The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Chaffee takes more than it should

You search online, call around to ask what gets picked up, leave messages for a couple of haulers, and wait. One calls back, maybe. Weeks later, the pile in the garage hasn't moved.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

When your trash service or the city offers bulk collection, it can save you money. But small towns often have limited schedules, item restrictions, and rules about what you have to drag to the street yourself. Appliances, mattresses, and big loads may not qualify.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come out and look before giving you a number, then charge by how much of the truck you fill. You won't know the real price until the job's done, and you might wait days for anyone to show up.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation drop-offs want items in good, usable shape, and there aren't many of them in a small Scott County town. Stained couches, worn mattresses, and broken furniture usually get turned away, and you still have to load and haul everything there.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster rental means planning delivery and pickup dates, finding level space in your driveway or yard, and doing all the heavy lifting yourself. For a garage corner or one cluttered room, you end up paying for space you never fill.

What sets us apart

Your price is locked before pickup day

Most companies charge by truck space, and the price often changes on arrival. LoadUp charges by item, based on exactly what you're removing.

  • Per-item, predictable. First item includes the pickup fee. Every add-on is flat, no truck math, no hourly rates.
  • Locked means locked. The price at booking is what you pay. No adjustments, no surprises.
  • No-obligation quotes. Big job or full cleanout? Text a photo for a guaranteed price first.

Pickup Options

Serving Chaffee, from the Route M turnoff to the last farm road out of town

Chaffee sits about a dozen miles from Cape Girardeau, which turns one old sofa into a borrowed-truck, half-day errand. You have better things to do with a Saturday. Your Loaders do the lifting and loading, and they like showing up for the folks in this town, whether it's a garage, a porch, or a back lot.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast in older Chaffee homes, and where they end up matters as much as getting them out. Your Loader sorts each piece by condition, so usable things are kept out of the trash when possible.

  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Local Disposal Rules

The Chaffee disposal rules most residents don't know

Burning cleanout debris can bring an ordinance violation, and landfills turn away items that state law bans. Here's how these rules apply to Chaffee homes and across Scott County.

Rule 01

Tire shops must take old tires when selling new ones

Missouri bans whole tires from landfills, partly because tire piles hold rainwater and breed mosquitoes in humid summers. State law requires tire retailers to accept as many used tires as the new ones they sell, which gives worn sets an easy place to go.

Rule 02

Burning household trash is not allowed inside city limits

Chaffee's code prohibits open burning of refuse. Any exception needs a request filed with the Mayor. The request must show that burning is the only workable option and have fire authority approval. The city has also issued temporary no-burn orders during hot, dry weather.

Rule 03

Computer makers must take back their own brand for free

Under Missouri's equipment recovery law, computer manufacturers that sell in the state must offer free collection of their own brand of desktop and notebook computers and computer monitors. That gives Chaffee households a no-cost way to get rid of aging home office equipment.

Rule 04

Old couches and dressers carry a per-item city collection charge

Chaffee's solid waste ordinance charges a separate fee for each bulky household furniture or appliance item the city collects. That fee is on top of the regular household trash charge, which the city can bill together with water service.

Rule 05

Bagged leaves and brush generally cannot go to Missouri landfills

Missouri generally bans yard waste from landfills to save space for material that can't be composted. Southeast Missouri's long growing season produces heavy loads of brush and leaves, and composting or mulching at home keeps them out of the trash completely.

Rule 06

Refrigerators and washers are banned from Missouri landfills

State law keeps major appliances out of Missouri landfills so the metal can be recycled and the refrigerant handled safely. A fridge, freezer, or window air conditioner leaving a Chaffee home needs to go to a scrap or appliance recycling site.

Not for long. Chaffee's nuisance ordinance makes it unlawful to cause or maintain a nuisance, including unlicensed dumps, on land in the city or within half a mile of it. Piles left out can bring penalties and cleanup fees billed to the property owner.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Chaffee starts at $75 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.

Same-day and next-day pickup are often available in Chaffee when schedules allow. Availability depends on Loader capacity near you that day, so enter your address during booking to see open times. You can book online without waiting on an in-person estimate.

For curbside or driveway pickups, no, as long as the items are outside and easy to reach. For items inside the home, someone should be there or you can leave access instructions when booking. Your Loader typically gives notice before arriving.

The nearest option is the City of Cape Girardeau Transfer Station, about 15 miles away, open weekdays 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Its rates as of mid-2025 were $84.62 per ton, $25 per appliance, a $20 minimum and a $25 unsecured load fee. Call 573-339-6353 for current rates.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance by local charities and recyclers. Items that can't be reused or recycled are taken to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition, so nothing is guaranteed.

Pick your items online, choose a time window, and see your total before you confirm. On pickup day a Loader arrives, removes the items from the curb, driveway or inside your home, and handles hauling. There is no truckload estimate to wait on.

The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King generally price by truckload, often after an estimate. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before booking. For a few items that can cost less, while big cleanouts may suit a truckload hauler.
