The Problem

Getting junk out of Ellettsville is harder than it looks

You search for answers, call the town office, get bounced to the county, leave messages for a couple of haulers, and hear back from one. Meanwhile the pile in the garage sits there for another month.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Ellettsville is a town, not a city, so there may not be a bulk pickup program for your address at all. County drop-off options do exist, but they come with set hours and material limits, and you still have to load and drive everything there yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to visit for an in-person estimate before they'll name a price, then charge by how much of the truck you fill. You may not know the final number until the junk is already loaded and it feels too late to say no.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need items they can actually resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken furniture often get turned away. That leaves you hauling the rejects back home, plus anything that was never donation material to begin with.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster sits in your driveway for days, may need approval if it goes near the street, and depends on delivery and pickup windows that might not fit your schedule. And after all that, you're still the one hauling everything out and lifting it over the side.

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.

Vetted Loaders you can count on

Getting an old freezer up a narrow basement stairway takes care and muscle, and your Loaders do that lifting. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Ellettsville after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Waiting at the curb or still tucked inside

If the broken riding mower or scrap lumber is already sitting in your driveway or by the road, curbside keeps things simple. Choose full-service when it's still in a basement, an attached garage, or a shed out back, and your Loaders will carry it out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Ellettsville, on both sides of State Road 46

Between the daily commute and a garage that never quite empties, nobody in Ellettsville has a spare Saturday for borrowing a truck and making dump runs. Your Loader does the lifting, loading, and hauling, so the weekend stays yours. Showing up for neighbors who work hard and keep this town running is the part we like best.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items rarely fit in a trunk, so where they end up matters as much as getting them out. In Ellettsville, your Loader sorts each item by condition and aims to keep usable things out of landfills.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Items in good, clean condition may go to donation when local options allow. Your Loader will aim to set them aside for a charity channel. If you need tax documentation, arrange the donation yourself with the charity.

  • 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 where available. Your Loader will aim to separate metal, electronics, and other materials when local options allow, rather than sending everything to one pile.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs

Heavily Damaged

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Ellettsville disposal rules most residents don't know

Waste left in the wrong pile or brought on the wrong day can be refused and end up back in your yard. These rules apply in Ellettsville and across Monroe County.

Rule 01

Trash at the rural recycling center requires official orange bags

Residents who drop off household trash at the Ellettsville Recycling Center must use the district's 33-gallon Big Orange Bags or 15-gallon Little Orange Bags. Stores in Ellettsville sell the bags. This pay-as-you-throw rule does not apply to households with private trash service.

Rule 02

Leaf collection can end early once winter weather arrives

Ellettsville collects leaf piles from October through December, or until the weather makes it impossible, and bagged leaves wait until spring. Piles must sit at least ten feet from any storm drain and stay free of grass clippings, litter, and pet waste.

Rule 03

Electronic screens and Freon appliances go to South Walnut only

The Ellettsville Recycling Center takes only limited household hazardous waste: batteries, used motor oil and filters, and used antifreeze. Electronic screens, Freon appliances, unused paint, and all other household hazardous waste go to the district's South Walnut Recycling Center.

Rule 04

Town brush pickup is meant for small loads and storm damage

Ellettsville's chipper service is only for homes inside town limits. It runs from spring to early fall and is meant for small amounts of branches or severe weather damage. Put brush between the curb and sidewalk, away from leaves. Badly stacked piles can be refused.

Rule 05

Free bulky item drop-off comes to Ellettsville three months a year

The Monroe County Waste Reduction District rotates free bulky item disposal among its rural recycling centers. The Ellettsville site hosts it in January, May, and September. The South Walnut center does not offer this service, so plan your cleanout around those months.

Rule 06

Construction materials and dirt are left out of town brush pickup

Ellettsville's leaf, tree, and brush ordinance says the Street Department will not pick up construction materials, dirt, or root stumps. Remodeling scraps or a pulled stump left by the curb will need to be disposed of another way.

Not unless your trash hauler has agreed to take it. Regular household trash service usually covers only bagged or bin waste, and bulky items left out can count as illegal dumping. Check with your hauler or the Town of Ellettsville first.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Ellettsville starts at $80 for the first item, which includes the base pickup fee. Each additional item is a flat add-on, and the exact total is confirmed before booking. Curbside or outdoor pickup takes $5 off the base price.

Often yes, depending on Loader availability near Ellettsville and how early you book. Next-day slots are more common. Enter your address during booking to see which times are open. For curbside pickups, you usually don't need to be home.

Household hazardous waste such as paint, solvents, pesticides, and batteries generally can't go in regular trash. The Monroe County Solid Waste Management District runs a household hazardous waste facility and recycling centers for these. Confirm accepted items with them before you go.

Loaders try to keep as much out of the landfill as they can. Usable items are donated to local charities when they accept them, and recyclables go to recycling facilities whenever possible. Whatever can't be donated or recycled is disposed of properly.

You pick your items and a time window online, then see your upfront price before you confirm. A background-checked Loader arrives in that window, loads the junk, and hauls it away. You don't pay a different amount on the day than you were quoted.

For a few items, usually yes. Dumpster rentals make more sense for big cleanouts or renovations where you'll fill a container over several days. LoadUp prices per item with the total shown upfront, so small jobs avoid paying for unused space.

The pricing model and booking flow. Traditional haulers typically charge by truck space and may confirm the price on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before booking. For big full-house cleanouts, a truckload hauler can still be a fair fit.
