The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Crestwood shouldn't take weeks

You check the village website, call to ask what qualifies, request a few hauler quotes, and wait on callbacks that never come. Two weekends later, the junk is still sitting right where it was.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs work well for a single item set at the curb on the right day. They usually come with item limits, advance requests, and exclusions, and nobody carries anything out of your basement. The village's current rules are covered further down this page.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before they'll quote it, then price by the fraction of a truck your pile fills. You often won't know the final number until they're standing in your driveway, and by then it's hard to say no.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers only want items they can resell, so torn upholstery, stained mattresses, and older electronics often get turned away. You still have to load and drive everything there yourself, and whatever they reject comes back home with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container means booking delivery and pickup windows, possibly checking village permit rules, and giving up your driveway for days. Neighbors notice, and you're paying for a lot of empty space when all you're clearing is one spare bedroom.

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

Set it at the curb or leave it where it sits

If the old washer or treadmill is already sitting on your driveway, curbside pickup is the simple fit. For anything still inside, like a back bedroom or an upstairs hallway, full-service sends your Loaders in to carry it out for you.

Serving all of Crestwood, on both sides of Cicero Avenue

Borrowing a pickup to haul a sleeper sofa down Cook County roads in pothole season is a gamble nobody wins. Add the stairs and the dump run, and your Saturday is gone. Your Loaders handle the lifting and loading from wherever it sits, and they genuinely like showing up for Crestwood neighbors.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Big, bulky items are hard to move alone, and where they end up matters as much as getting them out. In Crestwood, your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring donation or recycling when local options allow.

  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs

Local Disposal Rules

The Crestwood disposal rules most residents don't know

Illinois bans many common cleanout items from landfills, so putting them in the cart breaks state law. Here is how that works in Crestwood, Cook County.

Rule 01

Old TVs and monitors cannot go in the trash cart

Since 2012, Illinois law has banned covered electronics from landfills, including televisions, computer monitors, printers, and computers. During the spring Crestwood Clean-up, e-waste is not picked up door to door. It has to be brought to the CRWC parking lot.

Rule 02

Trimmed branches must be bundled before curbside yard pickup

Branches you trim, including cleanup after summer storms, can go out for yard waste pickup only if they are bundled in 3 to 4 foot sections and piled neatly at the curb. Illinois has banned yard waste from landfills since 1990, so it is collected separately.

Rule 03

Expired prescriptions belong in the police department drop box

Medicine cabinets often get cleared out during a move or estate cleanout. Crestwood has a drop box at the Crestwood Police Department for unwanted or expired prescription medications. This keeps them out of the household trash and out of reach.

Rule 04

Only one bulk item can go out with weekly garbage

Crestwood allows one bulk item per week next to the Monday garbage cart, so getting rid of several couches or dressers this way takes several weeks. If you have ongoing overflow, you can order extra totes from Republic Services at your own expense.

Rule 05

Refrigerators need refrigerant and switches removed before landfill

Illinois prohibits landfills from accepting white goods such as refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners until the refrigerant, mercury switches, and PCB-containing components have been removed. That is why old appliances are handled differently from ordinary trash.

Rule 06

Textiles skip the curb during the spring clean-up

During Crestwood's spring clean-up, Republic Services picks up refuse door to door starting at 7 a.m., so items need to be out early. Textiles, like e-waste, are not picked up from the curb. They have to be carried to the CRWC parking lot.

Only within limits. Crestwood residents can put out one bulk item per week alongside their regular Monday garbage pickup. Anything beyond that, or items left out without a pickup, can be treated as illegal dumping. Call Village Hall to confirm what qualifies.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Crestwood starts at $80 for a single item, and curbside or driveway pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. Your exact total is confirmed before booking.

Same-day and next-day pickup are often available in Crestwood, depending on the schedule that day. Enter your address during booking to see real-time openings. For curbside pickups you generally don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access notes.

Not with weekly pickup. The village runs a spring clean-up at the Recreation & Wellness Center, 5331 W. 135th Street, which has accepted e-waste, textiles, paint and old prescriptions. TVs carry a fee there. Hazardous materials like chemicals and asbestos can't go with LoadUp either.

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 acceptance.

Book online by choosing your items and address, then pick a pickup window. You see the total before you confirm. On pickup day, Loaders arrive, load your junk and haul it away. You get a heads-up before they arrive.

Pricing model and booking flow. Traditional haulers usually charge by truckload and often confirm the price after an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online and shows the total before booking. For a truck-filling cleanout, a truckload hauler may suit you better.

If you have one bulk item and can wait for Monday pickup, the village option is the better deal because it's included with garbage service. A paid service makes sense for multiple items, items that exceed the one-item limit, or when you need it gone on your schedule.
