It’s 🌎 Day, let’s celebrate.

Today’s the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day! To celebrate, we wanted to let you know how we’re making eco-friendlier choices all around. From recycling and donation, to avoiding the landfill at all costs. But we’re going further than just words, too.

LoadUp was founded 6 years ago to bring honesty and transparency to the waste management industry. It’s a mission we’ve been focused on ever since, and over the years we’ve begun tackling more complex sustainability issues. Our team has become energized in recent months to set new standards in single item junk removal services and return logistics. That is why we are expanding our sustainability efforts into finding ways to improve and make it easier to recycle old mattresses, household goods, and more.

creating high rates of recycling We called out the bait and switch tactic used by other junk removal companies and developed a system that provides upfront pricing and allowed us to lower our costs and provide single item pickups. We’ve improved our driver routing platform to notify the customer with a driver’s location tracker to protect everyone’s time.

We’re committed to finding non-profit furniture donation partners in every major city in 2020. Take a look at some of our newest partners. Many more coming soon.
