The Problem

Cincinnati has junk options, just not easy ones

First come the searches, then a call to the city, then quote requests to three haulers. One calls back. Another wants to come look first. Weeks later, the junk is still sitting in the basement.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs can work if your timing and your items both line up. Usually you have to request it ahead of time, some items get turned away, and you still have to carry everything out to the street yourself, maybe down a steep hillside driveway.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Lots of haulers won't give you a real number until someone comes out to look in person. Then the price depends on how much of the truck your load fills, and that call gets made on the spot. You don't know what you'll pay until they're already standing in your driveway.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers want clean, working items they can sell again, and that's how it should be. A recliner with a broken lever, a stained mattress, or a dresser with no drawers usually won't make it past the dock. You still have to load it up, drive it over, and hope for the best.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container makes sense for a full gut job, not for cleaning out one attic. You have to plan the drop-off and pickup dates, maybe get a permit if it sits on the street, and live with a big steel box blocking a narrow street or tight driveway.

Professional Loaders you can trust inside your home

Narrow, steep basement steps in an older brick home mean your Loaders carry each heavy piece up and out. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Cincinnati after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Match the service to where your junk sits now

If your items already sit at the end of a flat driveway or beside the alley behind your rowhouse, curbside is the simpler fit. If anything is still in an attic, up in a third-floor walk-up, or at the bottom of a sloped lot, choose full-service so your Loaders carry it out from inside.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Cincinnati, from the Ohio River to the I-275 loop

Cincinnati's hills look great on a postcard, but they're less charming when your old basement sits behind a steep driveway and a flight of narrow stairs. Your Loaders do the climbing, carrying, and loading, and they genuinely enjoy showing up for the neighbors who make this city feel like home.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast in Cincinnati's older basements and attics, and where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts each piece by condition, so donation or recycling happens when local options allow, and disposal is the last step.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, housewares, and other items in clean, usable shape may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader carries them out separately from the rest, so reusable pieces stay out of the trash where available.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor
See donation pickup
Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for donation may be recycled when possible. Your Loader separates materials like scrap metal or cardboard, though mattresses, electronics, and appliances can have their own handling limits.

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

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items that can't be donated or recycled are taken by your Loader for responsible disposal at an appropriate local facility, rather than being left for you to deal with.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Cincinnati disposal rules most residents don't know

Put out the wrong item and it can stay on the curb or bring a violation notice. Here is what applies to cleanouts in Cincinnati and Hamilton County.

Rule 01

Dried latex paint is trash, but oil-based paint is not

Hamilton County treats latex paint as non-hazardous once it is completely dried out with kitty litter or a paint hardener. The can then goes in regular trash with the lid off. Oil-based paints, stains, and solvents belong in the county's household hazardous waste program.

Rule 02

Schedule up to five bulk items through 311Cincy

Cincinnati collects up to five bulk items per household when you schedule them through 311Cincy. Pickup falls on your regular collection day or a Friday. Only homes that get City garbage service qualify, and buildings the City treats as commercial must arrange private collection.

Rule 03

Ohio limits who can haul ten or more scrap tires

Ohio EPA requires anyone moving ten or more scrap tires at a time to be a registered scrap tire transporter. Abandoned tire piles breed mosquitoes and are hard to put out once they catch fire, so old tires need a legitimate destination.

Rule 04

Ohio landfills cannot accept separated yard waste

Ohio has banned source-separated yard waste from landfills since the 1990s, so it gets composted instead. The Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District runs seasonal yard trimmings drop-off sites that are free for county residents.

Rule 05

Remodel debris left on vacant lots counts as open dumping

Ohio law bans open dumping of solid waste, including construction and demolition debris, anywhere other than a licensed facility. Cincinnati can cite illegal dumping, and 311Cincy takes reports so the City can track and clear problem sites.

Rule 06

Refrigerant must be recovered before fridges and AC units go

Federal Clean Air Act rules apply across Ohio and require the refrigerant in refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, and air conditioners to be recovered before disposal. Releasing it damages the ozone layer, so ask about Freon requirements when scheduling through 311Cincy.

Not unless it fits your regular trash service. Items set out beyond what your hauler accepts can be treated as illegal dumping. Check your hauler's bulk item rules and any city requirements before setting anything out.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Cincinnati starts at $75, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $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.

Sometimes. Same-day slots depend on Loader availability in your area and the time you book. Enter your address during booking to see live openings for Cincinnati neighborhoods like Hyde Park, Clifton, or Westwood.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Leave the items out and add access notes at booking. For items inside, someone should be there, or you can leave entry instructions. Your Loader gives notice before arriving.

Hazardous items like paint, chemicals, and batteries usually can't go in regular trash or bulk pickup. Large or restricted items often need special handling too. Check with Hamilton County's solid waste district for household hazardous waste options.

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 and condition.

Pick your items online, choose a time window, and see your total before you confirm. On pickup day, your Loader arrives in that window, hauls the items out, and loads them. You pay after the job is done.

Pricing model and booking flow. Many traditional haulers price by truck space and may confirm the total on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before booking. For big cleanouts, a full-truck hauler can be the better fit.
