The Problem

Clearing out a Clayton garage shouldn't take all season

You search online, call the hauler line, request a few quotes, and wait. One company never calls back, another wants to come look first. Weeks later, the junk is still parked beside your car.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs can cover the basics, but they usually need to be requested ahead of time, come with item limits, and skip things like paint or chemicals. You also handle all the lifting yourself, which is hard when the pile sits at the top of a sloped driveway.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to send someone out for an in-person estimate before they'll give you a price. Then the quote comes as a fraction of a truckload, which is hard to picture. You may not know your real total until the crew has already loaded up.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers look for clean items in good working condition, and they have every right to. Stained upholstery, broken appliances, and worn-out mattresses often get turned away, so you're left with the leftovers and a second trip to figure out.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off dumpster makes sense for a full remodel, not a spare bedroom. You'll have to schedule delivery and pickup, possibly look into permits, and give up driveway space for days while the neighbors look at a big steel bin you only half filled.

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.

Loaders who show up ready to work

Hauling a recliner out of a packed garage and down a sloped driveway takes care, and your Loaders bring it. Every one is background-checked and rated by real locals in Clayton after each job.

Pickup Options

Set it at the curb or leave it where it sits

If the old treadmill or bagged yard debris is already waiting at the bottom of your driveway, curbside keeps things simple. When items are still in a back bedroom, a side yard, or partway up a sloped lot, full-service lets your Loaders carry everything out from wherever it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Clayton, from Marsh Creek Road to the Concord line

Wrestling an old dresser down a sloped driveway, then strapping it into the truck bed for a dump run, is a lot to ask of a weekend. Your Loaders handle the lifting, the carrying, and the steep side yard, and they genuinely like showing up for neighbors in a town this small.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast on hillside lots with full garages and side yards, so where things end up matters in Clayton. Your Loader sorts by condition, favoring donation or recycling when local options allow.

Local Disposal Rules

The Clayton disposal rules most residents don't know

Toss a battery in the cart and it can spark a truck fire, while unbooked curb piles simply stay put. These rules apply in Clayton, Contra Costa County.

Rule 01

Refrigerators and air conditioners need refrigerant removed before scrapping

California treats major appliances as materials that need special handling, so refrigerants and mercury switches must be removed before the metal can be recycled. Clayton's large item pickup accepts refrigerators and air conditioners at the curb by appointment at no charge.

Rule 02

Green waste and cardboard share four free cleanups a year

Clayton households get four green waste and cardboard cleanups each year at no charge, by appointment through Republic Services. Summers are dry and the hillsides near Mount Diablo are grassy, so booking one after spring brush clearing keeps cut vegetation from sitting around as fire fuel.

Rule 03

Furniture and mattresses go to the curb only by appointment

Once booked, Republic Services collects furniture, mattresses, washers, dryers, stoves, and hot water heaters from Clayton curbs at no charge. Clayton households also get two free general trash cleanups each year, and extra pickups can be scheduled for a fee.

Rule 04

Remodel debris from permitted projects must be mostly recycled

California's CALGreen building code requires covered permitted construction and demolition projects to recycle or reuse at least 65 percent of nonhazardous debris. Small amounts of materials like ceiling tile can go in a garbage cart if the lid closes. Larger loads call for a debris box.

Rule 05

Household batteries go out separately in a sealed plastic bag

California bans batteries from household trash as universal waste, and crushed lithium cells can catch fire inside collection trucks. In Clayton, you can seal household batteries in a zip-top bag and set them beside the recycling cart on service day for curbside pickup.

Rule 06

Old TVs and computer monitors cannot go in any Clayton cart

California bans electronic waste like televisions and computer monitors from household trash because they can contain lead and other heavy metals. Clayton offers curbside e-waste collection at no charge, scheduled by appointment through Republic Services.

Not unless it is part of a bulky pickup arranged with your garbage hauler. Items left out on their own can count as illegal dumping, and California Penal Code 374.3 allows fines up to $10,000. Ask your hauler about bulky item rules and limits.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Clayton 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 charge, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

Same-day pickup is sometimes available, depending on Loader schedules in the Clayton and Concord area. Enter your address during booking to see live availability. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access instructions.

Hazardous items like paint, pesticides, fuel, propane tanks, and car batteries need special handling. Clayton residents can drop them off free with proof of residency at the Central Contra Costa HHW facility, 4797 Imhoff Place in Martinez, (800) 646-1431.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on what local charities and recyclers accept. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition and are never guaranteed.

You pick your items and enter your Clayton address online, then choose a time window and see your price upfront. A Loader arrives, removes the items, and handles the loading and hauling. You don't need to move anything to the truck yourself.

The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King typically price by truck volume, often confirmed on site. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms your total before booking, which can suit small jobs. Large cleanouts may fit truckload pricing better.
