitchen. It includes furnaces, boilers, water heaters, dehumidifiers and air conditioners. Basement cleanouts in older Cato farmhouses can turn up these items, and each one has to be recycled.
Wisconsin law bans corrugated cardboard from landfills, but waxed cardboard is not on the list. At Manitowoc County's recycling depot, residents can put large loads of cardboard on the designated pile on the tipping floor after removing plastic bags and strings.

(678) 884-4738Yes. The Town of Cato runs a municipal drop-off site on Meier Lane, open Saturdays 8am to 1pm, and you can call 920-775-4741 to confirm what it accepts. Cato has no city curbside service, so rural residents usually haul items themselves or hire help.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Cato starts at $90 for a single item, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.
Sometimes. Availability in rural areas like Cato depends on Loader schedules near Manitowoc County, so enter your address at booking to see live same-day and next-day openings. For curbside pickups you generally don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be present or leave access notes.
Household hazardous waste like paint, solvents, and pesticides needs special handling. Manitowoc County's Clean Sweep program takes it from county residents and farms at no cost, in original containers. Tires are accepted at county sites for a fee, so don't mix them into a general junk load.
Loaders try to donate usable items and recycle materials whenever options allow, depending on acceptance at local facilities. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to the appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition, so none of it is guaranteed.
You enter your address and describe your items online, then see the price before you commit. Pick a pickup window, and a Loader typically calls before arriving. They haul the items away, and the price you were quoted is the price you pay.
Self-hauling to the Cato drop-off site on Meier Lane or a county facility is often cheaper if you have a truck, time, and items the site accepts. The site is only open Saturday mornings, so hiring help makes sense for heavy loads, tight schedules, or items the site doesn't take.
The pricing model and booking flow differ. Traditional haulers usually price by truckload and may give an estimate on site. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. A large cleanout may suit a truckload hauler better, while one or two items often cost less per item.
